Has something changed in XenForo 2.1.1 which has broken this, or do I have an add-on conflict somewhere?

Nothing changed in 2.1.1 that affects this add-on.

That game posted without a problem here and I am running 2.1.1.

I don't know what add-ons you have but I don't see any listed in the stack trace. But if you have any add-ons that do something when threads are created, you might want to try disabling them to see if they might be interfering.

EDIT: EWR Porta is listed in the stack trace. If you're automatically featuring game threads, or allowing game threads to be promoted to a featured thread that could be the problem. Game threads can not be featured on the Portal.

I think i've sorted it.. I recently merged my platform sub-forums into a single Video games forum.

Although the "All" box was selected, no individual platforms were. I went through and selected them all, and the game posted ok.

The easier way would have been to uncheck "Use forum platform limiting" in the add-on options.

So if we encounter an error in future xenforo updates, will the new update come?

Ozzy47 · Nov 14, 2019

If it is a issue with the XF integration sure, but if it from the games DB end then no, no update will happen.

I'm getting an installation error:
What is the cause of the error? server or add-on?
How can I solve the problem if the error is caused by the server!.

on server (Plesk)

on local(Plesk and Cpanel)

Ozzy47 · Dec 12, 2019

Most likely because the games website is down until further notice.

MFA · Jan 8, 2020

Thegamesdb website has opened but now it is giving this error.

Ozzy47 · Jan 8, 2020

Yes, it needs an update to the new system. I might have it uploaded this weekend, depending on the weather.

due to certain family commitments, we were not able to get the latest backup as of yet. for now, we're using a READ ONLY 3 month old backup. The API is also back online, but using the prefix /v1/ which is both to get devs to explicitly make sure old data doesn't just crash their apps, but this prefix will remain as our main endpoint for this api going forward (aka once latest backup is restored)

anyone that lost access to their key, because of the backup, you can use key TMP_TEST_KEY for now, you can use it in production, but I'd recommend you dont, if you do please note, it will be disabled within a day of backup restore, so keep any eye out

When you make these changes, it can be installed right now

Ozzy47 · Jan 8, 2020

Yes, I am pretty sure that is what was done in the newest release that I still need to push out.

If it doesn't as below picture's, it doesn't create a new thread.

If you edit the following, you can create a new thread.

FYI... the key for the add-on was not lost. The key has existed for a very long time and was in their backups. So any reference to TMP_TEST_KEY isn't needed.

The only changes needed so far as the API calls go would be adding the /v1/ prefix to the calls.

And TMP_TEST_KEY should not be used in a production environment anyway. Which the add-on is in a production environment.

you can use it in production, but I'd recommend you dont, if you do please note, it will be disabled within a day of backup restore, so keep any eye out

Using it in a production environment would require a second update to remove it.

Creaky · Jan 26, 2020

Any news on the update or do we need to update ourselves?

Ozzy47 · Jan 26, 2020

I should be able to update it soon, the games DB is back up.

Ozzy47 · Jan 26, 2020

Ozzy47 updated Game Thread Starter for XenForo 2.1+ with a new update entry:

TGDb Games Thread Starter for XenForo 2.1 Update 2.1.1

Fixed: A possible SQL injection in the unlikely event theTGDB doesn't clean data before entering it in their database. Thanks to @TickTackk for the report.
