The Admincp had a warning about News Letters being "tasked locked". Obviously an issue? Note, I receive the error: 4C124/6 lang_not_exists__videos_comments When I disable the Video application the News Letter distributions runs in tasks successfully. Odd, this wasn't a problem until last update. Edited January 11, 2019 by Christforums Link to comment
AlexWebsites Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I tested regular coded advertisements with images hosted elsewhere and it seems fine. It seems it’s only images uploaded that output all versions with bullets as I mentioned in an earlier post. @HeadStand any fix for this or some direction on what file controls this output, since the last update didn’t fix this?

HeadStand Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 On 1/10/2019 at 7:31 PM, AlexWebsites said: So just to test and make sure, I added an image into the medium slot for the advertisement so it's like so: I am doing this is a test newsletter and only have an advertisement block added. The preview shows the one image (the main image and not the smaller or medium), so it's easy to assume its working. Then when I send the test distribution, I get: If I remove the smaller and medium images and just have one and then test the distribution, I still get triplets with bullet points... Something is very funky here and the update did not fix this issue. I misunderstood the issue. Sorry about that. I will look into this either tonight or tomorrow.

Odd, this wasn't a problem until last update. This means that the video application is missing a language string, though I doubt that would cause a problem with distribution... that error would hit when you are creating the newsletter. Do you have any newsletter content configured for videos? AlexWebsites 1 Link to comment

Do you have any newsletter content configured for videos? No I do not. With the video application enabled I cannot even preview the newsletter now. Unless I disable the Video application the following errors display. I've wrote the developer for the video application and await his support. Just thought I'd run this by you too: UnderflowException: lang_not_exists__videos_comments (0) Edited January 14, 2019 by Christforums Link to comment
HeadStand Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 A new version has been uploaded to the Marketplace. Changes include: Ads that used multiple image sizes showed all available sizes. Fixed; Missing language strings in 3rd party apps threw an exception. Fixed; Cyboman and Sovereign Grace Singles 2 Link to comment

Fixed; So 3 ads are not showing anymore, which is great. I'm assuming it's using the main image and not the two additional for medium and smaller placements, correct? We still have a bullet point issue that comes up on the left with an image upload for ad: Please also check the alignment, seems uploaded image ads are centered and html added ads are left-aligned with preview and distribution. Upload images should probably align left as well. Link to comment
John T Davis Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 @HeadStand, Hello! Thanks so much for the new update. I'm seeing one odd bug right now: when a user (me) has chosen to receive plain text newsletters, the newsletter fails to send. I still get the nightly confirmation email telling me the newsletter has been sent to all subscribers. All I have to do to fix it user-side is flip the toggle back to HTML. I'm just using the built-in email sending module, not a third party add-on like SendGrid. Please let me know if you need additional information. Thanks! 😎 Link to comment

I subscribed myself to a newsletter in plain-text and I received it just fine. Are you able to preview the newsletter in plain-text? What do the newsletter logs say (when you view "Back Issues" for the newsletter, how many plain-text subscribers did it detect and how many were sent)? Link to comment

The banner image is displaying correctly. The preview is stretched out for some reason, but that's not crucial. The actual test distribution seems to align properly and without bullets. Thanks.

Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. I've tried the troubleshooting/testing items you requested. The Preview (Plain) button shows a correct plain text preview. The Test Distribution (Plain) does work. According to the Back Issues, 0 Plain-Text newsletters were sent, with 2 plain text subscribers. All HTML subscribers received emails. Please let me know if you need more info or for me to try something else. Thanks again. 😄 Edited January 25, 2019 by John T Davis missing words Link to comment

Thanks, Christian The default templates are responsive. Beyond that, I don't have any samples - I'm terrible at this kind of thing, so I gave the most bare-boned templates possible.

Andy_M Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) In case it's useful, here's a modified article template that I use that displays article pictures side by side on a wider screen, and then stacks them under each other on mobile.
