Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
May 24, 20195 yr I have one other report of that, but I have no leads yet as to why this is happening. Are you hosted by IPS? What email provider are you using? It would help me to try to find a common thread. I will pm you a screenshot!
May 25, 20195 yr I don't recall but if a user visits their notification settings and un-checks to Send me news and information, the check mark for the newsletter is still on. Do they receive the newsletter still with the main setting off? It doesn't shut off the newsletter toggle. I still think having this in two different areas is misleading to users. Maybe a link under the notifications section to manage newsletters would be helpful. some don't find it right away. I find that I can shut off the IPS setting in ACP but can't under the member page do this with the newsletter(s), so I have to login as the user and visit their settings when there is a request. It's too many steps as an admin. Would be nice to have a setting under member view in ACP alongside and within the notifications settings. Edited May 25, 20195 yr by AlexWebsites

Do they receive the newsletter still with the main setting off? It doesn't shut off the newsletter toggle. What checkmark for newsletter? And no, they don't receive the newsletter if that main setting is off. Edited May 26, 20195 yr by HeadStand

May 27, 20195 yr Hi @HeadStand Two issues: 1. The *|weblink|* tag for past newsletters does not work for club newsletters (it's never worked). The unsubscribe tag does work. 2. No club newsletters were generated after May 11 2019, which according to my notes corresponded to the exact day I upgraded to Newsletter v2.1.2.

No club newsletters were generated after May 11 2019, which according to my notes corresponded to the exact day I upgraded to Newsletter v2.1.2. Did you try using the unsubscribe link? The code does display the link but when I hit it I recieved an error. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue?
May 27, 20195 yr Did you try using the unsubscribe link? The code does display the link but when I hit it I recieved an error. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue? When I tried using the unsubscribe link on another user's account when viewing the newsletter on the site, it works. It does unsubscribe and gives me the unsubscribe page. When I tried to use the unsubscribe link on the user's account when viewing the newsletter by email, I get an error. It takes me to the URL mycommunity.com/newsletters/unsubscribe/&key=*%7Cunsubscribe_key%7C*. The error is the standard "The page you requested does not exist. Error code: 1S160/2" So yes, I can confirm your error. 1. The *|weblink|* tag for past newsletters does not work for club newsletters (it's never worked). The unsubscribe tag does work. I'd like to clarify this statement after viewing the email-version of the newsletter. The link DOES display properly in email. It does NOT display on the site version.

Error code: 1S160/2" Oh, this stupid thing. Grrr. The latest 4.4 did something weird to email links. I forgot about this notification, I'll fix that. The link DOES display properly in email. It does NOT display on the site version. I was asked to remove it from the site version because people said it didn't make sense... it would only link to itself. 2. No club newsletters were generated after May 11 2019, which according to my notes corresponded to the exact day I upgraded to Newsletter v2.1.2. This one strikes me as odd. What content type(s) do you have set up in the club newsletters?
May 27, 20195 yr This one strikes me as odd. What content type(s) do you have set up in the club newsletters? It has 3 content types: forum topics, gallery albums, and download files. So, I just did some poking around: I just sent a test distribution to a test email, and it works with the latest content (eg. yesterday's content) I just clicked on Publish newsletter and the newsletter updated on the site to yesterday's content instead of May 11, but ... shouldn't it already be published?? Did v2.1.2 automatically un-publish the newsletter? Pinging @Christforums to see if that fixes it for him.

Did v2.1.2 automatically un-publish the newsletter? Pinging @Christforums to see if that fixes it for him. You know... I bet I know what it is. If I'm right, it's probably related to the publish being done through a cron job. Give me a few here, I'll take a look.
May 27, 20195 yr Author A new version has been pushed to the marketplace. Changes include: Web link and unsubscribe URLs did not always display properly in the web version. Fixed. Newsletters with calendar events did not distribute properly when being published through a cron job. Fixed. Incorrect outgoing email method was being used for CIC. Fixed.
June 19, 20195 yr Question, my one newsletter is scheduled for Sundays and I went and changed the time today to 4 hours earlier (on Sundays) and hit save. Its Tuesday and the newsletter immediately sent out. It does state the next one will go out Sunday but I was shocked that it sent out after I hit save, only to update the time on Sunday, Is this the way it is designed? How can I update the time, do it only on the day I have it scheduled?
July 4, 20195 yr Hey @HeadStand Newsletter has not been issuing for a club newsletter. I updated to version 2.1.2 on May 27th, and that was also the last day the newsletter was sent out. Please advise.
July 4, 20195 yr Also unsubscribe link doesn't work for my site. Takes people to page doesn't exists...... Sorry, there is a problem The page you requested does not exist Error code: 1S160/2 Edited July 6, 20195 yr by Christforums
July 6, 20195 yr Also unsubscribe link doesn't work for my site. Takes people to page doesn't exists...... Sorry, there is a problem The page you requested does not exist Error code: 1S160/2 @HeadStand Hi, this presents a real pain because an admin can't simply unsubscribe a member from site news letter in admincp. The admin has to login as the user and navigate to the members account settings and then under the "newsletter" menu option unsubscribe from the site newsletter distribution. That is in contrast of unsubscribing through the admincp>>members>>edit profile>>notifications>>unsubscribe is not the same newsletter so unsubscribing from it does not unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution. Hope this is worked out! William Edited July 6, 20195 yr by Christforums
July 7, 20195 yr Author Also unsubscribe link doesn't work for my site. Takes people to page doesn't exists...... I am unable to reproduce this issue. It would be helpful if you would post the link that you are being taken to. I fixed this problem a few months ago and haven't had any complaints since. Are you sure you're running the latest version? What version of IPS do you have?

G'evening HeadStand, Newsletter is v. 2.1.2 and IPS4.4.4. Lastly, I removed the unsubscribe code and reentered it, saved, and sent myself a test of the distribution and now only the raw code display with no link. Edited July 7, 20195 yr by Christforums

July 9, 20195 yr Hey @HeadStand Newsletter has not been issuing for a club newsletter. I updated to version 2.1.2 on May 27th, and that was also the last day the newsletter was sent out. Please advise. updated 3 weeks ago and just found out a weekly newletter hasn't been published since the update when try to manually publish via the acp get the following error message 1ANNC/4 This newsletter has a distribution in progress and cannot be published at this time.
July 10, 20195 yr @HeadStand I just went through a lot of troubleshooting because my registration url - mysite.com/register/ was coming up a page not found. I disabled all plugins and apps and one by one re-enabled. Got it to work again but when I re-enable your newsletter app the issue happens again. Do you have any hooks to registration in your app causing this conflict?

Oddly enough if both newsletters and babble chat are enabled, my /register/ link does not work. disable one or the other and it works fine.

Check the "Back Issues" for your newsletter and see if there is anything that is still open; if so, you can just close it from that screen. I will have an update released soon with a few fixes, I'm just not ready yet. One of those fixes will be to kill distribution automatically after X days, so that this issue can be avoided.

CodingJungle and I are looking into it together.
July 14, 20195 yr Thanks for finding this. CodingJungle and I are looking into it together. Have you found anything?
July 14, 20195 yr Have you found anything? Thanks for finding this. CodingJungle and I are looking into it together. Actually, I see he has an update on his site that may have addressed this because I wasn't on the latest version of his app. So far so good.
