Automation Rules

I just wanted to notify everyone here that after 6+ messages across different sites and platforms, Kevin finally messaged me and essentially said that there will be no further updates of any kind. I advise you all to learn from my experience (since I paid a subscription fee not too long ago) and bail on all of these apps. Kevin is not concerned with notifying anyone or suggesting anyone stop paying him for nothing, so I suggest everyone reading this make other arrangements. While life happens and people's priorities change, I find Kevin's behaviour utterly unconscionable insofar as he shafted all of his paid subscribers and didn't bother communicating this to anybody. I won't be coming back.

There should be an option to manually upload the xml/tar files of plugins and applications: When enabling the Rules, did you notice this kind of error in your ACP? 2S119/1 The CSRF protection key did not match. This may indicate a plugin or theme is out of date. Please contact technical support for more information.

Hi, Today I've tried to install the 4.5.2 version in a sandbox copy of my community. The big news is for the plug-ins updates you can only use their marketplace, knowing that Invision does not appreciate much the Rules engines (they seem to be used to say the bugs came from the rules when the plug-in is installed), it may not be updated very soon... (once I had a bug, then write to Invision support, they have sent me here telling me it was the plug-in rules fault, here I've been sent back to invision... The bug seems to have been solved "by itself" with new IPS updates (no rules updates meantime)... ) The good news is you can force the activation of the plug-in even without updating it. I've not yet tested to see if it works well (or only if it just works), but once activated there are no obvious bugs appearing...

Who knows? @Kevin Carwile doesn't seem interested in responding to the needs of his customers. I wouldn't recommend trying any of these apps with 4.5.x unless you have a test install. Quite frankly this is not inspiring confidence and as a customer I feel like I've been kicked to the curb. I have left update inquiries on every single one of Kevin's project threads and have heard nothing but crickets.

Hi guys, I've not yet tested 4.5.x. Does it means the current automatic rules version is no more compatible (at all) with this new release ?

As all of us here have paid (and have continued to pay) good money for renewing these apps, I'm disappointed that we aren't getting even a brief response with some idea as to when (if?) 4.5.x updates are happening. Some of us (myself anyway) rely on these apps for business.

I am waiting for an update as well...

@Kevin Carwile, I'm sure myself and several others here would like an update re: 4.5 compatibility (for this and your other apps), as some of us might be waiting on a major site upgrade to see when (if?) you plan to issue compatibility updates?

Hello, I'd like to know when the 4.5.x version of Rules (Full) will be released? Thanks!

@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!
