Anyone know of an app/plugin for forcing reading of an announcement?

I found an old archived one but my marketplace searching didn't find something current.

Just checking back in. Search index rebuilt, and exactly the same behaviour as described.

We did one build, when moving on to the Elasticsearch Server. Then another yesterday that finished earlier today when we changed the Elasticsearch Server location. I've triggered a new one now. That will take 24 hours.

In the first instance, please rebuild the search index from system>settings>search using the button provided in the top right. Once this is done, please let us know if you see the same problem

It literally just finished 1-2 hours ago.

Thanks @Marc Stridgen.

These are the current settings:

I can't see which I should change?

Here's another example from a member:

Unread Content 

You'll notice it's set to Topic under Content Types, yet you can clearly see two posts in the Vinyl - Currently Spinning thread showing only minutes apart.

After so many years of putting it off I've finally migrated to Elasticsearch. Can't believe I waited this long, as choosing a local AWS server has seriously sped up general use of the forums and functions.

However, since I did this some members are complaining about a change in the way Unread Content, and View New Posts is working.

Apparently, prior, these would just show the last post in a thread, whereas since enabling Elasticsearch, Unread Content will return every single unread post in a thread.

I did at the same time tweak the settings of the Search functionality so I don't know if it was my doing, or what the default values should have been.

My settings:

Not sure if it was my doing, or just a change in how things work once Elasticsearch is enabled. Any guidance appreciated! 🙂

I'm trying to buy this via Marketplace from AdminCP, and for the life of me I can't get it to show so I can purchase. Any ideas?

Just an update. It comes up when you search exactly "pay to pin topics" with the inverted commas 🙂

That did the trick, good tip. Thanks.

I purchased:

I am on 4.6 which this is marked as compatible with, yet when I go to Marketplace tab via Admincp no matter what I do I can't get this to show up so I can install it.

What am I doing wrong?

No worries, thanks for the reply. I'll dig deeper.

Just now, Adriano Faria said:

I just noticed it’s not tested on 4.7 yet and not marked as compatible that’s why it doesn’t show. Will test it tomorrow. 

I'm not running 4.7 though. Still on 4.6.

Ran the update this morning. Went to add a new field this afternoon and it locks up the whole database.

It's running a select statement that can't run because the tables are locked waiting for that query to run.

SELECT orig_ipb_forums_topics.title as title,orig_ipb_templates_fields_values.field_3 as deal_price FROM orig_ipb_forums_topics LEFT JOIN orig_ipb_templates_fields_values ON orig_ipb_forums_topics.tid=orig_ipb_templates_fields_values.item_id  WHERE orig_ipb_forums_topics.start_date >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2020-03-01') AND orig_ipb_forums_topics.approved=1 ORDER BY orig_ipb_forums_topics.tid DESC Limit 10000000

Waiting for table metadata lock ALTER TABLE `orig_ipb_templates_fields_values` DROP COLUMN `field_12`

It puts the whole site into an Error 500 until we kill those queries or reboot the SQL server.

You are right. But note that we had to change the structure of the app so that we could add new features to it (Version 1.3.0). This process is still going on. In addition to the things you mentioned, we are considering features such as the number of views, achievement,... . Rest assured we will add new features to it soon.

 

I saw an update and got excited. But no new features sadly.

Are you still planning for this or is than an ETA perhaps?

Is this now bug free? Just checking before I purchase.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this plugin, it's a wild success so far with my community! Can't wait to see how you improve on such a great pluging. Reactions and commenting would be BOMB!!!

I want to love it, but there's no incentive to members to use it. We had initial use, but then it has died off despite being part of a 150,000+ member community. We really need reactions (maybe even comments) on the stories, as people's need to be liked/noticed/loved is what is the drawcard to features such as this.'

Did that initial success drop off for you too Mark?

Thanks all. I know where to look now 🙂

Cheers.

A member pointed this out to me this morning and it's not something I had come across or considered before.

Our /forums/uploads directory is browsable - along with the corresponding monthly subdirectories which are created by IPS.

I wouldn't have thought it an issue, until the same member suggested that some of these images often contain sensitive information such as bank transfer details or account information.

Is this a bug, or expected functionality?

Ok im letting it go now. 

Surely I am not the only one getting these repeated and daily Error logs then?

This has gone away since disabling Indexnow (obviously), but I still get daily time outs to:

Our hosts have checked these logs and timestamps against the server logs and there is nothing that corresponds there. The hosts have also pinged each of those with no issue confirming nothing in the firewall blocking these connections. But they do time out daily from the IPS software.

Any ideas or tips please?

@Emediate

Just wanted you to know, that I fixed the issue and the new version is uploaded. is pending approval.

Thank You

I upgraded. For me, your suggested settings still make no difference.

I don't think your settings are working. I have all exactly as you described. It makes no difference at all.

It's set to fill now. Each of those three settings did not seem to make any difference.

I understand Hosted IPS has Remote Commenting feature which I only just discovered. I have no idea if its possible to build for Self Hosted, but are there any developers that could tackle this for use with a site built on ExpressionEngine CMS if so?
