    XF 2.3 Validating data on certain events and it's performance implications

    It depends on the specific event. Sometimes it's easier to use a Class extension to hook into an event - sometimes it's easier to use one of the pre-defined code event listeners. You need to trace through the code that causes the event and identify a good spot to hook into - usually around the...

    Too many connections - bots?

    You're not the first person to complain about this recently - I also assume it is bot related. My advice - first thing to do is to ensure your database server is well tuned and has sufficient RAM allocated to allow fast queries. Slow queries can cause an increase in connections required -...

    Does XF 2.3 require a higher MySQL maxconnections setting?

    It's worth running some analytics - because if your database server is actually running slow and queries are taking a relatively long time to complete, then the thread running those queries won't be available to take on a new query and you'll need more connections to handle the load. What value...

    Does XF 2.3 require a higher MySQL maxconnections setting?

    I doubt XF 2.3 is any worse than 2.2 in this regard. It will largely come down to spikes in traffic - you're probably getting a lot more bot traffic than you have previously, I've noticed a significant increase in recent months. Either way - every connection uses a bunch of RAM - my current...

    What's New Digest

    Like I said I simply did a template modification on the MAIL_CONTAINER to match what the activity summary emails use and it worked - logo appears on all emails including the digest emails When I get a chance I will release a new version of the addon which does this without a template...

    What's New Digest

    That's just generating the phrase that shows at the top of the email. I just tested this on my dev server - used a template modification to change the MAIL_CONTAINER to add the emailPublicLogoUrl or publicLogoUrl and then manually ran the cron task to generate the digest email. The logo showed...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    I think you've misunderstood what Chris wrote - at no point did he say XenForo was being re-written to use the Laravel framework - he said they were taking lessons from other frameworks (like Laravel) to improve the developer tools and features. Not sure what you mean by "porker framework" ?

    What's New Digest

    What is the actual URL that is being rendered in the emails in both cases? The only difference in the mail sending code between the test routine and the actual digest emails is that the digest emails are sent via a Job which in turn enqueues the emails - whereas the test code sends the emails...

    XF 2.3 Local addon development [Newbie Question?]

    Why would you uninstall your addon from your development environment? More importantly: how did you uninstall / reinstall your addon? Hint: don't use the UI for addon operations in a dev environment - use the CLI.

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    Yes, this would be good. I started down this path quite a long time ago - implemented an addon which adds Monolog logging support, but in its current form it's mostly just useful for addon developers and doesn't really add much to the core itself. I do have plans to expand the functionality of...

    XF 2.4 XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

    This is fantastic - one of the big things that limited the functionality of my Unit Testing Framework for XenForo addons was the inability to automatically spin up a database with very low overheads to test functionality that involves database queries. Looks like I'm going to have quite a bit...

    It's a hosted solution - surely you'd just submit a ticket? That's why you go hosted - let someone else fix it.

    SparkPost Mail Transport for XF 2.2

    Hmm - this should not be the case for registration or password reset emails. Can you share your Email transport method settings? For example:
