What do you use for outgoing mail - SMTP/SparkPost/SendGrid/? Also, can you post the contents of your footer here? I mean whatever is actually in the ACP settings.

In the ACP, go to the Newsletters screen, then choose "Subscribers" from the menu option on the right. You should see all current subscribers and you can remove anyone on the list. Ah...that's right. I was just looking under the default member section. HeadStand 1 Link to comment

I discovered the issue.. it does not work using the test button, but does work when actually sending through the distribution routine. So it was my lack of understanding of how it was designed rather than an actual error. Edit: I do wish I could format the link to something more pretty Edited November 28, 2017 by CheersnGears HeadStand 1 Link to comment

Edit: I do wish I could format the link to something more pretty Yes, that's true, it won't work with the test button. The reason for this is that the unsubscribe link is tied to an issue (not a newsletter), and the test doesn't actually generate an issue. Or rather, it doesn't SAVE the issue, so the unsubscribe link wouldn't work. For styling, you can always wrap the unsubscribe tag in a <span> with styling. Or you can put a class on the span tag and then add styling to your email template. Link to comment
AlexWebsites Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Has anyone used custom IPS ad tag code within a newsletter to insert or sell a banner ad with commerce? I am curious if it would get outputted in the newsletter, but haven't tried it. Link to comment

That's good to know. I just tried to use an IPS custom ad tag like {advertisement="newsletter_test"} within the newsletter content and a template, but it doesn't parse that. It would be good to be able to use the IPS tag so that you can incorporate the ad as a product within commerce and sell a newsletter ad placement. However, I don't think you can even use the IPS advertisement tags in default bulk mail. Link to comment
Vegan Gaymer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 PRIVATE CLUB POSTS in DIGEST We've discovered that private posts to private clubs are showing up in the daily digest. Is there a way to keep private clubs from being included in the newsletter? Or is there a way for only the members of the private club to receive those posts in their digest? Thanks! Link to comment

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. At this time I cannot distribute different versions to different members, so I guess the correct approach is to leave out club content completely. I will look into this issue and hopefully have a fix toward the end of this week. Vegan Gaymer 1 Link to comment
CheersnGears Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Is there a way to adjust the logo that gets included with the newsletter? My site logo uses a transparency but that doesn't work out as well in the newsletter. Link to comment

Templates are managed in the ACP under Community -> Newsletters -> Manage Templates. Link to comment
HeadStand Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 A new version has been uploaded to the Marketplace. Changes include: Improvements to the way that Events are displayed in the newsletter (using event dates instead of creation dates) Club content was previously included in newsletters. This issue has been fixed. (Thank you @Vegan Gaymer for reporting this) Link to comment

Joel R Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hey @HeadStand 1. Can you filter Newsletters to only be sent out to members of a certain club? 2. Can you show club-only content such as club topics, club albums, club events, etc? Link to comment

Each newsletter issue is generated once, and the same text is sent to all recipients. Although.... perhaps I should look into allowing Club Administrators to set up their own newsletters. That would be a nice addition. CheersnGears 1 Link to comment

Yes that's exactly what a member of my community requested when we looked at Clubs together. He would like to set up his own "club newsletter" just for his club content. Link to comment
sound Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 suggestions for future releases an index page eg the url /newsletters/ a simple index page which lists all current and archived newsletters links a subscribe/unsubscribe link on each newsletter page with a check first if they have the essential site admin email option on or off subscriptions when starting a newsletter instead of having a whole group as subscribers, have the option for no subscribers and members needing to opt in eg an opt in option rather than opt out Link to comment

Is there a way to prevent this? It looks like duplicate topics when sending out. I removed the redirect link to stop it but this could be an issue if you are moving a lot and leave all the redirects in place. Any fix on this? Link to comment
Adam_S Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thanks @HeadStand for adding the sorting by event date to the calendars! Thats awesome, you're awesome! I only have one thing, it seems the "cut-off" field isn't working on the calendar dates - so for example if i have 7 days entered in there, its showing more than the next 7 days of events. Is this supposed to happen or is it a bug? Link to comment

AlexWebsites Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 @HeadStand is the topic redirect getting added to the distribution something that can be fixed? If you use the feature IPS has and leave a redirect in place for the 30 days, it makes it into the topic list of the newsletter. They do not get listed in IPS topic blocks by default. Link to comment
