Just adding this to the bugs thread I PMd to Adriano.

Basically The specific issue we are having has to do with using points to purchase downloads.  We are a game modding community where we use the Points system as a currency to download mods.  Every user has the ability to set their own price point for mods.  What we are finding is that when a Member up loads a new mod the first person to download it pays the points price for the mod.  After which all other members can download the item freely without any points being deducted from their bank.  Not sure what is specifically causing the issue but it has been going on for maybe a few months now.

Hey,

Just trying to see if this issue is being worked or resolved as it has been pending for a while now. The main reason we use the app is to allow people to use points to download files, and this feature doesn't work.

I am curious on what is causing this also.  We get the error now and then.  Most of the time it is when you drag and drop a file instead of choosing the "Choose Files" option, but lately we have one user that seems to be getting it more often then not.

So something interesting happened to me today.  Suddenly I was receiving InvalidRequest errors for downloads on the site.  Not sure what triggered it but whe contacting Vultr support they were no help.  I decided to troubleshoot so I disable the S3 Compatible Downloads Applicaion and Cleared the Cache...and welp, everything went back to working again.  Not sure why all this happened but some food for thought if anyone is having issues.

Does this app have the ability to allow users to download files by redeeming points?

I’m about to release a maintenance version to fix issues reported then I’ll contact who’s willing new features; most likely they’ll be added to app itself (like already happened) since I really don’t want to support different versions of same resource.

Hi @Adriano glad to hair a new release fixing issues is coming out.  By chance is the maintenance version going to address the issue reported below?

This ONLY impacts legacy "Standard 25" and "Plus 40" customers at this time. If you did not receive an email, it is because you are not on those packages and no further action is necessary.

So this is why I didn't get any emails, and now that makes sense.  Man oh man....I was getting scared there for a moment.

Also one thing that is not clear is if the 500GB of media storage includes unlimited Bandwidth.  Bandwidth is that thing people never account for and it can be a nightmare if your community is using an insane amount of bandwidth over what is allotted.  For us about 60% of our storage cost is actually for bandwidth as we use about 2TB a month on 250GB of storage.

The jump between starter and growth is pretty significant.  It basically triples our yearly cost as were on the Super 65. @Allen Bradford like your community we handle cost through donations.  On our last cycle we anticipated moving up to the Ultra 100, so our donation goals accounted for that increase but not for this one.

My assumption is the price increase is mainly due to the significant increase in storage allotment from 8GB to 500GB.  Which is a lot, assuming this is all Amazon S3 storage.  For me this does not matter as we pay for our storage/bandwidth separately running us about $250 a year.

What would have been nice is if the storage options were not bundled.  Basically choose your cloud plan...then choose what you want your storage option to be.  For smaller communities or communities with external hosting this would have been a huge cost savings for them.

So this has been an issue in our community for a while, so figured I will test it out here in Invision's community to see if the same thing occurs.  Well to my surprise it does. Anyway here is the issue:

When I am creating a Custom Activity Stream to see lets say Files Uploaded to the marketplace I set it up like so:

As you can see above I want just content items and not reviews or comments.  Now when I browse through my stream I just created I get the following:

Yes....reviews are still coming into the stream even though I specifically said not to add them.  In our community comments come through also, but I am assuming I am not seeing comments here because the Marketplace does not have comments on files enabled.

Maybe this is a bug or maybe I am misinterpreting what those filters actually do, but would love for someone to take a look at this.

Hi @Sonya* and @Darth Vortex I've this error when I install your FX Documentation plugin in v4.6.8. I'm correctly logged in marketplace. Any idea to solve it? Thanks for your job!

I am having the same issue

Unfortunately I am unable to manually install plugins with my cloud plan

Also how do I make this skin?

So another feature request.  Not sure if it is possible but will throw it out there anyway.

Adding Categories to Stories.  Basically when a member adds a story they get to choose a category they want to add the story to.  Then for the widget provide the ability to show specific categories.  This will allow for different story widgets showing different categories of stories on different pages.  Just a thought.

Thanks for your reply.

I find the problem.

Just for anyone else wondering about this question.

Unrestricted moderation permissions are automatically set to allow free shopping. There is a setting in ACP (moderation permissions) where you can disable this option.

The issue you mentioned is actually the same issue I reported back in July.  Basically people use points to be able to download items but only the first person who downloads the item has points deducted.  Tried your solution but that did not work for us.

With the new update, will Elastic Search now also apply to our Similar Content and Activity Streams.

PHP 8? Anything in the logs?

Here ya go

Getting two errors with this one

1. Getting the following message when trying to upload a document.  Currently using IPS Focus themes, but it is also not working with the default theme.  Tried a cache refresh and that didn't work either.

Quote

[[Template mediauploader/front/global/uploadforms is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

2. When setting up categories for just a Documents and nothing else.  The application still wants you to specify a size for images even though I am not allowing them.  When you try to hit save with images not allowed nothing happens, until you toggle images on and you notice the reason for not saving is the missing entry.

3. Also getting the following error when trying to look at the "My Media" page

Cheers!!

LOL Sorry typo. "Exclude"

Also where is setting for members to see bank? 

LOL not just you.  That has not been working right for a while now.  I completely forgot about it.

Just removing certain filters from the quicksearch drop down? Just that? That is probably no big deal.

Yep just this.  Simplifies things a lot.

As for your request. Do-able but also tricky depending on which way you approach it. You could null out the material getting into the search index at all pretty easily - it would require you to rebuild the search index on every change regarding what you want in the index. If you wanted to still have everything indexed but limit the results available that gets brutal real fast. I wouldn't want anything to do with that. Also you have the various search filters both in the quicksearch dropdown and the advanced search page - and that stuff would need dealing with. Blah.

LOL....ok nevermind that.  Reindexing search is not a thing I am a fan of as I have finally got my Elastic Search working somewhat correct even-though it is v6.8...and it is more of a cosmetic thing to remove it from the quick search.

I figured it was something I needed to add to the theme...this tends to be a normal thing with IPS Focus themes.  Thanks for the quick reply will get on adding this to my themes.

@Adriano Faria Can this plugin be modified to be able to move other options in the search menu?  IF not do you know if there is a way to do it through Custom CSS?

Thanks!! While I am here I did want to suggest a feature.  The ability to select what applications you want to enable search for will be nice.  I have a list of almost 20 items in that window and it would be nice to trim this down.

I installed this and it seems to change the background color of the search results to a bright white theme, overwritting the sites dark theme.  Anyway way to fix this?  I'm using IPS Focus themes.

Unfortunately, you'll need to upgrade ES after you've upgraded Invision Community.

Around ES 7.7, they changed the JSON parser which previously was less rigid in the array structures it allowed. The new parser is more strict, which means there are code changes in 4.6.9 to fix those issues in 7.7 of greater.

Works for me 😄. Looking forward to it.
