Postloop Integration

[Ryan]

Overview:

This will allow for integration of Postloop into your forums. Postloop is a website that offers forum owners a way to get more posts in their forums, either by exchanging or by purchasing. I won't go into details about how Postloop works, but you can read more about it here. If you don't know what Postloop is, this mod will mean very little to you

In order for Postloop to operate, each participating forum must be able to report post counts back to Postloop so that it knows when a "Postlooper" makes a post. This addon sends back basic information to Postloop when asked for it. To learn more about our data collection practices, go here.

Installation:

• Upload the included /library/ folder to your XenForo root directory
• Log into your XenForo Administration Panel and click "Install Add-on" in the left-hand navigation
• Find the "Install from file on server:" text field and enter the following: library/Postloop/addon-Postloop.xml
• Click here to submit your forum to the Postloop listings

Upgrading:

• Upload the included /library/ folder to your XenForo root directory
• Log into your XenForo Administration Panel and click "List Add-ons" in the left-hand navigation
• Expand the Controls dropdown for Postloop and select Upgrade
• Find the "Upgrade from file on server:" text field and enter the following: library/Postloop/addon-Postloop.xml

Changelog:

• v1.0.2:
  • Added XenForo version number to "ping" action to better handle software upgrades and conversions on the Postloop backend
• v1.0.1:
  • Removed $test parameter from main method which was causing conflicts with other XenForo addons.
• v1.0.0:
  • Initial release

I've installed it.

Nice. Saw it on vb and was waiting for it. Thanks a lot

Can install it. Can't complete add forum form on postloop.

It says postloop.php wasn't found in the root.
It's not there, because the .zip doesn't have it. Everything's under library/

So, something about the installed addon does not work in your forums.

This: http://xenfans.com/postloop?action=ping

Should display this: http://www.postloop.com/support/postloop?action=ping

But instead, it's giving a generic exception error: "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later."

Unfortunately there's not much that I can do. We've had 15 or so other XenForo users install this addon without trouble. My guess is that you either didn't install the addon correctly or there is a conflicting addon/modification in your forums...neither of which I have any knowledge of.

The server error log doesn't mention anything ..

I've unpacked the .zip, uploaded the directory inside library/ and imported the .xml

Nothing much more I can do ..

It seems to be caused by TiagraChat (shoutbox)

An exception occurred: Declaration of Dark_TaigaChat_ControllerPublic_Index::actionIndex() should be compatible with that of Postloop_ControllerPublic_Postloop::actionIndex() in /home/xenfans/public_html/library/Dark/TaigaChat/ControllerPublic/Index.php on line 77

Roger, that's what I needed. I've submitted v1.0.1 which will fix address that issue.

 

[Floris]

Much appreciated. Giving it another go.

{"version":"2.0","connected":"true"}

edit: worked, i was able to submit site.

Updated to make things more seamless when you undergo a major XenForo upgrade, or convert to/from XenForo.

This isn't a required update.
