I appreciate your help Theme but it's still not working right and when you pay for something you would think the creator would support it. This has been going on for a while now good question...

knightsystems Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Having the same issues, as it shows to me that this problem is longer here and I just bought it, I will ask IPS Support for Refund, if they wont I will charge back with PayPal. Link to comment

I'm not sure if this is related, but -> I have a fresh iAwards Installation on IPS 4.1.17.1 -> I've read the setup guide and configured the first categories and test awards -> Then I tried to test award myself (the very first award ever!) -> In the IPS header, I chose "create" and then "award member", I put in all required informations, and press save -> pressing Save forwards me to mydomain.com/index.php?app=awards&module=awards&controller=ajaxcreate RESULT nginx 500 internal server error No manual awarding is possible, I asked my sysadmin to check nginx logs, but there is no problem in there. He told me to contact the software developer, what I'm doing hereby. Please help! Thanks. Link to comment

NoGi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 @-RAW- last visited September 7, 2016 @Morrigan last visited October 15, 2016 I'm not sure if they are even still working on this anymore?? A shame really as we seem to be seeing this over and over with what starts of as a great IPS4 app. Link to comment
Strikerecondo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Yes. I contacted the IPB support about the non-answering of the dev members but they don't answer either. Everybody's in holidays ? (irony inside) Edited January 10, 2017 by Strikerecondo Link to comment
Joel R Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have nothing against @-RAW- since he was great while he was still actively supporting iAwards, but I think the IPS community will need to look to Trophies and Medals by @fosters for an awards system that's actively supported: Link to comment
NoGi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 But here's the gotcha, Raw was like that in the beginning and actively supporting it and then gone. I have the same issue with a different app by a different author who was also active and now gone. Something is broken if good developers come, build and then not motivated to stay. Is there a migration path from iAwards to Trophies and Medals? Link to comment
EmpireKicking Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 we paying for something isn't supported anymore? Sucks I'm out. No more money from me Link to comment

I have the same issue with a different app by a different author who was also active and now gone. Something is broken if good developers come, build and then not motivated to stay. Such is the life of a software consumer. I mean, other than getting total custom work that has some way of being future proof -- which I assume would cost a lot of money -- I don't see any other way around the current reality that is the uncertainty of software development. You can't even rely on IPS to continue supporting their products. I think one of the reasons developers aren't motivated is the customers -- yes there are plenty of people willing to spend money but do all of those people also contribute in a substantial way to these forums? Not really. What do developers face on here? A lot of fly-by customers who often make ignorant remarks in the midst of petulant complaints, mixed in with a number of enthusiastic but often incomprehensible and impatient customers who fail to understand certain basic facts about software development and how to give feedback... all along side IPS who brought a brand new codebase without a set of top class development tools to go with it, as well as failing to supply clear and user friendly communication to non-developers about some of the realities of developing for IPS that the average person might not be aware of. Also, on top of all that, when the third-party devs do go ahead and put even more work into supporting their customers with their own sites where they can improve things in a way that is impossible on this site... what happens? They get customers blaming them rather than IPS for the currently broken state of the relationships between IPS, devs, and customers. There are clearly still good people in the IPS community from all parts but between continued development here and stable income from actual jobs (I recall RAW recently said he has two jobs at the moment), I think I'd honestly go elsewhere.

NoGi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It just seems to be more frequent on this platform or maybe that's just what I am perceiving. It doesn't bother me if a developer stops supporting their app, I just get put offside when they do this with zero communication to their paying customer base. Link to comment

It doesn't bother me if a developer stops supporting their app, I just get put offside when they do this with zero communication to their paying customer base. I don't know if it's more frequent but I do remember a lack of quality and support on other platforms before returning to IPS. Maybe other platforms are better for people who are more capable at the various technical parts of running a site? I don't know, IPS just works best for me overall. Agree that it's particularly crappy when there is no communication at all; they could have provided at the very least a couple of lines to update the status, even if it is to say that the app is currently unsupported. I would assume it's worse with Raw's products because he was such a big part of the ecosystem, therefore people are coming from a point-of-view of greater expectation. Unfortunately it can be difficult to accept 100% -> 0%, which is what it looks like here. Link to comment
Unlucky Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Anynews on if invisionpower refunded you? I have just spent alot of time on this and marketed it to our member base but if I have to switch to that other app then I will It would be great if there was an upgrade path though If you got refunded please let me know Link to comment
Strikerecondo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The problem is not about a dev who have no time to work on a project. The problem is about a non-working app, still online on the shop, with customers who spend money on a useless pile of bytes. The IPS marketplace staff support should at least deactivate the sell of this app. After 5 days, still no news from the IPS marketplace support. Link to comment
Cyboman Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Dear @-RAW- you might be on holiday/in vacation. We respect this and maybe you're anywhere out far away without internet connection. But please take notice, that a lot of customers invested in using your iAwards project and are urgently waiting for a new functional update! I, for myself, invested a big amount of money and I am totally relying on your iAwards App! I engaged a special designer that created a unique design for my community (more than 100 elements), I founded and supported an "award team" consisting of 8 team member (ready to start directly), we created dozens of pages documentations about processes and rulesets for awarding, discussed with community users about enhancements, we included the awarding mechanism in the overall company master strategy. We didn't only invest heaps of money, but also months of preparation work! I'm not sure if you can imagine the whole dimension what this means in effort and numbers... You have done such great work before. Please do not leave us alone now! We have been paying for a long time. And while you officially offer a renewal fee AND support (on IPS and also www.invisionizer.com), I consider this as an ongoing support responsibility and a business maintenance agreement. If anybody offers software, he is somehow responsible for this. Please help us or - at least - transfer your project to a development successor, who can go on developing, maintaining and supporting this great app! Otherwise the damage will be very high for your customers. Thanks! Strikerecondo 1 Link to comment
Adriano Faria Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Raw talked to me today earlier. He got some problems in his personal life and he couldn't support your resources as it should. So I will support them for a couple of months or so, until Raw got everything sorted and be able to support them again. I'm only waiting for IPS (marketplace moderator and Management) to agree to with it then I'll be supporting it. I will require a few days to learn how this app (and the others) works. In the meantime, please list the issues with it so I can take a look. Thank you. Simon Woods, ADKGamers, Chris59 and 6 others 9 Link to comment
Strikerecondo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) @Cyboman well said. thank you @Adriano Faria Vey, very good news ! Thanks for your help. For me, the first issue is that a newly created award don't keep his title and leave it blank. The award is created but without a title. So it's nearly impossible to select it when I want to award somebody. Then, when I try to award somebody by selecting the award randomly (because of the impossibility to read the title) I have this error : OutOfRangeException: (0) #0 /srv/data/web/vhosts/www.bsogames.com/htdocs/applications/awards/modules/front/awards/ajaxcreate.php(42): IPS\Patterns\_ActiveRecord::load(NULL) #1 /srv/data/web/vhosts/www.bsogames.com/htdocs/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(96): IPS\awards\modules\front\awards\_ajaxcreate->manage() #2 /srv/data/web/vhosts/www.bsogames.com/htdocs/applications/awards/modules/front/awards/ajaxcreate.php(21): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #3 /srv/data/web/vhosts/www.bsogames.com/htdocs/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(129): IPS\awards\modules\front\awards\_ajaxcreate->execute() #4 /srv/data/web/vhosts/www.bsogames.com/htdocs/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #5 {main} Again, thanks for your implication in keeping this app alive Edited January 10, 2017 by Strikerecondo Adriano Faria 1 Link to comment

That means, you can use different titles per language, just like a forum title. 1 hour ago, Strikerecondo said: So it's nearly impossible to select it when I want to award somebody.
