Automation Rules

@alexis - Thanks for the answer, but Maybe if you see inside the plugin's structure, could you somehow figure it out? Just because I don't know that much PHP so I don't really know what code to extract/transform. Thanks in Advance - Zayon

We don't have such an action like "Modify content prefixes" within the Rules actions So the only way to accomplish your needs would be using an "Execute PHP code" as an Action, where you will need to find a right php code, which will correctly set the necessary prefixes... But what a code would it be, I don't know at all

I have several recurring scheduled actions on my board. One of them runs everyday with a bulk of 1000 members. And it works fine every night without skipping anyone or being stuck. The second one runs on a weekly basis each Friday afternoon, and it has 500 members in a bulk. And this action often stops running without any reason. So I had to increase the number of members to 1000 too. So both of them run faster now and without stopping. Probably the problems happen because of the high activity level on my board in the day time, so the high server load bothers my action to run successfully until the end. So I can suggest you to try to run your scheduled actions in the deep night or early morning. Another suggestion would be trying to assign some of your rules to another scheduled action, rather then running them under one scheduled action. - divide your rules into two scheduled action and run them one by one. (For example, start one scheduled action at 4.00 AM and the next one at 9.00 AM).

@alexis - Sorry for being damn late, but the thing worked, only one thing that I can't figure it out is how the rule works when you schedule it, because if I set it to 100, it is very slow and if I set it to 1000 it is very fast but not everyone gets the awards, it's like skipping users without any error/reasons. if you know by any chance how the schedule really works, let me know, please.

Heya, I need help with the next thing: I want that in the specific subforum, a created topic, at the end of the event, that plugin sets the topic's Prefix (Not Tag), into something that I choose. So, let's say this as an example, a user completes a form, that application-form posts the topic inside the Design Requests forum, but there needs to be an "In Waiting" prefix added already to the topic, is this possible? I tested it with the tag, that works, but I need just the prefix, not the tag, I don't use tags there, I will show you what I mean. That is what I wanna do, I use only Prefixes without tags on this zone. There is the overview of the current rule. Rule: Add to In Asteptare Event: Topic has been created Conditions: Topic is in certain forums (Topic inside Cereri Lucrari) Actions: Modify content tags (Add In Asteptare for a Topic) Please help me out with this, this could be a massive changer for my community, because we have a lot of forms what we are in plan but we need this rule to work. Thanks in Advance - Zayon

Oh, I will try and get back here, I didn't even thought about the attributes, if something is not working, I will get back here. Thanks @alexis

Did you try a condition "Member attribute values"? @Zayon

Anyone? ... No one?

I've checked with the database by command 'SELECT * FROM calendar_events' , and found the events inside! They are just not shown on the community! The difference between them and other, *normal* events, created manually, is the "event_start_date"-column, which is always "0000-00-00 00:00:00" by the Rules created events.

I've tested on several rule events, and unfortunately found out, that the Content Calendar action "Create new event" doesn't work properly. In the rule debug logs it says, that the action is evaluated, and there is even a successful result "content created". But in fact, there are no Events have been created at all When testing, I've added several tags to the Event in the action settings , and the system logs started to show the following error: The error happens when visiting the event author profile or "All activity" page. And there are still no events in Calendar created by this action @Kevin Carwile , could you please confirm, if that's a bug or not, and kindly fix it, if it is a bug? And please do not forget to fix that long-time bug in the Path alias: https://ipsguru.net/forums/topic/984-remove-slashes-feature-doesnt-work-correctly Thanks,

@Kevin Carwile how about if placing all your IPS applications and add-ons onto your current board, somewhere like here: https://ipsguru.net/files/category/4-downloads You have a downloads section on this community. Lets let others to purchase your products there!

Hello, I made a rule, I tested it and it worked, but I want to add a condition to that rule, I want to check if a member was registered until 28th October 2019, because that's the date when I wanted the users to receive the Halloween 2019 award from my community, and now that I finally get the automation rules (full), I want to automate it, I tested the rule and works fine, gives the award but gives it to all the members, not only for those who had an account on that specific date. In other words, if a guy has an account until 28th October 2019, then he gets the award but if the account was created after that date, the users are not getting the award. Thanks in Advance - Zayon

I join the question

Is there no way to purchase this plugin anymore? Highly interested in getting ahold of it as it’s exactly what I need for my community.

Hi Team! I'm trying to set up a rule that email's every twenty minutes so I can try to change the POP3 Check Frequency on G Suite (GMAIL). If anyone has any ideas on how I can accomplish this task that would be great cheers. Basically G Mail checks based on how many emails you get so I'm planning on trying to change the POP3 Frequency by emailing myself every 20 minutes for example and then on my G Mail it would just auto-hide the email etc. Cheers, My Name is Tito

I have a rule that temporaly promote users, to VIP but, I want it to show the user name that triggered that rule on Log. I know that on Action screen there's a text field called Schedule Keyphrase, how can I show the member that triggered the rule and set the variable on this field? On Action's Keypharase field it's setup like this: Removed VIP status after time period on [entity:id] Follow down my rule: Rule: Promote to VIP Event: Custom data updated: VIP Conditions: Truth Value ( vip30 is ON) Actions: Change the primary group of a member (Promote member to VIP) Update custom data: VIP30 (Demote VIP member after X days) Else Actions: Change the primary group of a member (Move member to regular group) Hope that you can help me with this and thanks for your efforts on this plugin, 'cause it's awesome!

@alexis Not the case here, because the object type is really a topic.

you can try to add another condition with "NOT" enabled in such a case like "Content is of a certain type", where you would select (select! because it is a "NOT"-condition) "Pages".

Using the code above, there is at least one case when the PM is sent when it shouldn't. With Pages, I had an articles scheduled to go live, and as soon as it went live, I received a PM telling that the topic's title was edited, but in fact what happened was that the comment topic for that article was created. This probably can be solved by adding a condition in the code above, but I have no clue about what to do.

It seems I was able to make it work with: //<?php if ($changed['title'] != '') { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; }

@alexis Ops! Event: topic was edited

@Gabriel Torres while waiting for Kevin, you may try to check these two topics: https://ipsguru.net/forums/topic/838-duplicate-title https://ipsguru.net/forums/topic/970-compare-edited-content Probably you can find there some help for your specific needs.

@Gabriel Torres what Event do you use for your rule?

Hi @Kevin Carwile I am trying to create a rule to send a private message to the topic author whenever a moderator edits the title of a topic. Here is what I have so far: Condition: "Title was edited" Actions: Send PM The problem is that the PM is being sent also when the topic is moved, etc, not only when the title is edited. So I am missing something in the "actions" part, but I really don't know what I am doing wrong in my code. Thank you in advance, Gabriel.

Hi, Is there a custom rules set in rules expansion pack to give XP in Members shop? I have seen this feature in some website and I would want to know if this can be done using the rules expansion pack. It gives rewards for logging on teamspeak once every 24 hours. If the feature can also be timed like giving experience on per hour basis I would appreciate it.
