I just installed this and get the following error on all links in the admin CP:
Invalid Action. Go Back.

We have the forum setup at forum.mydomain.com but use www.mydomain.com/forum/ as URL with Apache setup with ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. All other functions of the forum is working fine including vBSEO. What may be wrong?

Did you upgrade from 2.1.2 or earlier? All URLs in vBA are relative, so I don't believe the URL setup you describe should cause any issues.

If you did upgrade, the upgrade notes has the following instructions:

However, if you experience weird AdminCP navigation menu issues,
please delete the following files from your /includes/xml/ folder:

* bitfield_vbactivity.xml
* bitfield_vbactivity_pro.xml
* cpnav_vbactivity.xml
* cpnav_vbactivity_pro.xml
* hooks_vbactivity.xml
* hooks_vbactivity_pro.xml

Could you please check for the presence of those files?

Fillip

No, it was a first install. We have never used your addon before (or any of your other addons).

None of those files are present in the installation.

In that case I don't think there's anything I can do, I have no experience working with the setup you're using :(


Fillip

It doesn't work even if we access the admin CP by forum.mydomain.com or through www.mydomain.com/forum/. Shouldn't it work for forum.mydomain.com at least? Is there any checks I can do?

Have you uploaded the files to their correct folders?

i.e. you didn't accidentally upload the upload folder itself, as opposed to the contents of the upload folder?

It would help if I had the actual domain, I could check for the correct files then :)


Fillip

Yes.

They are uploaded correctly. It installed correctly also as I saw the installing progress in the admin CP. The error appeared after the install was finished and the page was redirected to the addon home page in the CP.

I will send it by PM.

Are we allowed to edit some things with it?

If you mean edit the code then sure, as long as you do not re-distribute the core product. You can distribute instructions for your edits, but not any vBActivity code :)


Fillip

Another modification which my forum users like using, I havent really used the full potential of the modification but for what I have played with I give is an 11/10

This may sound like a dumb question but how do users go about requesting and award?

As per the first post, that is a Pro-only feature :)


Fillip

Ok thanks, if i were to upgrade to the pro version would i lose all the achievements and awards and images i have already uploaded? or will they stay there?

Upgrading to Pro is seamless and no data loss occurs, as you already have the complete database structure required for the Pro version - Pro is just added code, pretty much :)


Fillip

Ok thanks for you help its much appreciated. :)

vBActivity v3.0.0:
Feature: "Reason" field can be filled out when granting awards.
Feature: Criteria / Points: Profile Completed (when all required profile fields are filled out)
Feature: It is now possible to hide vBActivity features from Guests in the postbit for SEO reasons
Change: Granting an award to a user via the "Manage Users" link now has the award pre-selected
Change: All "List" pages that display usernames now also show a miniature avatar

Majority of this release was focused on improving Activity Contests for the Pro version. More information can be found in the Complete Feature List section of the release post.


Fillip

I'm installing for the first time. It starts off fine then I'm getting an error message here:

Then it tells me this:

Any advice?

Try editing /dbtech/vbactivity/install/110.php and remove the following code:
Fillip

removing everything you quoted, correct?

Yeah that's what I said :)


Fillip

Just making sure.. sorry.

No problem :)


Fillip

Thanks for your help. It installed this time.

Good stuff :D

Btw, I just added a Hotfix for an issue where if you do not hide vBAA information from guests (via a vBOption), awards and Achievements won't display.

If you re-download the zip and re-upload /dbtech/vbactivity/hooks/postbit_display_complete.php to the similar folder on your forum, you'll get the fix without having to re-upload everything :)


Fillip

I have it installed and had a question about categories, awards, etc. Is their a readme file for this? Can you give me an example of a category, achievements, awards and such? I just want to see an example of someone who is using this mod! Thanks in advance.

And I'm sending a PM. thanks again.

You should have received a .html file called documentation.html in the .zip file you downloaded. If you open that, you'll find the full manual for this mod :)

If you didn't, or have deleted the folder already, you can view the documentation here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/docs/vbactivity/

Hi,

I just purchased the pro version for my site: www.cgmatter.com and have the following error come up when I try to use it. I installed the 'Advanced Post Thank...' first and now I am trying to install the vbActivity ...

I upload the files fine without a hickup, but then when I run the script the following happens:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

Hi Fillip,

How do I go about putting the points only and not the bars or level in the postbit?

This sounds like a fantastic mod, but probably a bit heavy for me...

I run random competitions every now and then and need something where I can award an icon to Postbit for each user who gets a place like 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place etc. Could this do what I need?

Without knowing the nature of your random competitions I cannot answer that question.

Competitions are Pro-only features, by the way.

hi

how to integrate vbseo like system in the criteria

i want to give achievement according to likes given or recieved

is that possible please?

That's not currently possible, sorry :(


Fillip

hi sir i had 2 questions

1- i want to put achivement according to points only so i choose

a- Field Points (Total)

b- Type Points

c- Comparison >=

d- Value 500

when criteria saved the type become value and not what i choose points

is that ok?




2- is there any chance when trophy come to here sound like ps3 trophy popup sound?



thanks

That's because value is the only correct option for Points (Total). It will work the way you want it to.

Unfortunately it's not feasible to be playing a sound during such events, as they are happening 100% in the background, and possibly also when the user isn't even on the forum.

Fillip

thank you Fillip for your great help

hi

when i reply i get this

and this another user


how to solve that plz?



EDIT:: sorry it is from unofficial addon integrate the vbulletin project with vbactivity after uninstall it it is solved

This is not the support thread for vBQuiz :)


Fillip
