Bug Auto-bumps broke

[mikez006]

Starting on July 28th, new purchases for the auto-bump item no longer work. Old auto-bumps still work, but nothing purchased from July 28th.

The threads do not bump every x hrs as they should.

I think there might have been an update to my server that caused this problem.

Fillip I did not yet implement the fix for the Credit PIN problem I email you about, so that is not the cause.


This is the error I get when the auto-bump cron job runs: (im not sure why credits_vbulletin.php is used when the auto-bump cron is run)

From looking at the code, the only way this could happen is if the thread the item is configured for doesn't exist. I've made a hotfix to v3.5.2 that should prevent the error from happening and the attempted autobump should silently fail.

 

[mikez006]

Will the threads with auto-bumps purchased from today to July 28th start working? Or is this only for new auto-bump purchases?

 

[Fillip H.]

The hotfix does not change any logic related to purchases, it only deals with the server error that would occur if a non-existent thread ID was added to an autobump item.
