Testing my own extension, I am getting a gateway timeout after 30 seconds or so when installing an extension I am working on. I know the reason: it's taking "too long" to install. I thought logic to handle this was built into the extension architecture, but maybe there is something I shoul...

No you don't need to publish a new version, just remove the folder directly in your local repo and push/commit and the folder will be removed on github. I must be doing something wrong. I removed the .idea folder from the command line. I also tried this advice: https://www.david-merrick.com/2017/08...

Thanks Rich! I thought I had a .gitignore file but I never created one! I gather I don't need a .gitignore file too. I assume I need to publish a new version for the .idea folder to be removed from the GitHub master?

Better yet, once recovered, if the storage engine is MYISAM change it to INNODB.
It's not a bad idea to do this for all similar tables.

I'm also wondering if some sort of security solution is capturing and stopping these requests because they look suspicious. In the past, 1x1 pixel call were considered sneaky. So if some sort of security solution like ModSecurity is enabled, it might be worth seeing if it is blocking these.

It appears that crons can't be turned off, just the method of how they are invoked can be changed. Notifications can be disabled but all sorts of things can hook into the cron process. When an asynchronous phpBB cron is invoked, the URL executed is something like: https://www.mydomain.com/board/app....

Is there a setting which controls if automatic cron processing is enabled? I don't recall every seeing one. If the config value of cron_lock is not 0 it is effectively disabled until the value is 0.

It sounds to me that a feature has been removed from phpBB, i.e. the whole phpBB cron process which sends out notifications based on board traffic, not on a scheduled interval. It sounds like if you want notifications or any cron process to happen you must use a system cron. On the server settings p...

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware a GET request would circumvent the issue.

The extension can be downloaded here or from the GitHub 1.0.19 release branch. If downloaded from GitHub, make sure to place the files in /ext/phpbbservices/filterbycountry. The two files are different! If you download from GitHub, you will have an unneeded .idea folder. I haven't figured out a way...

Is there a Dutch translation available somewhere?
I came across a link somewhere but that site doesn't exist anymore.

His website is down but you can contact him through his profile.

Version 1.0.19 is now available for download. Summary of changes: Fixed subtle error that caused some countries on the settings page to be selected when they were not explicitly selected. This was caused by URL encoding the country codes. Removed the duplicate 'AF' and 'AX' country codes from the co...

Side note: if you selected "Unselect all country codes" and then selected your countries, and saved the settings, the appropriate countries were saved to the database. The error is due to escaping a comma delimited list of country codes. The comma gets translated into something that is URL...

I apologize. There is a bug and its root is the encoding of a comma delimited list of country codes. It can be fixed as follows: Change /adm/style/event/acp_overall_footer_after.html , lines 7-8 from: var countryCodes = escape("{{ COUNTRY_CODES }}"); var countryCodesArray = encodeURICompon...

I have forgotten someone recently provided a German language pack translation. It was provided in June but I don't believe it's been updated so the common.php language file is probably out of date. The problem is probably there. You can test by removing it, purging the cache and using the British En...
