Add-on Update Notifier 1.1.8 Patch Level 1

[smallwheels]

Ahh that may explain why this isn't working/supported. We'll wait for the functionality as part of the main software. Thanks!

It works flawlessly for me on 2.2.16

Given how complimentary the XF team were about this add-on, I assume that they reached out to @mazzly and got agreement about borrowing the functionality.

Yep, they reached out and said that the functionality will be included by default in XF2.4, which is kind of a relief as I haven't had much time to focus on this lately.

I hope the loss of revenue won’t be too significant (from those with more than the “free tier” number of add-ons).

Nope, the amount this addon earned in a year is equivalent to what I earn in a day in my day job so.. (passive vs active income, but still)

One question: Will this add-on continue to be supported for a while for people who are still on 2.2 and 2.3?

Yep, I have no plans to discontinue this yet, but maybe in a year I might have other thoughts, depending on if there are still users (and if XF2.4 is out yet )

It should be working fine, but there might be some small bugs with XF2.3 that need ironing out. I have been crazy busy lately, and last time I found some extra time to look at this, my dev environment had broken so I wasn't able to

In XF 2.3 this is not visible:

You can disable add-on updates, but there is no icon for this.

Hi @mazzly, this is still the case. Thank you.

Will you lose money because of this?

Yep, they reached out and said that the "Add on Update notifier" functionality will be included by default in XF2.4, which is kind of a relief as I haven't had much time to focus on this lately.

It really did seem like something Xenforo LTD should have done themselves.

I hope they paid you handsomely for showing them the usefulness / demand of this type of service.
/s

It appears they paid you in compliments at least .

Did this addon "comply with known Xenforo programming standards" (as best you know) ( I dont know what it is ).

@mazzly. So will you be looking at these errors, or is that an XF problem to solve now?

Yep it is something I have to fix... Having trouble getting my dev env up and running, but once I do I'll get these things sorted for XF2.3

I'm also getting the error:

Server error log

• ErrorException: Job MaZ\AUN:CheckUpdates: [E_WARNING] Array to string conversion
• src/addons/MaZ/AUN/Job/CheckUpdates.php:76
• Generated by: Unknown account
• Dec 5, 2024 at 1:00 PM

And it doesn't update or notify me of anything anymore. I'm paying for the 60+ add-on version.

The forum I'm running with this is XF v2.2.16

Also get "The callbacks for add-on updates seem to be blocked", and hadn't changed anything, but did go through the steps to unblock with CloudFlare if that was the issue, but to no avail. Still have the message and don't get any update notifications.

Every add-on in my add-on's just shows a spinning wheel. Attached screenshot.

Everything was working perfectly for a long while previously.

Thats got to be a good feeling. I would ask that your avatar be used as bullet points in the list of add-ons that need updating

I get this board_url issue in my dev environment, which is a subdomain of my domain.

Totally understand you protecting your licenses ... Any chance we can allow 1 dev URL so we can test these updates before rolling them out?

 

[mazzly]

mazzly updated Add-on Update Notifier with a new update entry:

Fix handling of [E_WARNING] Array to string conversion

Some add-ons (unclear which, but only seems to have affected some forums) apparently have some magical addon.json format that broke the collection of add-ons for checking.

This fixed version checks that the specific addon.json values are strings (as they should be) before trying to use them, to ensure that it doesn't crash.

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[mazzly]

@Wutime @JamesBrown the latest fix should remove that error, and make version checking work again

The error went away when I upgraded PHP 8.3, but the addon still does nothing.

I'm pulling my hair out. I've done the CF firewall rule and triple checked it. I've reset my API key. Nothing seems to solve it.

Am I blacklisted on your end or something?

Shouldn't be any blocking on our side... You can disable that message in the options, updates will still automatically be checked every 6h from your forum

@mazzly : I do not have errors in the log an did get notifications about updates but happened to find this today in my list of installed add ons:



Will update to the latest version of AUN and see if this persists.

 

[ForumExplorer]

Hi it's telling me I have updates but the version it tells me to update to is the same as the version I've got.

I did notice a message on the app about Cloud flare last night when I installed this but it's vanished.

 

[Frode789]

It is telling me that "The callbacks for add-on updates seem to be blocked".
So I have followed the guide to set this up correctly in CF to bypass, but what do I select it to skip here? The guide didnt say. I tried to click all, but I still get the error message in ACP. (and its been a few days).

This is happening to me too. I realize we can disable the alert, but I like things to work properly and not just hide them.

Is it worth upgrading my API key again @mazzly as it just expired and I am getting the over limit message.
