If I can get access to either the site or a copy of the theme, I can see what I can adjust on my end if the theme developer hasn't fixed this on their end.

Michael, I can set up access for you on my site.  I assume you'll need access to the AdminCP.  Let me work on getting an account set up for you and I'll private message you the login details.  🙂

As a suggestion, could you add the option to choose which themes this is active for?

Example:  I have two themes that have their own footer system, but I'd like to enable this for the themes that do not.  It would be great if we could even just feed the plugin a comma separated list of theme ID #s that it will be shown on.

@Ziggs - Sorry to know you are facing the same issue but thank you for clearing out the probable reason for the issue. It seems like its a theme based issue.

Are you using the Dimension theme also?

If this is affecting other widgets then it might be a bigger issue with the theme itself. But if this is just affecting the Messages widget, I'll need a copy of the theme or admin login details to take a look and see what it could be.

Its just affecting different parts of the forums but not other widgets. I have sent you the login details to my ACP through private message.

@Michael.J what James101 said is accurate for me as well.  Here are a few screen shots showing what happens when Messages is activated and I am using the IPSFocus "Dimension" theme vs when I use the IPS Default theme and a semi-customized version of IPS Default. 

The latter two work just fine with Messages, so I suppose it's entirely possible this is a theme compatibility issue.

Sorry for the blur effect.  This community is somewhat political in nature and it's possible that some members might take offense if I just post screenshots with their names listed.

@Michael.J - Hi, thanks for the advice, I will look into it.

On a side note, I have a run into another issue with messages app. When enabled, some parts of the forums are narrowed down - http://prntscr.com/ukwjgs

It become proper when messages app is disabled. 

Had this happen on my 4.5 community using the IPSFocus Dimension theme.  Ended up disabling the theme and making my own, to regain compatibility with the Messages app.

This feature REALLY needs to come back.

It's insane that this feature went away somewhere along the various version releases.  😞

I just paid the $15 fee out of ignorance because I was scrapping one project and using my license to start another.  Had I realized that I could open a support ticket for this, I'd have done so.

I feel a bit chapped about this, but I'll remember it next time. 😡

This is the only thing left stopping me from upgrading...  Hopefully he releases it soon.

I am in the same boat.

No it doesn't. Invision Community only deletes accounts that are validating on registration.

I hate to bring a comment back from the dead, but by using Mail Bouncer over the years I have accumulated 42 pages of member accounts, mostly with 0-10 posts, that have failed email validation.  I would like to clean that up by deleting them, or at least deleting the oldest of them.

Any tips or tricks on how to do that?

Can't you simply filter out the forum from the default unread content stream? Do not forget to update it after you add new forums though. 

I thought that was an option but I'm not able to find it in the Admin CP.

Nevermind, I figured it out.   Had to toggle the content type in the stream, and then set the exclusions.

Hi there, no. It's a user feature. User will be able to ignore specific forums in their Account Settings. Admin can "protect" forums, so user will not be able to ignore them.

Oh.  I really need to be able to mark a forum as "ignored" and then allow the users to decide if they want to see it in their activity streams or not.

@Adriano Faria,

Am I understanding correctly that the admin can set certain forums to be ignored, by default, for everyone?   If so, I'll order immediately.

Thanks!

I had purchased this add-on a while ago but held off implementing it until now.  I am having a problem, though, where I cannot seem to get the application to display a map of the entry's location.  Google Maps is enabled on my forum and works just fine for other things.  I have added the extra "Address" field to Links Directory, but still nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I never used it so I'm not sure how can help you. If it works with it disabled (and it works!), then it should be some kind of filter, as I said here: 

If that's the case, you will have to change all occurrences of "advert", for example. But I'm simply guessing. You need to look for some kind of documentation to see what they block. Maybe they provide a log or something. 

 

No, what I was asking is if you can look around in my IPB config and make sure that I didn't screw something up in the way that I have the Classifieds app configured.

My users claim that they aren't receiving email notifications about anything related to their Classifieds ads but that they are receiving other forum emails.  I've checked and the Notification settings in the AdminCP are set to allow them to choose email as an option, and the ability to edit their settings is enabled as well.

Email on my community is distributed through SparkPost.

Any ideas?

No. This app uses the built-in email/notification class and I receive them all the time on my support board, where users test the app and report bugs. 

My users are still not receiving any email alerts from Classifieds and I switched to SendGrid and can confirm that it is delivering with a good degree of success for all other forum emails.  Adriano, could I open a trouble-ticket and provide AdminCP access to allow you to look at my settings for me?

Are you using spark post on your test board?  I'm wondering if something in spark post settings is detecting the emails sent by classified app as spam and not delivering it.  I've never tried spark post , but I did have a similar issue with mandrill sending a bulk mail once.  A word in the email subject of the bulk mail triggered some kind of spam list, and only the first couple batches of email was delivered with the rest getting sent to a black hole.

@Ziggs maybe try disabling spark post for a day and let your server directly send the emails and see if they get delivered.  I'm my experience, any time I've tried to send mail through a third party service I've had delivery issues with anything that involves selling something.  Even topic notifications for topics titled "for sale" or similar have given me problems.

 

Very good possibility. Thank you for bringing that up.  I've toggled over to Send Grid based on other feedback I've received from some of my forum-hosting colleagues and so far it seems to be sending emails.  I think you're right that the Classifieds emails were getting sent into an anti-spam black hole of some sort.

Thanks for adding the Guidelines feature to the current release!

Thank you, sir!

@Adriano Faria, as a possible suggestion:  It would be nice if we could define a text block of "Guidelines" per category that are shown when a member opens the form to submit a new advertisement. Perhaps something like this, just a text block that the forum admin could enter the contents of.

Thank you!

Does the Classifieds system provide a feature for "discussion" threads to be created automatically or is that an add-on?  I have seen a feature on a few installations where there is a button within the classified itself to go to a Discussion Topic but I don't see where that is mentioned in the description of the system here in the IPB marketplace.

Thanks!

I'm having a difficult time making the tags feature work with this. I have a defined set of tags for each category, however when entering an item in any given category, no where on the form when entering a new affiliate so I see a place to choose my tags. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
