Xen Product Manager [Deleted]

[Jake B.]

Is there any sort of a dashboard that will show some basic stats (number of sales, total income, income this month, etc)?

 

[Chris D]

No, not yet.

It is something I'm interested in adding though.

Quick question regarding charge backs and disputes. I know XPM removes the license from the user but does it also remove any data such as download records?

Do you prefer suggestions here or over on your site? I have a few that I'll be making

At XenResources I would say

They're better posted on the site as they can have their own thread, be commented on by others, and tracked.

Thought so, just making sure

Data in the download table and transaction table shouldn't be removed, no. It's not exposed on the front end, but it should stay there even if the license is deleted.

There is a small bug: XPM sends e-mails to users with the state "bounced".

For the reputation of the sending e-mail server such users should never get any e-mails sent. XenForo itself does not send e-mails to such users.

Hey @Chris D

Coupons don't seem to support decimal exact amounts or percentages.

Awesome tool, @Chris D! I just had a few pre-sales questions.

1. The "items" available in my store are going to be user groups inside of Minecraft and so naturally I would want to handle this automatically. I do have a Minecraft forum plugin which can do things in-game such as announce, handle player permissions, etc. Am I able to execute custom commands upon purchase to be able to (using the Minecraft plugin as a bridge), add the player to the user group they just purchased?
2. Assuming the above is possible, I will need a way to collect the username the user would like to modify the permissions of (to allow for gifting, etc.) What is the best recommended use of this plugin for this application?
3. If I set up a license, am I able to configure it not to expire?

Thanks,
Fox

EDIT: The first question is no longer applicable. After re-reading the documentation of the Minecraft forum plugin, it can update minecraft user groups based off of forum user groups. Fortunately, this just involves creating forum groups for each of my donation packages (which will give me access to using banners other fancy schtuff as donator perks), and to add a secondary user group (or change their primary) whenever they buy the applicable package.

This being said, I will be handling the second question differently as well. Instead of collecting a username, it might be easier to just add gift versions of each of each of the items which gives the user instructions to private message a moderator with the forum username of the recipient and the order number. The moderator would then convert-buy the rank for the user.

@Foxtrek_64 why not use the user group upgrades functionality? this is pretty advanced and Minecraft ranks don't need that

Wasn't sure if I should ask on the site or here given the forum categories at XR - is there a way to disable notifications? I didn't see anything in the options and I see the red flag stuck above the products tab and no readily apparent way to turn it off.

 

[Chris D]

Should be just in the XPM options.

Should be just in the XPM options.

Ah... "Enable navigation tab item count" - so that's what it means, lol. Thanks.

@Chris D Can a user add optional extras after initial purchase?

@Chris D Can a user add optional extras after initial purchase?

Not by themselves, they can send a manual payment at which point you can manually add the extra onto the license. There's a suggestion out there for it I believe.

Hey @Chris D, as there are already several add-ons for the XPM, I think it would be a good idea if you would add some tags to this resoucre such as „Xen Product Manager“. This could help people to find those potentially usefull add-ons...

For the reputation of the sending e-mail server such users should never get any e-mails sent. XenForo itself does not send e-mails to such users.

I just got a few more of these errors and decided to take a look. This should fix it:

In: /library/XenProduct/DataWriter/Version.php

Right above (line #185):

$bbCodeParserHtml = XenForo_BbCode_Parser::create(XenForo_BbCode_Formatter_Base::create('HtmlEmail'));

add

                            if (empty($user['email']) || $user['user_state'] != 'valid')
                            {
                                continue;
                            }

Sorry guys, I had missed that this bug was outstanding. Kept looking at the support site thinking, 'cool, no bugs!'
