You wouldn't do this in the template, you would do this when you build your newsletter content. The download includes full documentation for this modification. Please take a look at the "Newsletter Content" section beginning on page 7. If you have further questions, feel free to PM me or post them here. Noble~ 1
Scotty Hutto Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Hello, Installed and configured Newsletters. I'm looking forward to playing with the template and getting it looking like I want. 😉 I've set it up to send all new content on a daily basis, which is what my members have asked for. I'm having two issues: 1. I must've set a switch wrong somewhere, as it does not run automatically every day. I have to go in and click "Publish" to generate a newsletter. Any ideas what I may have done wrong? I notice on the Newsletters control panel it has a red icon saying "disabled". Is that a clue to what I've messed up? 2. Although I set it for new content, on Forums where there is no new content it's listing old content (same things day after day). Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'd prefer it say "No new content" or leave that section blank or omit it if there is no new content. Thanks, Scotty

Hit "Publish" again and it went to "Enabled" and distributed automatically this morning. 🙂 2. Had the Cutoff Days set to "0" (which apparently means forever). Changed that to "1" and now I'm only getting content submitted that day. Scotty
Scotty Hutto Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Back again. Newsletter is running well! My members love it. Currently it appears by default posts are sorted in chronological order; either newest to oldest or oldest to newest. Is it possible to sort by heading, or to group all posts on a topic (thread) together? The only complaints I’ve gotten have been that it’s difficult to follow a topic on a day when we have 40-50 posts. Thanks, Scotty

Unfortunately I can't promise any development at this time - I'm significantly behind schedule with work.

Scotty Hutto Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Esther, I have been successfully using Newsletters for several weeks now. Last week I added a second “Weekly” digest in addition to my daily digest. I published and enabled it Thursday or Friday of last week and immediately began receiving reports of members getting multiple copies of the newsletter, in some cases 30-40 per day. This weekend I disabled the Weekly Digest hoping to stop the multiple copies issue, but it continues. I contacted Invision support for help in stopping the batch process, but they said the issue is Newsletters and I needed to contact you for assistance. I am getting the following error message: Locked Task: queue One of the routine maintenance tasks which run in the background has failed several times, which may indicate a configuration issue. Application/Plugin System Task queue Runs background queue tasks. Last Run 6 hours ago You should check the logs for any indication of the issue or attempt to run it manually. If the task does not run successfully and you require further assistance, please contact support. Please help! Let me know if you need ACP access. Scotty Hutto
sound Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) hi again @HeadStand just in case missed, am still waiting for a reply to pms detailing possible bugs from march 2020 another possible bug if you delete an issue of a newsletter then afterwards if you follow any links to the deleted issue rather than give a 404 the app gives an error 500 and reports Error code: 1FNNI/1 thanks Edited August 13, 2020 by sound
John T Davis Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) @HeadStand, Hello! I hope you're doing well. I just upgraded to Invision 4.5, under the mistaken impression from reading the changelog that it was a relatively minor under the hood optimization sort of update. EDIT: I would not have updated to 4.5 if the release notes had been more clear about what a major change it was. I'm now getting an ominous error when I try to interact with Newsletters in the AdminCP. Quote 2S119/1 The CSRF protection key did not match. This may indicate a plugin or theme is out of date. Please contact technical support for more information. I've never seen this before when updating a plugin. Is there something I can do on my end to try to fix it? It says it's some sort of permissions error. Did this happen to anyone else? Edited August 19, 2020 by John T Davis
HeadStand Posted August 19, 2020 Author Posted August 19, 2020 The newsletter application is not yet compatible with version 4.5. It's the next one on my list to update, but it will be a couple of days.

I saw your message from April and hope that you are doing well and things have calmed down a bit even in the midst of the current human malware crisis. I've also discovered that my newsletters are still going out as they should, and I can apparently still change the subscription settings in my user's Account Settings (not sure if those changes are effective, but will know later today). I just can't access the admin controls. Thanks again!

wegorz23 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Anything plz? We still can't update forum, because we are waiting for new version of this app. Edited August 26, 2020 by wegorz23

They kicked it back to me twice to fix some minor things to meet some of the IPS new requirements for marketplace submissions. The last time I resubmitted was Monday night. Hopefully it gets approved today?
