[SOLVED] "Method to render XML view element attributes is not implemented " error when using CB Auto Actions

Hi Guys

Thanks for releasing the latest versions of CB Activity (3.0RC3) and CB Auto Actions (6.3)! I installed both of these on my site so as to get the blog/forum entries to show up on the timeline, but for some reason, I'm getting a "Method to render XML view element attributes is not implemented " message in the back end when I click the CB Auto Actions tab in Plug in Management. On the front end, I get a "page not found" error when trying to create a new blog with the CB Blogs model.

Everything is working OK in terms of adding the new blog if I disable CB Auto Actions, btw.

I also clicked the "internal general URL" link under CB Auto Actions, but for some reason that leads to a blank page . . .

Are there any additional settings that need to be tweaked in order for this to work?

Would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks!

Edit - I'm using Community Builder (2.0.9).

You need to install latest CB 2.x nightly. It's required for CB Auto Actions 6.3.0 and CB Activity 3.0 RC3.

Hi Kyle

Thanks for letting me know! That seems to have resolved the "create blog" issue, and new blog entries are showing up on the timeline now as well. However, the HTML itself seems to be showing up as well - please see beneath: -

[cb:parse function="trim"][cb:parse function="trim" direction="right" characters="."][cb:parse function="extract" length="300"][cb:parse function="clean" method="string"]<p>This morning ...</p>[/cb:parse][/cb:parse][/cb:parse][/cb:parse]...

That is what is showing up under the timeline area as well as the "my activities" tab under "my profile" when I create a new blog entry. I haven't tested the forum entries as yet, but will do so soon. Is this because of a special setting I need to tweak, or is this pretty much because I'm using the nightly build which has not been fully tested?

Also, what do the "internal general URL" and "internal users URL" links under CB Auto Actions (parameters) do? Just curious - not sure if I'm understanding that one correctly.

As always, thanks a ton for your assistance - much appreciated!

Edit - the forum updates show up just fine on the timeline.

There's a bug with the create blog activity system action. The format functions parameter is off when it should be on. Edit the action and under Parameters enable Format Functions. Next click Save as Copy. Now disable the system action. Your copy action should work fine for tracking the activity now. This is fixed for next release already.

They're for firing internal users and internal general triggers. An internal users action will loop every user on your site and fire the action for them. Internal general will just fire the action on an empty user object. The URLs are mostly meant for CRON to schedule actions.

Thanks for the response Kyle. Yeah, the activity is being tracked just fine now. . .

In terms of the URL's, I seem to be getting a blank page when I click "process URL" under "parameters" in CB Auto Actions. However, as you say, these are meant mostly for CRON jobs, so I suppose there is no real need to worry about it in terms of my install being buggy, etc? Just wondering. . .

The process URL is a JSON endpoint. So all you'll get is a blank page. It just executes the Internal Users or Internal General actions. There's nothing to worry about as it's not buggy or anything.
