Automation Rules

If you make your custom class into a content type and register it with IPS using the IPS Content Router extension, then it will become available to attach custom data to through rules. Otherwise, there is no easy way to add your own in.

Hi there! I'd like to know how I can add a custom content type/class to the Rules custom data fields. For example, rather than attaching a field to /ISP/Member, I'd like to attach it to /ISP/Custom. I am able to edit that custom application if it requires modifying it in some way, I'm just not sure how to go about doing that. Thanks in advance for your help!

@Kevin Carwile Thanks for the honest reply, I've just spoke to the developer we use so he can create a custom solution for us. Thanks.

It appears this new subscription feature is not compatible with the product line items hook. Right now, new features are not being added to the commerce rules extension, so you will need to seek a custom solution or figure out a way to have the subscription include a product line item as well.

@Kevin Carwile Still not working... Two peoble bought subscriptions today and the rule wasn't triggered. Any advice?

Thanks, would you happen to know what that php code might look like?

You cant do that with stock rules. You would need to use custom php code for the argument to the conent field of your "create topic comment" action. In that custom php code, you need to load the "template" topic object, retrieve its content, and return it as your argument value for the content of your posted comment.

Hi, for the moment I seem to be "alone" with that issue... But like said on my first post, I had other "new" issues since last update. So I recommend you to wait a little before upgrading... In another hand, I switched back to PHP 7.1 hopping this may "solve" something...

I would like to have an automated post made to a topic after pinning it. The content of this new post i'd like to have come from another post (saved in a templates forum) that is editable by members not having access to the ACP. I know its possible, i've seen it done elsewhere using this plugin, but I am not sure how to set it up. Thanks!

nope : no one has rights to add more than 4 users to a conversation... even moderators cannot add more than 10 users...

No, IPS did not insert some code to make rules unstable. The mystery of this one is that rules does not have any code in it which adds users to existing conversations. In other words, it could not be the cause of this. Is it possible that someone on your site or in the conversation added the additional users?

Did you read any posts from users, who have the similar issue like yours? Or are you a unique one? Seeing your unsolved issue, I fear to update my board to 4.4.* now...

Hi, @Kevin Carwile . I recently installed this wonderful Rules application in my forum (IPS 4.3.6) and can’t properly to configure my situation. My forum (mysite.com) has the Pages application installed, where there is a page at: http:// mysite.com/index.php?/page1day/. (for example) There is an introductory text like "Hello friends!": /* This is the starting and ending content. */ <div class="ipsBox ipsSpacer_bottom"> <h2 class="ipsType_sectionTitle ipsType_reset">Last news from Vimeo</h2> <div class="ipsCommonPages"> <p>Hello friends!</p> </div> </div> I need to update the content of this page every Tuesday at 9-00 am - add vimeo video. /* This content is updated at the specified time */ <div class="ipsBox ipsSpacer_bottom"> <h2 class="ipsType_sectionTitle ipsType_reset">Last news from Vimeo</h2> <div class="ipsCommonPages"> <p>Hello friends!</p> </div> </div> <div class="ipsBox ipsSpacer_bottom"> <h2 class="ipsType_sectionTitle ipsType_reset">Vimeo random movie</h2> <div class="ipsCommonPages"> <p>https://vimeo.com/330287829</p> </div> </div> and then after 2 hours turn off this video and refresh page . I tried different variants, but nothing fits. Is it possible to solve my task? If possible, help me please at least the direction in which to look ... Thanks in advance...

Reading other posts where IPS seems to not "like" your app, may it be possible IPS has inserted some "incompatible code" to make your app unstable since last update ? Before V4.4.X I never had such problems (I had others, but not so critical).

@Kevin Carwile, I think we definitely need an answer here. I know that you ignored previous topics about future of Rules, fair enough, but right now this is not a discussion about the future, but the present. If you have some ideas to get out of this gridlock, please share, if we need to look for other solutions - also please advise. The worst you can do is leave us hanging in no mans land.

Please provide me with ACP access to your site so I can have a look at your configuration.

Can you please thel it to Invision, because they say the problem is in your application... I've no custom code, the only other plug-ins that are runing are MemberMaps and SwipperSlider that does not concern private messages at all... Each time it happened I had to go through SQL to remove all users from the spreaded conversation. It is not a sustainable way to work...

Ok, but I dont see any way that this is related to rules. Unless you have some custom code at work. Rules doesnt even have an action to add users to a conversation. Only an action to create a new conversation.

Hi, Same bug is happening again : a private message has been spread to more than 100 people from the community...

Ok i'll try

Not sure how to answer that.

thanks but i'm a noob... where do i start? headache headache headache

https://ipsguru.net/documentation/points/points-php-api-get-a-member-balance-r22

Ok then, do you know the php code to get the current balance? I was thinking, if I create an action to debit points, and in the adjustment amount field, I put the php code to get the current balance... that does trick ^^ current balance - current balance = 0
