    [DigitalPoint] App for Cloudflare®

    I'm also interested in testing the R2 stuff - I was trying to use Backblaze B2 but ran into a few issues with the AWS adaptor. Already having Cloudflare do the caching for my site I'm happy to use them for image hosting etc. My internal_data/attachments folder is 42GB if that matters!

    Using DigitalOcean Spaces or Amazon S3 for file storage in XF 2.1+

    I have tried in vain for hours to get this working with Backblaze B2 but I am drawing a complete blank. Followed the instructions to the letter, config looks correct and thumbnails and avatars load just fine - it seems the only problem is with the full attachments. I did notice @Chromaniac had...

    Cloudflare Firewall Rule: Ban Country Codes from Registration

    This is because CloudFlare's expression builder doesn't allow you to nest what I would call an "if" statement. What you really want to do is match both URLs first in one statement, then check the country as an AND to those statements. What the current filter is doing, as explained by...

    Are you still using PHP 5.x? Why?

    @Ludachris it looks like you need to ensure the memcache extension is enabled for PHP 7.2 (they're managed on a per-version basis in WHM I believe). You can verify this on a command line with this command: /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/php -m | grep memcache If it returns nothing, it's not...

    [bd] Paygate: STRIPE

    Great addon. I have slightly modified mine to require a shipping address (I'd suggest making that an actual option in the config, as it's just a boolean). If anyone else needs to do this, edit the file library/bdPaygateStripe/Processor/Checkout.php, around line 59, just add an extra argument...

    User Upgrades by Waindigo [Deleted]

    I made a manual edit to my user_upgrades template to force users to input a shipping address (this allows me to send out membership packs). I've just installed your (excellent) add-on (along with the discount code one) and it is again not requesting a delivery address. Do you know where I can...

    Unmaintained Backing up xenForo using a shell script and crontab 1.0

    XenForo backup script Made because I hate doing this manually! You will need SSH access pigz or pbzip2 installed (if you want to use the faster, multi-core compression methods) An Amazon S3 account (and s3put installed) if you want to sync your SQL backups with AWS A little experience with the...

    Any way to regurarly backup the xenForo database?

    I didn't know you could do that. What a good idea! Thanks for the tip on pbzip2, I'll swap out pigz and use that! We've only got a Core i7 but that should still help massively :)

    Any way to regurarly backup the xenForo database?

    What are you using to prune the S3 bucket? Or is it just something you do manually? To upload the backups I use s3put, but it's getting quite full now! If anyone's interested, I updated my script to use pigz which is a multi-core implementation of gzip, and rapidly speeds up the compression...

    Just to update this thread, I just received this email from Tapatalk: Much more manageable, but will eventually cost $3,499 (albeit after 10 years!)

    XF 1.1 Backup corrupt. What are my options?

    Eeeeek. Worst nightmare confirmed today. After a server crash, one of the sites I was running seems to have not been completing its backups correctly. I have a backup that goes as far as xf_search_index and no further. All tables after that alphabetically are completely missing. I...
