    How are you monetizing your forum?

    Country - it's an Australian based site. No - but then, I've never really chased any either. I've had one or two enquiries over the years, but nothing ever came of it. The global audience makes it difficult because most direct advertisers are looking for local engagement (rather than brand...

    How are you monetizing your forum?

    What works best will very much depend on your niche. My property investing based site generates six-figure revenue from advertising (both direct and programmatic) and from "business" memberships. My zoo community generates only about 10% of that amount from programmatic advertising and premium...

    What's New Digest

    Test mode only affects the emails that get sent out and has nothing to do with the built-in unsubscribe mechanism - which is what the digest emails hook into when users unsubscribe. If they are unsubscribing from genuine digest emails - then it should work - if it doesn't, there's an issue...

    Cron Jobs

    That's not what they're looking for. They are talking about unix cron tasks - which can be used to trigger the XenForo Cron tasks more efficiently.

    What's New Digest

    Receive Email Digest option changes to None when a user unsubscribes. Unsubscribing from digest emails doesn't affect "Receive news and update emails" settings unless they choose to unsubscribe from all emails. Regarding the bug report - the only user who will receive test emails is the admin...

    XF 2.3 Handling long jobs

    Anything long running should be implemented as a CLI script. $maxRunTime is set to 8 seconds by default - so use that as a guide - anything that could take longer and can't be broken up into multiple short steps - should not be run via the job system.

    I've been running MySQL 8 for years now on both my XF 2.x forums and my XF 1.5 forums!

    Looking for a logging plugin

    That basically already exists in the xf_ip table - you've got login actions (including cookie logins) and the date and IP address. It doesn't include device details though.

    What's New Digest

    That's a bad idea on a live site - setting enableMail = false does not just stop emails from being delivered until you re-enable it - it stops them from being queued at all. So any mails that are sent while enableMail is disabled, just disappear and won't ever be sent. You can either disable...

    Country registration check [Deleted]

    You don't need to download it externally - my addon handles that for you. I don't see why being on Cloud would prevent you from using it?

    My Geoblock Registration addon does this too. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/geoblock-registration.7516/

    XF 2.3 Error about jobs cron

    Activity based triggers don't work as well when the forum has low traffic - because it relies on forum activity to trigger the jobs. Are you able to set up cron tasks for your server? Server based trigger is much more reliable - especially for newer forums.

    XF 2.3 Error about jobs cron

    Is this an active forum with actual users? Or something you're using for testing?

    What are you using for "Job run trigger"? Activity based or Server based trigger?
