Hello @batarjal! I hope you're staying healthy and safe..

I'm having an issue with ThreadStarter: Core and by extension, ThreadStarter: Books. After installing ThreadStarter: Core and visiting the Core settings page I am presented with an HTTP ERROR 500 and when I visit the Book settings page I receive "ThreadStarter: Core is not installed!"

Could you help?

Hello - Can you check if you have the latest version of both plugins installed? Do you have any other ThreadStarter Plugin?

The latest ThreadStarter: Core version is available here:

Hi, i upgraded to 4.5.1 but i can't update the application. It gives me " This resource is already installed and up to date"

Im running 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 is available? 

Is this still happening? Updating with 4.5 worked fine for me

Hello,

Does it saves any data in database, or keep them in cache and updates the cache every XXXX time frame?

Thank you

The data is cached in the database and updated periodically

The plugin rejects incomplete game descriptions right now, I'll allow games without texts in the next version

Hello @anon2020

A discography is planned for the future. It would show name and release date of each album and link automatically to a topic for any given album if one exists.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce the issue.
I tested with IPB v4.5.2 and installed my plugins using the marketplace search in the ACP.

Which version of IPB are you using? Are you installing the latest versions of the plugins (1.1.1 and 1.0.7)
Is there a more detailed error shown in one of the ACP log pages?

If you send me a PM with a test account for your forum I can have a look myself to see what is going wrong.

The core package is linked on the marketplace page of each ThreadStarter

It's not allowed to put multiple packages int one download, that's why I don't include it directly anymore.

Please always update the core package to the latest version too.

I uploded a new version that also fixes your issue @Olmyster

@batarjal hi, I have found a bug, when I place the widget in the top center of the forum topic list page. and when I try to make a new topic - the widget is shown at NEW TOPIC page. It should not be like this. It didnt show in there before in older versions or threadstarter mods.

I cannot reproduce this issue. Can you please verify that you didn't add the widget to the Create Topic page?

I added a new version:

Patron Count Goals also doesnt work.

Yes, the patreon API does only support $ based goals.

Okay, but my members still get assigned a secondary group after connecting their Patreon account. For instance, a member who was in the group "Senior Member" gets moved to the group "Patron" and then "Senior Member" becomes their secondary group. So I have to go and manually remove the secondary group for every member.

What about the title above it?

The title is not a language variable right now, I'll change that with the next update.

I'll make the adding the old group as secondary group optional in the next update.

By the way: The Patreon API is no longer actively maintained. 

https://www.patreoncommunity.com/t/an-update-on-patreon-s-api/8628

I think not much will change as the API didn't get any updates in the last years. I added a note on the marketpace page.

I'll look into it for the next update

This will be fixed with the next update, I should be able to upload it in a couple of days.

@Scott Emerton, @Kirill N

You can change the  in the 'Do you support ___ on Patreon' translation: ACP > Customization > Languages > Translate > search for 'patreon_connect_link_description' and replace the %s with any text you like.

Found another issue: "Don't assign groups" doesn't work for extra groups. I select "Don't assign groups, click save, it saves, but when I go to "Group Mappings" again, it's still unchecked.

That setting removes the selected secondary groups, it is unchecked after reloading but there are also no secondary groups selected anymore so they won't be assigned.

One other issue I have is that my patrons come in as "no active pledge" despite definitely having one in Patreon. I think the issue is that I don't have donation tiers or anything.

I didn't consider having no tiers. I'll add a setting for assigning groups to users that have pledged but didn't get in any tiers in the next version.

Hi @batarjal - just setting up an Invision community for my site and interested in linking my Patreon account, specifically to give patrons a special badge or something as a status marker to differentiate them from other members. I assume this plugin/app can do that yeah? I see that I can add them to a group, and surely Invision then lets you denote different member groups in different ways visually?

I don't really want to show targets or leaderboards or anything as I don't like to aggressively push that, but I see that you can prompt people to become a donor when they create an account which would be good.

If you're able to confirm (and maybe point me in the right direction with the visual indicator thing for Patrons) I'd be happy to sign up ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Scott Emerton,
you can assign members to groups according to which patreon tier they pledged to using my plugin. IPB allows to show the groups next to the users post (like here +Clients) and you can also give custom icons for the group.

@Maxxius
It works.

The major outstanding issue is that you have to run a manual update every once in awhile to fully remove people who are former but not current patreon subscribers. If you don't run this manual update they'll continue to be treated as active patrons.

I didn't know that is still an issue - Did you try activating the 'Remove all' setting in the ACP?

The ThreadStarter title is also shown when no ThreadStarters are selected for the current forum, this will be fixed in the next version.

That's odd, did you have ThreadStarter: Core installed when the issue occured?

Is everything working after reinstalling?

@batarjal This doesn't hide titles:

Titles still remain after selecting this - could this be a missing line of code to turn the titles off?

With thanks

Thanks for the feedback, the issue will be fixed in the next update.

For some reason attempting to add Terminator: Dark Fate was throwing up a template error - none of the other entries I'd added to my movies forum have had this effect.  Could it be something in the MDB way it's listed; it's only this one movie doing this.

All good so far:

And then this happens:

Any ideas?

 

That movie works fine for me - Did you do any edits on the ThreadStarter template files?

Do you get any errors in the logs in the ACP?

Sporting events from many sports are imported automatically from other sources there, but not for everything of course.

• If a topic for an event exists the event list will link to that topic.
• Content will be updated automatically. If results for an event are available the results will be shown in the topic for that event.
• Works for most sports and leagues: Soccer, Basebool, Football, Boxing, Formula 1 and many more. A whole list can be found at thesportsdb.com
• The topic will display logo, photos, description text, next and previous events and various other information about the player or team.
• Event topics will be updated automatically with results and additional content like youtube videos if available.
• Discussed content can be shown in adjustable widgets which allow random, recently posted, most discussed and much more...
• Posting content can be restricted to certain forums.

I uploaded a new version:

Quote

• Books can now be added by copy and pasting book URLs from amazon
• Fixed some amazon tracking ID issues
• ThreadStarter topics now get updated automatically after the interval set in the ACP, this will only affect new topics and old topics that have been edited once since the update
• Added a button to set the topic title automatically to the current selected ThreadStarter content
• Fixed some performance issues
• The ThreadStarter Core only has to be installed once instead of one time for each plugin now. This reduces load times and leads to a less cluttered configuration
• All ThreadStarter widgets are combined into a single widget now and have to be reconfigured
• All ThreadStarter APIs have been combined into a single API new and have to be reconfigured

Note: With this update ThreadStarter Core is required, you can download it together with the plugin. It only needs to be installed once, if you installed it from another ThreadStarter plugin you do not need to install it again.
Widgets will need to be reconfigured once. It is recommended to have the latest version of all ThreadStarter plugins installed to avoid compatibility issues.
