I see it thank you :).

Ah, sorry about that. It wasnt showing up for me for some reason. I can see it there now. Before I get a ticket created for you on this, please could you confirm the xenforo version you are converting over from?

2.2.9

You would need to ensure you are an alternative contact for that installation, or that you are logged in under that account to post up a ticket. There doesnt appear to be an account under your name with this conversion

My account has been the main account since 2014. 

I make a topic in this section, it makes me pick my license.

@Ghanour system admin is the alternate contact.

Glad to hear you found what you need, but do let us know if there is anything else you are unsure about.

It’s only what I need if my feature request gets made, need to be able to give someone a badge more then once, manually.

This happens right after PMs finished, any attempt to resume the convert process, does this. Please advise.

Anyone using Cloudfront and IPS?

Would it not be setup like any other CDN?

System > Files > Storage Settings > Configuration

Any plans for this to be updated to 4.7?

I would love to see this too. Alongside other QOL improvements on the Achievements side such as the ability to add descriptions to manual badges and the ability to organise the badges list in ACP (maybe adding categories for certain types of badges, etc).

Indeed!

A reward is an option on posts, which you "reward" someone for doing something. It cannot be assigned via the ACP or automatically so you could use it for what you want but it would include some information on the front-end on random posts and highly manual process.

So I've granted the First Post (via the ACP members badge) badge out to a test user as an example and on their profile, I don't see anything exposed except the date and the badge title which is perfect.

We've been unfortunately manually handing out badges every month to users manually for like 6+ years now, it's a thing we have actual staff set to do.

Via the ACP - click 'Manage'

Yeah, found it via that way!

9 minutes ago, Nathan Explosion said:

The above method via the ACP would meet your initial request if your feature suggestion got implemented (no need to dig around and find a post made by the user then)

Indeed. This would basically replicate our existing workflow of giving it to users manually, it's still painful but, it works.

I'll reach out to you via PM.

Using this site as an example - you guys award badges multiple times to users. Example from my own profile - 4 helpful badges awarded in my last five:

How do we accomplish this?

It sounds like that's not possible according to @Jim M

So yeah, instead of helpful, we'd have a badge called "Gold" or supporter that we give to a person manually once every month for staying pledged.

Just now, Jim M said:

That is a reward, which is a little different than manual assignment.

Could a reward trigger be as simple as being in X group at time of trigger run?

We plan to automate the adding and removal of groups with Patreon any way, so if every 1st or second you are still in X group, it just gives you the badge.

I would to suggest the ability for badges to be able to be granted more then once, by either updating the last given date or simply allowing them to multiply on the user's profile.

Just now, Jim M said:

A badge in the Achievements system can only be assigned once. If you would like to see this in a future release, I would recommend posting this in our Feature Suggestion forum. Otherwise, yes, this would require an add-on/customization to get what you are looking for here.

Sounds good.

Hey All,

As we work on our test conversion and learn IPB4, I've been working on feature parity with our existing software. It seems that 41 addons will go down to about 1, two depending on the answers to my following question.

We like to manually give users a badge every month depending on the tier that they pledge to us on at Patreon. Is it possible to grant the same badge more then once, every month? I just tested it, and the system doesn't seem to allow me to grant the same badge again. I don't mind if it just updates the date on a badge regrant or actually gives them multiples of the same badge, either is fine.

Or do I need an addon like:

I would appreciate any advise.

One thing I discovered during the import is that the database table statistics need to be updated. The query planner was using the wrong index for this query of the convert application:

SELECT ipb_id FROM `convert_link` WHERE ( type IN('core_members') ) AND foreign_id='1667' AND app=1 ORDER BY link_id DESC

It was trying to use the "app" index and the query was taking around 3 seconds to execute. After updating table statistics by running ANALYZE TABLE against convert_link, it now runs in 0.0002 seconds.

Likely the statistics got behind because of all the data being inserted quickly.

Made a night and day difference for us.

That sounds more an issue with your mysql instance than anything else there

This is why it's conversion testing! It won't be the only one up until we are ready to do the live site.

Hey all,

I just wanted to reach out and see if there were any plans for ES 8+?

Increasing timeouts on mysql. Ensuring memory_limit is set high on your PHP installation. With background tasks, you may speed the background tasks up by changing the rebuild options but be sure your server can handle before doing this. Other than that however, the conversion is doing quite a lot and can indeed take some time to complete

 

Thanks for your reply!

Seems like Constants.php and the rebuild options will be good at the end of the conversion when we get to that step. Currently it's been about 20ish hours, maybe a little more, here's what it has done.

I was looking at the convert application files and I noticed that in Forums.php and Core.php the batch is controlled by the per_cycle setting. If I alter those, will it do higher batches or is it controlled in other places as well?

Hey All,

I'm doing a test convert on a xenforo site that has 12 million posts and about 19 million PMs and the convert seems slow relative to the board size, so any convert tests or eventually the live site, will be a while.

I would appreciate any advise or conversation on possibly altering the convert application, we have the resources and hardware to spare to crunch this conversion.

@HeadStand

Is it possible to make it so that multiple sets can be required?

Switching to another deletes the choices you picked in the previous.

This may be related: I have this in my admin dashboard:

Any solution on how to fix this? I have a cron job running for background tasks.

@fosters has been trying to fix it. Mine gets stuck at 0.11 though.

I can't reproduce this. Could you please send me credentials to your ACP please?

Sent via PM.

@fosters

As of the latest version of IPS and this application, background tasks for custom notifications get stuck on 0.11% when ever I send one out. I have to manually kill the background process in the database if I want any of the other regular processes queued up to go through.

Yes, the latest version drop me a PM.

Sent :).

@-RAW-

We still can't exclude badges. Does a fix for that exist in this thread?

No.

I'm not sure there is a way for paypal to differentiate what it sends through that gateway link thing. You might need to either create a separate paypal account that is only for the website members, or tell people to not directly donate outside of the website donations to your current address.

It's not really a problem with the app, more a limitation of Paypal.

You could try look around in your paypal settings to see if there is an option to only send the gateway info back to your site if the payee has originated from your website. But I doubt that is an option.

Alright :).

Thanks for the information.
