Automation Rules

@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.

As I see, your products have been removed from MillerMedia website. A.Rules are also not accessible anywhere now. Too bad

i have a custom field bound to a topic in a specific forum and im checking this when the topic is posted so that if the value is below a a threshold it is automatically denied. But the custom field is always null. i've tried using raw php to compare and even then the value is null.

Hi Guys, Could someone tell me how i would create a rule that will award a user login points upto X per day?

We figured out a workaround for this via the built-in REST API, but its not very "pretty". I understand IPS has shut the door on this app via the Invision marketplace, but we still find it highly valuable. What would it take to get you/your team to flesh out more functionality for Commerce?

Thanks but i wouldn't need this plugin anyway if i was expert enough to do what you said. I tried many things but I could not. I was thinking of buying the full version, but I guess I won't. I also delete the plugin. Thanks again.

Well, it all depends on what variables are available inside the template you are putting that code in. $object is likely not even a variable within scope. Accessing rules data as an object property is only going to work if you have a reference to the object that the data is assigned to. How and where to get that reference depends entirely on the context of the available template variables.

Hello, I want to show custom data field on topic.  Data is associated with IPS/forums/topic Stored Data Type is Integer Field Display Mode is Manual Field Editing Mode is Public Use Required How can i display on topic with manual? I tried a lot but I couldn't Thank you. My data_key is priceTag. I cant find correct object. {{if $object->priceTag}} <strong>Price:</strong> {$object->priceTag} {{endif}}

No

Hi, Is there any updates since V1.4.6 ?

I have designed a rule to send a custom welcome email to new members as soon as they are validated. Problem is I need to target 5 different audience based on the selection they have made from below: Can someone here please advise on the last two things that Im stuck with: What comparison Type should I select to target the checkboxes value....? What value should I put in compared value: ID, label....? https://carnity.com/register Attaching all settings here Highlighted with the question mark is my actual doubt, as I played with few options but email aren't not triggering. Thanks in advance.

Incase someone wants to do this, here is the PHP code you need: // This works by pulling up the content of the first post of the topic you designate by ID number. // To find a topic's ID, look at the topic's URL, it's a five or six digit number // Replace the number below with your topic number $topic_number = "90"; $myvar = ""; // LINKS TO DATABSE $link = new mysqli('DB_ADDRESS', 'DB_USER', 'DB_PASS') or die('Could not connect: ' . $link->error); $link->select_db('DB_NAME') or die('Could not select database'); // PULLS TOPIC TO FIND POST ID $show_results = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM forums_topics WHERE tid='$topic_number'") or die ("Couldn't find the topic with that number"); while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($show_results)){ $topic_id = $row['topic_firstpost']; $myvar = $topic_id; } // PULLS POST CONTENT FROM POST ID $show_results2 = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM forums_posts WHERE pid='$topic_id'") or die ("Couldn't find the PID part"); while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($show_results2)){ $myvar = $row['post']; } // REMOVE nbsp TAG AND REPLACES WITH HTML FRIENDLY VERSION // This is required due to a bug with the automation return $output = str_replace("\xA0", "&#160", $myvar); return "$output";

I have a rule created with the following On a new database item created Action: Create new calendar event My issue is there is only the following fields to populate Event Container Event Author Event Title Event Content Event Tags Where do I put the event date?

return stripos($content->$content(),'http') !== FALSE; or try $search = 'http'; $search_title = stripos($content->title, $search); $search_content = stripos($content->content(), $search); if ($search_title !== FALSE || $search_content !== FALSE ) { $found = 1; } if (count($found) > 0) { return TRUE; } return FALSE;

Thanks, but developer dont anserw

I'm trying to create a rule whose condition is that the post content contains a link. I tried just setting it up to search the content for the string "http", but it never triggers. So then I tried writing a custom PHP script to do what I want, but there is a bug in it that I can't isolate -- I get no error message, the page load just crashes. Can anyone either help me figure out why the first method doesn't work, or figure out what's wrong with this PHP set up as a truth value test, "Value is TRUE"? //<?php return stripos($content->$content,'http') !== FALSE;

I personally do not think it is easy to do... But I can suggest to write a request to authors of that plugin to integrate it with Kevin's Rules. They have their website here: https://ipb.silvesterwebdesigns.com/
