(TB) Bump Up Topics

---

This modification adds a button to bump a topic, useful to avoid useless replies with something like "bump" or "up".

 

Features

• Each group has its own options:
  • Enable/disable bump option.
  • Remove bump (same bump restrictions below apply).
  • Restrict only to specific forums or all.
  • Bump all topics or only ones the member has started.
  • Limit the number of bumps per day.
  • Set a waiting time after the last bump.
  • Set a waiting time after the last topic post.
• Secondary groups options are properly checked.
• Different icon and color to easily confirm the status visually:
  • Full star + Green color: bump option is available.
  • Empty star + Red Color: remove bump option is available.
  • Half star + Orange color: bump options will be available after some time (last post/bump limit).
  • Empty star + Orange Color: bump options are not available until next day (daily limit).
• Bumped topics appear in the activity streams.
• Bump buttons are always hidden for guests and search engines.
• If the member has a daily bump limit it will now appear when the button is enabled.
• Javascript timer in the disabled button to show how much time the members must wait.
• The topic is automatically marked as read for the member that bumps it, but not for the others!

Hello,I'm not sure this is the correct place to post this but the "Get support link" redirected me so...I tried this puglin but I have a quick question regarding the configuration. If I configure some limits (let's say 1 bump per day), then the member will be only able to do 1 bump on all the forum. Is there a way to configure apply this limit to topics? So he has 10 topics, he can bump them one per day for example. Regards,Babouline

Hello, is this version support 4.4.x?

Hello,Can this be used in Pages app for bump up records?

Hello,Can this be used in Pages app for bump up records?

 

Unfortunately that's not possible because "Pages records" works in a different way and it depends on the database configuration, too. It should be possible as a custom modification targeted specifically for it though. If you'd like open a new support request and we can discuss is there: https://community.invisionbyte.net/index.php?app=nexus&module=support

Hello! I have the latest version of IPS: Version 4.7.5 and php 8 and I installed this plugin from the marketplace and when I activate it the forum stops working and when I deactivate it then it works again, what can I do?

Do you have any solutions for this problem? Who can I talk to about support?

Looks like there was a permission issue that didn't allow members to reply to the topics in this forum. I just fixed it and merged your topic with the modification's support topic.

 

Back to your issue: Do you have any kind of error being logged by your server? A 500 error or some other kind of error maybe? Or just a blank page? In either case some kind of log should be available through FTP or in your server's error_log file or control panel.

When I activate the plugin the forum stops working and says HTTP ERROR 500 and nothing appears in the logs

[terabyte]

Hmm, that's weird. It should log at least something.

Which file are you looking in for the error? Depending on the server configuration it could be a file with a different name or just in a different folder. Or sometimes these kind of error logs are only visible in the server's control panel (or from SSH if it's available).

[03-Jan-2023 21:29:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ? d : e` is not supported. Use either `(a ? b : c) ? d : e` or `a ? b : (c ? d : e)` in /home/hidden/public_html/forum/system/Theme/Theme.php(885) : eval()'d code on line 8136

This error is giving me, but I don't know what it is, and how I should see further if you help me how to proceed.

What Invision Community version and PHP version are you using? Also, are you using a custom theme? If yes, does the same issue happen using the default theme, too?

Yes, of course I use a custom theme, and I have the latest version of IPS and the latest version of IPS uses php 8.0, the theme is made to be sure on version below 4.6 I did a search on the internet last night, but I have no idea how to change the theme to be compatible

I also installed the default theme from IPS and the plugin still doesn't work, I don't know exactly what I should do.

@CyBerNeTicK I opened a ticket for you to investigate the issue: https://invisionbyte.net/support/

 

Please reply there with the details I asked and I'll look into it directly on your site.

Hi!
I'm interested in purchasing the Bump Up Topics plugin, but I heard about a bug: When a 12-hour bump limit is set, users get the limit applied across all their topics, even if the max bumps per day is set to unlimited. As I understand it, the time limit should apply per topic, not across all topics. Can you clarify if this is a known issue and if/when it will be fixed?

[copperuta]

12 hours is just an example, it's the same for any time.

Hello @copperuta, I merged your pre-sales topic into this one (which is the modification's support topic).

 

The (TB) Bump Up Topics modification is free. No need to purchase it.

However, only the v4 version is available for now. The update for v5 will be out soon.

I was never made aware of this issue. I'll be sure to check it when I work on the new code.

[copperuta]

Hi @terabyte, thanks for your reply! I didn’t realize it’s free.

I actually need it for version 4.7.x. Do you plan to fix this for 4.7.x as well, or only for v5?

I’m not sure if I’ll use v5, since I have many applications and plugins made for 4.7.x.

[terabyte]

If I can reproduce the error, I'll most likely fix it also for the 4.7 version if it's easy enough.

If the fix is more complex and requires updating a lot of code, I might just fix it in the v5 rewrite.

 

That said, do you have more details on the settings configuration to reproduce the bug? Depending on the chosen settings (last bump limit vs last post limit) it might be working as intended rather than being a bug.

• Last bump limit => Time members must wait before bumping again.
• Last post limit => Time from the topic's last post members must wait before bumping again.

[copperuta]

You’re right, maybe “bug” isn’t the right word.

The settings were:

Daily limit: unlimited
Last bump limit: 12 hours
Last post limit: unlimited

With these settings, if a user has two topics and bumps one, they can’t bump the other for 12 hours.
This seems illogical to me, since I’d expect the 12-hour limit to apply per topic and not globally especially as the daily limit is set to unlimited.

If you want, feel free to message me I’d be happy to pay or donate for a fix or a changed version.

[terabyte]

Ah, okay. The settings take effect from top to bottom.

In this case, to make it work like you're asking, you should set:

• Last bump limit => unlimited
• Last post limit => 12 hours

[copperuta]

I don’t want the last post limit active, because that would restrict users from bumping if their last post is newer than 12 hours right?

My goal is for users to be able to bump any of their topics every 12 hours, with no other restrictions.

[terabyte]

So, to make a summary, you'd want to use this setup:

• Daily limit: unlimited
• Last bump limit: unlimited
• Last post limit: 12 hours

 

But the last post limit setting should take effect only if they haven't bumped that topic in the last 12 hours. Basically, if a post was made 1 hour later and they decide they want to bump the topic, they should be able to. Correct?
