1. It's nice to being able to select the member groups, which shall receive the newsletter. But there should be an essential selection switch: I need it to select the members that opted in to "receive emails by admin". This is the option, which can be selected on the registration screen or in the notification settings. There are a lot countries, like in the EU, where you are not allowed to send emails, if members haven't explicitly opted in!
2. As an alternative, it could be possible to have a special "optin" option in the notification settings. But this means, that all members have to be opted out per default. And they must take individual action to optin for newsletters. Problem will be big communities with >100.000 members, that many members will newer optin. So (1.) should be better.
3. Moreover you should also be able to select to only send to members "receive emails by admin" that have been online during the last <xxx> days. Like in the IPS bulk email options.

I will add #1. #2 already exists (users can subscribe/unsubscribe from newsletters). As for #3, I'm not looking to add any kind of filters or anything similar to the bulk mail - I think if you're looking to do that, use bulk mail.

What I would like to realize is something like this newsletter structure f.e.:

• HEADER IMAGE / BANNER (individually designed)
• INDIVIDUALLY WRITTEN INTRODUCTION ("Hi xyz, this is our newsletter for christmas 2016..."
• SECTION 1 - WITH INDIVIDUAL TEXT
  Here are our newest themes from last week
  <placeholder for newest themes from last week> <- your plugin
• SECTION 2 - WITH INDIVIDUEL TEXT
  Here are our newest downloads from last week
  <placeholder for newest downloads from last week> <- your plugin
• SECTION 3 (individual advertisement, text & banner)
• FOOTER

I'm not sure if I could realize this structure with your plugin and

# use different "placeholders", and
# also multiple content elements placeholders in the same newsletter and
# have individual manually written content in between the sections (mixed contents and placeholders in sequence)

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. All yes. All do-able.

The above is what my tests look like. When you edit your newsletter, check the "Content" tab and make sure that the Template dropdown is set to the empty option.

Ok so it doesn't matter how many blocks I use. If they are set to use custom HTML, the first block is overriding them all.

I am unable to reproduce this issue. 

I'm about to push a new version to the MP, so please re-test with the latest. Maybe some of the other fixes I made have corrected this. Please confirm if this is still a problem.

A new version has been pushed to the Marketplace. Changes include:

• Dates were not parsed properly on distribution. Fixed.
• Topic format setting was not honored when posting to the forums. Fixed.
• When sending a newsletter with no custom template, the IPS email wrapper is now used.
• Truncation setting was not honored on HTML distribution. Fixed.

Note: I forgot to put the last item in the release notes, but it is fixed in this version.

It should look a little more like the regular IPS emails.

Just got this. The email preview, is this how it really looks? 

 

Looks really bad, was expecting better D:

 

Anyone got any templates I could use, that matches the IPS emails..?  

That's actually a bug. If you're not using a custom wrapper, it's supposed to use the default. I'll add it to my list. Thanks! 

Just an FYI - I probably will not have a chance to fix these issues today, but will work on them tomorrow.

Yup, works now. With Gallery image, I would prefer to see the image rather than text. I'll have a crack at using a custom template but where do I find out what elements are contained in the $item array?

It's not an array, it's an object. The elements will differ depending on the object you're working with. I would suggest looking at some of the templates in the gallery application - the object you're working with would be an image.

Another one I just discovered, my custom html for articles is overriding my custom html for gallery.

Are there any other content blocks in your newsletter, or is it just those 2?

Which of those is first - gallery or articles?

Can I change the order in which the questions appear?

Yes, you should be able to order the questions within a collection. You can just drag and drop.

Thanks for the reply. Let me know if you need me to spin up a temp test instance of my site for you to test the fix with. Otherwise happy to test for you.

I've just pushed a new version to the Marketplace. It contains fixes for both issues.

Just bought, great timing too as I got fed up of waiting for an update to the other one I was using.

I just tried to create a test newsletter and so far have only added recent gallery image as content. When I test, I get this error:

I have the following values in the footer:

*|date|* 

*|weblink|*

*|unsubscribe|*

None of them are passing the values through, they appear as the shortcode on the preview and email generated. 

Those particular values will only show up when the newsletter is actually published. They won't work in a test distribution (or a preview). That's because they are related directly to the issue, but issues aren't generated until a publish. (I hope this makes sense, let me know if I need to clarify further.)

Include custom template examples - I also use supergrid and would love to have a similar format on my newsletter but no idea where to start

I'm afraid I'm horrific at that.  But perhaps one of my customers of the previous version can share a template... you can try posting in the old support topic - https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/351114-newsletters/

Where to find this option?

When you edit the set in the ACP and you add the fields to the set, you will have an option for Field Toggles.

Thank you @Joel R for patiently working with me while I resolved this issue.

A new version is available in the Marketplace. The error above was related to status updates with links, this has been fixed.

I have a duty to protect my member's information. I am not going to hand out administrative access to my site just to get this mod working. There is nothing special about my site in terms of customization, and I only have one third-party application and it hasn't caused an issue with any other plugin or app that I've installed. If you choose to put your member's information at risk by giving administrative access away to so that people can troubleshoot their own apps then so be it, but I am not willing to take that risk. My comment about the support being lacking, was in reference to the fact that it took 10 days to get a response after I posted the error log that I was getting, and her response was that the error message was unrelated even though later she apparently updated the mod to "fix" the issue .

She said that AFTER I made my comment about wanting a refund. 

1. I asked for access on October 25. Please look back through this thread. If you had an issue with giving access, you should have said so immediately, not waited 10 days to ask me for an update... when I specifically said that I would like access.

2. I did fix the error you were getting. It is still unrelated. And why is "fix" in quotes? The error you posted was fixed. If you are putting it in quotes, you are calling me a liar. I will not tolerate people questioning my honesty or my capability.

3. I did NOT ask for access after you requested a refund. Please go back and read the thread. I asked for it WEEKS AGO. Please stop trying to make me look bad, this is just ridiculous.

I left you a one star review, and requested a refund. Your idea of support is sorely lacking. 

 

Allow me to explain the reasoning here. At this point, since I can't reproduce it, and no one else has this issue, the logical explanation here is that you have a conflicting application or plugin somewhere. Now, you have the following options:

1. You can provide me with installation files for every single application and plugin you have (yes, even if you have paid for them, and even if they are custom to your site). I would set up a duplicate environment here and see if I can reproduce the issue. (Note that the level of effort here is well beyond the normal scope of support, but whatever.)

2. You can enable/disable every plugin and application, one at a time, until you find the conflict. You would then need to provide me with the installation file for the conflicting modification.

3. You could just give me temporary access to your site (instead of proprietary files) and I can find the conflict  (likely faster than you can). You could then delete the admin account so that I could never get back in. 

In each of these, I would have to review the code to determine whose issue it is. It might be mine, or it might be the author of the conflicting modification. If it's mine, I'll fix it, but if it's not, you'd have to go back to the other developer.

The fastest and most efficient way to do this is to give me access. I have to be honest - I really don't have the time to set up an environment. If you choose to go that route, it would likely be a few days before I could get back to you. With access I could do it immediately.

A new version has been uploaded to the Marketplace. It contains the following changes:

• Field Toggles are now supported - Administrators can show/hide fields based on selected options.
• CheckboxSet fields were not working properly. Fixed.

2. There were no excluded forums. However, when I enabled the option to exclude forums, but didn't actually select any I got this error:

Interesting. I have not said I won't help you. I have not denied you support. I have tried to reproduce it and failed. If you give me any idea as to how you expect me to help you, I will gladly do so, but I really can't.

And BTW... it's actually quite common for contributors to request temporary access. Ask around, you'll see.

This is for Topic View. what I need is the look in Post View (when you post new topic)

Thanks

In the post view default for text input is:
 

Lable<br/>
Value<br/>
Description.

 

What i want is:

Lable: Value ( Description )

please tell me how to change it.

Thank you!

If you're talking about when you enter the data, that's a standard template that is used all across the suite. Changes to that would affect all forms all over the place. I would have to make a code change to allow this, but that would affect all clients.

I provided the error message that I was getting. Does that help? I am using this on an Alex 30k site, and I am not comfortable handing out administrative rights to random people on the internet. 

It doesn't help because that message is unrelated. I'll fix it of course, but that will not fix your initial problem.

Any updates on this?

You tell me. In my previous post I said that if that doesn't work, I will need to troubleshoot on your system and I asked for a PM with credentials . I have not received anything from you. 

Since I can't reproduce the error, and no one else is reporting this problem, there isn't much I can do for you without access to your site.

Hello,

I just bought and installed the app. Please tell me where to edit some layout in the Post View. I want to change the look of the field description.

Thank you

Documentation is included with the download.

1. In the ACP, go to Community -> Template System -> Sets.
2. Find the set you want to work with and choose "Views" from the dropdown on the right
3. Set "Use Default View Template" to off
4. You'll have a new Content area where you can edit the layout.

Just now, ProSkill said:

I am referring to "forums" on the same site. Other vendors some times call them "boards". 

OK. So we have new forums that work and existing forums that don't. Now we're talking. Sounds to me like something is just not configured correctly. Off the top of my head, the following are some educated guesses:

1. Is this a permissions issue? For example, are you viewing this as a guest, but the forums are not visible? You can also try disabling the "Honor Permissions" setting. To do this, login to the ACP, go to Community -> Social Stream -> Feed Actions. Click the edit icon next to "New Topics"
2. Did you accidentally exclude the existing forums? You can check this by going to the same screen (Community -> Social Stream -> Feed Actions -> New Topic -> edit) and checking the "Excluded Nodes" field. If there are any forums listed there, these will be ignored by the mod.

If neither of the above are the answer, I will need ACP credentials in order to troubleshoot this on your site directly. You can PM me with this information.

Just now, ProSkill said:

No. Hence my post for support. 

You said the widget. There is a widget and there is a page, I'm just clarifying if you were talking about one or both.

I'm also confused by the following statement:

Edit: I created a new board shortly after installing this mod. For some reason posts on the new board show up, but posts from all other existing boards don't show up. Any ideas? 

So you created a brand new SITE and it's working on the other site? Just not the original one? "all other existing boards" - how many sites do you have?

"I added the widget and it just says there is no activity to display even though there are new post". Yes.
