Add-on Update Notifier 1.1.8 Patch Level 1

[smallwheels]

Is it worth upgrading my API key again @mazzly as it just expired and I am getting the over limit message.

Mine ran out silently as I only realized when logging into the backend of my forum today and visiting the add on section. I upgraded for another year now: It's not a lot of money and a massive time saver. So even if I upgrade to the upcoming 2.4 at some point (where the functionality will be built in) totally worth it IMHO.

There has been no indication that this add on may stop working and as probably a lot of people will stay on 2.2 for quite a while there is no reason to stop it.

I upgraded for another year as well.

I upgraded for another year as well.

My self as well.

Love this addon but two persistent notices kind of drive me a little nuts. @mazzly


New posts email staff points to the wrong addon.

Should point to:


[AL] Core package is due to a version issue (corepackage addon.json) and not a problem with the addon:

It is telling me that "The callbacks for add-on updates seem to be blocked".
So I have followed the guide to set this up correctly in CF to bypass, but what do I select it to skip here? The guide didnt say. I tried to click all, but I still get the error message in ACP. (and its been a few days).

Yes, the guide here:

AUNBot | XF Addon Update Notifier

xf-addon-update-notifier.com

says to choose "Skip," but at the bottom of the guide, there’s a screenshot that shows "Allow"—although that option doesn’t actually appear.

Additionally, under "More components to skip," it’s not entirely clear whether any of the options below need to be selected.

board_url is wrong, contact mazzly for help

Super appreciate this add-on! Any way we can get a second URL allowed for Dev sites? Creates a lot of back and fourth between live and dev to test add-on updates in a dev environment.

Same situation here. The documentation needs to be updated for CloudFlare users. I tried checking only the ones you have, flushing cache and running the cron job - didn't work. I also did the same thing but checked ALL of them. Still nothing.

@mazzly Can we get updated CloudFlare documentation?

Configure XenForo 2.3 Sitemap Rebuild Frequency via Cron

Introduction

This tutorial explains how to change the default sitemap rebuild interval in XenForo 2.3, which is triggered every 3 days by a built-in cron task. To rebuild the sitemap daily, you must disable the default cron task and create a custom one with the desired frequency.

---

Prerequisites

• Advanced knowledge of XenForo

• Access to the XenForo Admin Control Panel

• Administrator privileges required

---

Procedure

• Step #1 : Disable the default sitemap rebuild cron task

• Step #2 : Create a custom cron task for sitemap rebuild

• Step #3 : Set the task to run daily

• Step #4 : Save and activate the new cron task

• Step #5 : Verify proper execution of the new cron task

---

Difficulty Level

• Step #1 : Easy

• Step #2 : Intermediate

• Step #3 : Intermediate

• Step #4 : Easy

• Step #5 : Easy

---

Advantages

• Step #1 : Prevents conflicts with default cron behavior

• Step #2 : Enables full customization of execution frequency

• Step #3 : Ensures daily sitemap updates for better indexing

• Step #4 : Easy activation of the new task

• Step #5 : Immediate confirmation of success

---

Disadvantages

• Step #1 : Risk of disabling unrelated cron tasks by mistake

• Step #2 : Requires knowledge of XenForo cron system

• Step #3 : Poor configuration may lead to excessive or rare rebuilds

• Step #4 : Improper activation may prevent execution

• Step #5 : Requires monitoring to ensure functionality

---

Step #1 Disable the default sitemap rebuild cron task

Go to the Admin Control Panel

Navigate to Tools > Cron entries

Find the task named Rebuild sitemap

Click Disable

---

Step #2 Create a custom sitemap rebuild cron task

In Tools > Cron entries, click Add Cron Entry

Fill out the fields as follows:

• Title : Daily sitemap rebuild

• Callback Class :

XF\Cron\Sitemap

• Callback Method :

triggerSitemapRebuild

---

Step #3 Set the task to run daily

Under Scheduling, set:

• Day type : Every day

• Hour : 3 (e.g. 3 AM)

• Minute : 37

Check Active

---

Step #4 Save and activate the new cron task

Click Save

Ensure the new task is listed and marked as active

---

Step #5 Verify execution of the new cron task

Locate Daily sitemap rebuild in the cron list

Click Run now to test immediately

Confirm the sitemap is rebuilt successfully

---

Tip

Always create a new cron task instead of modifying core ones. XenForo updates may reset default settings.

---

Warning

Setting the rebuild interval too frequently can impact server performance and be counterproductive for SEO.

---

Recommendation

Schedule the sitemap rebuild during off-peak hours (e.g., at night) to reduce server load and improve search engine efficiency.

---

Alternative solutions

• change sitemap cron frequency XenForo 2.3

• create new cron task XenForo 2.3

• XenForo sitemap rebuild interval

---

Useful links

• XenForo Community

• XenForo Developer Documentation

• GitHub search XenForo sitemap cron

---

Conclusion

Adjusting the sitemap rebuild schedule in XenForo 2.3 ensures timely updates for search engines. Using a custom cron task allows full control and avoids interference from system updates.
