Why aren't the Rules App and its extensions available for purchase at the moment?

Is this going to be integrated with member shop points at all? 

Just bought this and created a test list and added it to the menu (and published it)....I don't see it on the menu. I believe my permissions are all good to go. It's not showing up..

Any thoughts on why?

Just bought it, glad to have been one of the first buyers 🙂

Template tournaments/front/teams/template is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.

The same problem. 
Any idea?

Yeah same...what's the support tool exactly?

EDIT: Now that I've played around a little bit with it...I have a few questions:

1) At the moment you have to lead a team to be able to create a tournament. Will there be any way in the future for this to not be the case? Like having the tournament manager not be a participant in it? 

2) Would you be able to add a date (and maybe time) setting for each match? I guess this would go along with my request (I won't push it though 😛 ) for this to be integrated with events 😉

Yes, there’s an overview page with all assigned, open tasks

Outside of each individual projects? Like all assigned tasks within all projects? 

Is there a way for people to see all tasks/issues/etc assigned to everyone? Or at least for the person to see all the tasks/issues they personally are assigned?

Hi! This application looks great and I'm interested in getting it as it is, but it doesn't quite fit what I would fully want, so I want to gauge interest from my fellow admins and from site users before purchase. 

I run a forum for competitive debate and I would like to be able to host online tournaments simply, but a simple single elimination bracket isn't quite sufficient. I have a few different suggestions and they're definitely not too debate-specific to be generally applicable to anyone who wants to host tournaments.

The way debate tournaments are typically structured involve a set of preliminary matches (usually 4-8) that are used to determine seeding and only a set number of teams move into single elimination matches (ex. the top half of prelim performers, only a set number of competitors, only people with winning records, etc.). Usually after each preliminary match or every 2, competitors are re-seeded and placed in appropriate skill brackets. So it's functionally a Swiss format with a single elimination bracket added on to it. Seeding usually happens by win record with the first tiebreaker being "speaker points" given by judges on quality of speaking, but there is a shift toward using "opponent wins" as the first tiebreaker, which cumulatively adds the wins of opponents in order to weigh the difficulty their preliminary matches. 

Other tournament structure options that would be interesting to add:

- Loser brackets: Allowing teams to compete after losing helps determine overall placing in a single elimination bracket.

- Double elimination: requiring 2 losses to be fully eliminated

- Round robin: everyone has a match against one another and then either the best record wins the tournament OR the best 2 teams have a finals match.

- Tournament series: setting up a series of qualifying tournaments that result in a championship tournament among the top performer

 

Other features that would be interesting to see: 

- Integration with commerce - Both for charging tournament entry fees and paying out tournament prizes (being a percentage of the entry fee total). I understand the desire to require people to purchase members shop for this kind of function, but that's not quite what I'm looking for and I think a lot of site owners would probably be willing to pay a higher price for this application with commerce integrated.

- Integration with calendar - Being able to schedule tournament events automatically. 

- Creation of "Leagues" - Allow users to create their own leagues who then administer tournaments to participating teams. Integrating with commerce could mean leagues require membership fees that the site can take commission off of and league owners can charge entry fees for their tournaments that the site can get commission off of as well. Kind of steps up user involvement and investment in participating while allowing site owners to step back from needing to be too heavily involved in constant moderation. Permissions on who can create leagues and requiring league approval would clearly be necessary. Maybe allow for non-league tournaments but attach different commission settings to them. 

- Since my site is about debate, adding an extra layer to teams would be useful. Schools operate as squads with multiple teams who compete individually in a tournament, BUT teams from the same school can't compete against one another. I think that this would also be attractive to users if there was the possibility of winning a prize as it ups their odds. That said, I think it would be ideal to have tournament settings involve allowing teams in the same squad to compete against one another or not. (I'm not sure if this is included when you say "Create unlimited categories and sub categories for members to create teams.")

- Show teams on user profiles. 

- Expand stats to also include history of tournament placing, not just W/L and ELO.

- Ability to set start times for rounds of matches to keep it on schedule as well as notifications for start times/notifications for when pairings are released

I do have some more debate-specific ideas I may ask to have done custom (if you're willing) after purchase and after some other things have been updated with this application.

I concur with Colin. My main requests would be:

• Various tournament formats (double elim, round robin, etc)
• Integration with Calendar
• Creation of Leagues

And I'm sure it can be done without it, but possibly adding an option for whether a tournament will consist of teams, or if individual people could compete in a tournament (non-team sports/competitions).

When using Rules with this app, I don't see an Action option for "Application author." Any ideas?

With this, could each record have its own sidebar of blocks?

I'm trying to come up with a different article (so front-end mods/non-admins can edit--normal turnover, but frequent changes needed to be made to said pages) for each sub-organization on my website, and each sub-organization would have a wiki-like "info block" that gives you basic details like "leader" or "established 2009," etc.

Do you have any link with the demo of this project manager?

I second this.

I am very interested in the app and would love a little demo 🙂

I see. I'll have to talk to him about it.

Also, I was revisiting one of the first issues I was having:

Nope. Sorry. It will require a new version build to be released (unknown timeframe).

Well then I would question the event which you are creating the rule under. The event is going to determine what data is available. If it is the content approved event provided by rules, then the content item should be an event argument and the content author can be derived from that. If it is another event provided by the application plugin, then without the actual application as one of the event arguments, there is no way to know who the author of the application is if the rule doesn't even have access the application which has been approved.

The event I had this under was the "Application Submission Approved" event. So, if I have this straight (from the more recent issue/question I had), this is something that has to do with the "Application Form" app itself? --the fact that I don't have a "Content/Application author" option available to me in the action portion of this event?

@Joel R No, I was using what I think were "vanilla" items--random reputation count, change title, custom item.

Hey There! - I'm getting this everytime I try to add an item.

 

I just bought the app and I am getting this when trying to add items as well.

How can we fix this @TheJackal84 ?

And also, would you be able to add an Action for "When award is given/received" or something along those lines. The intent of my request is to award points/send notifications/etc for when a user receives an award.

To anyone: Is there a workaround any of you have in mind? There is a condition that can check to see if a member has an award...but what rule would I use? What other condition(s) would I have to use to make this workaround work?

I've been trying to engineer a way for this to happen for about 30 minutes...I'm getting nothing lol. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm guessing it's true, but if I upgrade from the Lite to Full, I won't lose my rules I've built right?

I second the ability to award points for voting in polls 🙂

Does this app come with any widgets? Specifically, I'm trying to have a sidebar widget that ranks different usergroups based on sum of all user points of users within each usergroup (that you can select probably). Is there anything like that included in this app? And if not, is it something I'd be able to relatively easily do?

Anyway to make this interoperable with IP.calendar?

I got it working through a sort of work-around ? (Using the topic being accepted/not accepted as the event trigger).

I have another rule I'm working on....would it be possible with this app to notify members the day of/day before a Calendar Event about the event itself? I was looking at conditions for an "Event was created" trigger and the best thing I saw was that you could do a "compare dates" condition and compare the current time to some aspect about the event--whether it's creation date/update date/last post date.

There's nothing I can find in any of the triggers or conditions about the event taking place/finishing itself....am I missing something or is this correct?

@Fighting 13th You may have a wrong setting selecting in your rule configuration. It's hard to say. But maybe you selected the wrong option for the user to grant the award to. It should be the application author and not the currently logged in user.

 

I don't see any option like "application author." This is all I see:

What is an application submission and how does it get approved?

It's one of the apps integrated into the rules application. They get approved through the moderator queue/admin panel.

I'm guessing some sort of php code is needed?

Hi there,

I'm trying to do the following:

When: Application submission approved

If: empty

Action: Notify applicant with a "Welcome Message," and Award applicant a welcome award.

Setting it up the first time, it gave me the award and welcome message...I know why now, but I don't know how I can make it so the applicant gets these messages/awards.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ryan

Awesome! I'm looking at getting this here shortly then.

Does this allow you to add members after the event has already passed? I'm thinking of using this as a way to track actual event attendance for historical events.

Any updates on the other discord features? ?

Thank you for creating this, it will be very useful in my community. I've run through all the steps, made the Discord app, got the key, secret etc and entered everything... however when users click Sign Up, click the Discord link, they get UNKNOWN_ERROR on Discord. Is this a known problem or just us? The forum is a week old with the latest version of IPS. We're over at https://www.arcadia.gg if you'd like to test, I can delete your account afterwards.

I was able to signup just fine on your site ? (I'm thebronxbomber)

Also, @Fosters, as someone else asked earlier, I'm wondering, is this going to be a separate (a "Lite" version) file than the "full" version of this? Or will the "full" version be an upgrade?
