We'll need further information to investigate this. We're investigating the issue. It seems that it's caused by another 3rd party app. Edited November 26, 2017 by Fosters Link to comment

This will be the lowest price on the file for the entire year during our Black Friday sale, and our regular price will be much higher. We did not want the app to be cheap, since we still have further development to do on it and wanted to ensure only members who can consistently support and use the app would buy it. With that said, we think there's a lot of promising value behind the app and think it's a worthwhile price to buy it while you can. We already have 6 purchases in the last 6 hours!

SJ77 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 bought it, installed it. No idea how to use it. Any instructions anywhere that I could look over? Link to comment

As I QA'ed this earlier its still quite fresh in my mind. If you go to ACP > Pages > Under the 'Page Management' section a new link is there "Feeds Importer" Click that, add a new feed then the next page gives you choices of how to display the title and content from the feed. The user/pass section when you're filling in the details usually refers to the feed itself (if its behind a protected directory or suchlike), if its a public feed you're importing leave those two box's empty. EDIT... Take a look at the 3rd, 4th and 5th screenshot in the file listing itself. Edited November 26, 2017 by AndyF Link to comment
SJ77 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks Andy, I made some progress doing just that. My issue is that I am running into needing to know how to use pages. One of the reasons I have never used pages is because I don't understand what a "database" (with regard to pages is) I don't get the articles thing, categories.. all of it Pages is the most confusing app of all. I was hoping that this app from Fosters would automate all the confusing parts for me but looks like it won't AndyF 1 Link to comment

A page is something that you put other stuff on, like editor blocks, registration blocks, and database blocks. Create a database. In the settings, choose a page (or create a new one). Databases store articles and records, which will show up on your page. SJ77 1 Link to comment
