Question | Should I update my non-bundled addons after updating to a newer release of version 11? |
---|---|
Answer | Absolutely! Frequent changes may be made to both bundled and non-bundled addons. Bundled addons will be updated via the upgrader. For non-bundled addons, you will have to update them through the addons management screen (Admin Zone > Structure > Addons). You will be informed which ones need updated. Once version 11 reaches release candidate, we do not expect frequent updates to non-bundled addons anymore. But it is still good practice to check after every update. |
Question | Can I upgrade a version 10 site to version 11? |
---|---|
Answer | Yes, for basic non-custom v10 sites. However, expect some issues to arise in the process. And please report those issues to the tracker. For v10 sites with non-bundled addons or customisations, upgrading to v11 will likely break the site until you update the non-bundled addons or temporarily remove the customisations. We aim to have the upgrader fully functional for a large majority of types of sites and for sites using non-bundled addons by the time version 11 reaches release candidate stage. We do not recommend upgrading production v10 sites at this time until v11 reaches stable. |
Question | Can I upgrade a previous version 11 release to a newer one using the upgrader? |
---|---|
Answer | Yes (probably). Always remember especially during alpha and beta phases that things can break. Please make backups first. And let us know on the issue tracker if an issue occurs. Note: You cannot upgrade from 11 alpha to 11 beta without first upgrading to 11.alpha4 (if you are not already on 11.alpha4). |
Question | What are the current release plans for version 11? |
---|---|
Answer | As of July 22, 2024, we entered beta status where our focus is now smashing bugs and stabilising the software. All planned features have been implemented for 11.0 (and most others deferred to 11.1 or later), though we may still merge in a few minor features or tweaks. The upgrader has been tested on a typical non-custom v10 site. We will be releasing several beta versions in the beta phase. We do not know when we will be able to release the first Release Candidate or stable versions at this time. These plans are all subject to change without notice. |
Question | Why is there a separate website for version 11? |
---|---|
Answer | That is explained in detail in this news article on compo.sr including the migration plans and implications. |

Question | How does rank work in Conversr? |
---|---|
Answer | Conversr utilizes a rank system based on your accumulated rank points. As you earn points, you progress through different usergroups, unlocking new privileges and benefits. Your rank is a status symbol within the community and often grants access to exclusive features or content. This is subject to your configuration. To make a rank ladder based on points, go to Admin Zone > Security > Usergroups. You are given options regarding ranks when adding or editing a usergroup. Members can see their rank and progress on their member profile rank tab. They can also see all the rank-based benefits they unlocked and ones yet to unlock in future ranks. |

Question | Can I create a leaderboard to showcase top point earners? |
---|---|
Answer | Yes, Composr offers a leaderboard block and module to display top point holders.

This can encourage healthy competition and motivate members to earn points. Go to Admin Zone > Setup > Leader-boards to create a leader-board. |
Question | How can I modify points for members? |
---|---|
Answer | Staff members with the "Moderate members' points" privilege can directly credit or debit points from members' accounts. This can be used to reward exceptional contributions, refund purchases, or penalize rule violations. |
Question | What is the purpose of the points ledger? |
---|---|
Answer | The ledger provides a transparent and immutable record of every point transaction on the website. It ensures accountability and allows members to track their point activity. Members can view their own ledger, and with the appropriate privilege, they can also see the ledgers of others. |
