Remove expired options redirect page?

[jilly]

I had a user complain because they were in the middle of a post, and a message popped up telling them they had options that were expiring, and then redirected them to the store so they can renew them - however this auto-redirect caused them to lose their post. Is there a way to make this a user-selectable option, or something that emails or pm's them instead, so if it pops up while they are making a post they dont lose their post?

I'll figure out a better way to expire the options.

Or just a setting that says "recieve redirect page for notice of expiring options?" yes/no for the user cp part.

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Well, that has to be changed then to expire the option as well.

If there are expiring items, they will have to expire first as well. So it's a bit more complex, but I think I could do it in time for v1.5.6

it also seems that gifts they were given by other people cause that 'option is expiring' page to pop up - which isnt too relevant and sometimes bothers them - because then they have 'lost' a gift, and dont really want to rebuy it for themselves. Seems like when an option someone else has purchased for you, like a gift, expires, it should just expire, and not pop up a page redirecting you to the list of options.

Do u have it set to expire "Give Gifts" ?

What do you mean? We have a time period on gifts - they last for 14 days - is that what you mean, or is there another option I dont know about?

[CMX_CMGSCCC]

Give Gifts is one of the 5 or so options that do not expire yet.

So setting the expires in X days for that should have no effect at this time.

I would also like to see the redirect page gone.

I've been having a different problem with it.

When the option expires it first returns a php error referring to functions.php (Sorry it was too quick to take a note of)

Then it takes me to a redirect page that isn't attached to any template. (see screenshot)

I think this is all related to this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=974179&postcount=3340)

It's annoying though as the only expiring option I use is the arcade pass so I can only test it once a week.

[doozyj]

Yes. Is there away to get rid of the redirect?

[Zachery]

Why not alert them on the next page load?

[moonclamp]

Is it right for the redirect page to have no template attached to it? Mine just appears as an all white background.

[moonclamp]

OK this is turning into a pain.

One of my users just reported the following error when her arcade pass expired:

1. Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home/moonclamp/public_html/site/forum/includes/functions.php on line 4175

This is obviously something to do with vbadvanced portal

2. She then refreshed the page and got that annoying non-templated options expired redirect message

3. Then she got a system message:
The points / store Product XML you have imported does not match the same Version number as the PHP files uploaded. Please reupload all PHP files to your forum's root folder. Then re-import the Product XML file with Allow Overwrite set to Yes.

I've read the fix for this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=113444&highlight=The+vbBux+%2F+vbPlaza+Product+XML), however I cannot understand why this should happen if I haven't done anything with the points store for several weeks.

The redirect page should be fixed in v1.5.6
