    opentype got a reaction from SWWAP in Pages Articles Layout and Featured Articles   
    You describe correctly how it works. The categories and the feed blocks in 4.x come with only one stock template and that uses this kind of generic “forum listing” mode. Pages allows for custom templates to be created (or installed) for those sections, but that would be a custom job. There is no other “easy solution”. Maybe things change in 5.x.

    This kind of page set-up (using pages and blocks) and the content is meant for admins to design and fill. It’s not really something you could hand-over to advertisers easily. 
    It could work with a Pages database, where certain members/user-groups get the permissions to add/edit records. But that would require a custom database with a custom template.

    opentype got a reaction from SeNioR- in Mandatory checkboxes in Commerce custom fields   
    A checkbox allows for “0” and “1” and “0” is technically a valid choice. 
    By the way: the “Checkbox Set” field does work as you request it here, even if there is just one choice given. In this case, it’s “at least one field must be checked”. I use this option to create a mandatory license agreement in one of my stores.

    This would likely be coming from your PHP or SMTP configuration. We do not set anything outside of what you see there for email sending.

    What’s the use case? Why are you storing JS or CSS there to begin with? 
    It’s really only made for reusable “media” as the name suggests.

    Maybe it’s a language issue, but we are going around in circles. You are not explaining what issue you are trying to solve. Those URLs blocked by robots.txt all look fine to me. I WOULD DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if I were you.

    It sounds like you have a second language installed and there is no translation for the activated language.

    opentype got a reaction from Marc Stridgen in Can I create a group that does not receive any email?   
    Regarding bounced bulk mails, I usually just click the unsubscribe link in the returned email. This works even when logged in with my admin account and I don’t have to open the ACP at all. It might help a little.

    opentype got a reaction from Telemacus2 in Preventing File Hotlinking   
    Of course, but that wasn’t the context. Individual JPGs, PDFs in an article are very different than 1 gigabyte video. I would hide the latter behind the Downloads app, which can prevent public download links. 
    There are also not just bandwidth concerns. If someone hot-links some files from my article, at least I stay in control of that actual file and can remove it or change it again in the future. If I prevent linking, they might download the files and upload them to their own server, removing my control over the file entirely. That could be worse. There are many considerations … That’s why I asked so many questions. 
    Caching images and other resources is actually part of the free plan as well.

    opentype reacted to PalmTalk in Oversight When Manually Adding New Member   
    I was surprised to find that when I add a New Member manually (to prompt an interested party to register) that they get an email so they can complete their registration with a password and other profile information - but there is apparently no provision to have them Accept any Privacy and Terms of Use provisions - or Opt in/out in order to comply with GDPR and CPUU regulations. 
    This has to be an oversight, and one that creates potential legal liability when using the manual registration option to help those having registration problems.
    Shouldn’t be too hard to port them to the original registration page (or similar) and complete (or update) their registration/profile and Acceptance as it appears on that page already.
    Thanks for your consideration.

    opentype got a reaction from Carole Asselin in Can I find statistics for a year?   
    You have to piece this information together by going through the various parts of the statistics area.
    On some pages you can set the date range to “last year”, which will essentially show you what was going on this year if you open this page at the end of the year. 
    Some areas can only do monthly views as the longest period, so you would have to calculate the result over the year yourself.

    opentype reacted to teraßyte in email notifications slow down POST due to external smtp   
    The only "built-in solution" I can think of would be to change the constant to send notifications in the background even when there's only 1 (the default is 5). That way you can bypass the delay.
    However, if your site is very active, you'll end up with a huge list of background processes in ACP, though. Not really ideal... 🙄
     
    This is the constant you need to add to your file in case you want to give it a try:
    \define( 'NOTIFICATION_BACKGROUND_THRESHOLD', 0 );  
    Here's the guide on how to use the constants.php file if you've never used it:

    Yes. But it’s meant to hide regular HTML output, not stop scripts from running.
