[DBTech] DragonByte Credits 7.0.0b1

Update highlights​

I'm proud to present the first Beta version of DragonByte Credits v7, a significant update for functionality and usability!

As you can see by the length of the changelog, this is a large update with many changes, though nothing should change visually for your users - the entirety of the update is concentrated on internal changes to not only make it easier to use for admins (both new and experienced), but also prepare for future updates.

Event Configuration has been updated, with events now hiding certain configuration fields that did not make sense for that particular event trigger.

Event Negation is now handled by reading the transaction log, eliminating the need for you to configure "Negation amounts" per event.

Currency Handling has been improved by eliminating the "Negative currency handling" setting, favouring a more intelligent handling that preserves the functionality of users actually receiving error messages when attempting to be charged (f.ex. buying access to a thread) if they cannot afford it.

Lastly, ground work has been laid for being able to apply certain events, such as reaction events, to more content containers than just a forum post. This functionality will be fully implemented in a future update.

Update highlights​

This version improves compatibility with future versions of XenForo by moving certain code calls out of templates. This update is recommended to avoid compatibility issues with the upcoming XenForo v2.3.8 & newer.

Furthermore, a new "Maintenance" page has been added, providing easy access to the various rebuild tasks available in this addon.

The "Post Like" and "Post Liked" event handlers are now disabled, as they no longer apply. Please make sure you use the "React" and "Reacted" event handlers instead.

Lastly, a regression from v6.1.0 has been resolved, by adding support for "Negated" transactions to the AdminCP transaction log. The front-end transaction log is unchanged as it did not suffer from this problem.

Change: Disable the "Post Like" and "Post Liked" event handlers as they are deprecated
Change: Move database query calls from templates to PHP files
Fix: Fix Negated transactions not showing in the AdminCP

Update highlights​

This version contains a significant improvement in how event negations are handled. Rather than inserting a new transaction, where possible, the existing transaction will be updated to be flagged as "negated". Primarily, this means negated events will work correctly with events that have a limit on how often they can be triggered.

Furthermore, internal changes have been made to support upcoming changes in XenForo 2.3.8.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Improved event negation
Change: XenForo 2.3.8 compatibility
Change: Apply content type to additional events
Change: Internal changes to better support the improved event negation

Update highlights​

This version primarily fixes an issue with extremely large negative numbers in events such as Taxation. Furthermore, the Daily Credits cron job has an improved activity detection so it should no longer lag behind in certain circumstances.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: Use a better method for detecting latest activity for the Daily Credits cron job
Fix: Fix an issue where extremely large negative currency values could trigger server errors

Update highlights​

This version fixes an issue where an event would crash with a server error if the event's multiplier ended up at 0, such as leaving a rating with no stars.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: Fix server error with certain actions like leaving a rating with no stars

Update highlights​

This version updates the various widgets to make better use of cached data, eliminating one query per widget.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: Reduce the query count for widgets

Update highlights​

This version changes the way credit expiry works, to avoid a scenario where the user no longer has enough credits to deduct. If negative currency handling is set to "Disallow", expiring credits will now reduce the user's balance by 0 and skip any further expiration events.

Furthermore, a few reported bugs have been resolved.

Complete Change Log​

Change: Cap credit expiry to user's max credits when negative handling is set to "Disallow"
Fix: Fix issue when disabling navbar items from the Public Navigation page
Fix: Check whether the adjust event succeeded before printing success message
Fix: Check whether the transfer event succeeded before printing success message
