    I think I will change some lang bits... like:

    Manage? It should be Categories.
    Also, not sure why it shows the category name twice in the public side:

    The cat is to display the awards, so Awards would fit better there.
    Also, is there any specific reason why it doesn't has subcategories?

    This is fixed:



    Also, changed to translateable fields. That means, you can use different titles per language, just like a forum title.
    Where do I check that? Sorry, I don't the app yet.
    Nevermind... guess I found it:

    Raw talked to me today earlier. He got some problems in his personal life and he couldn't support your resources as it should. So I will support them for a couple of months or so, until Raw got everything sorted and be able to support them again. I'm only waiting for IPS (marketplace moderator and Management) to agree to with it then I'll be supporting it.
    I will require a few days to learn how this app (and the others) works. In the meantime, please list the issues with it so I can take a look.
    Thank you.

    Such is the life of a software consumer. I mean, other than getting total custom work that has some way of being future proof -- which I assume would cost a lot of money -- I don't see any other way around the current reality that is the uncertainty of software development. You can't even rely on IPS to continue supporting their products.
    I think one of the reasons developers aren't motivated is the customers -- yes there are plenty of people willing to spend money but do all of those people also contribute in a substantial way to these forums? Not really. What do developers face on here? A lot of fly-by customers who often make ignorant remarks in the midst of petulant complaints, mixed in with a number of enthusiastic but often incomprehensible and impatient customers who fail to understand certain basic facts about software development and how to give feedback... all along side IPS who brought a brand new codebase without a set of top class development tools to go with it, as well as failing to supply clear and user friendly communication to non-developers about some of the realities of developing for IPS that the average person might not be aware of.
    Also, on top of all that, when the third-party devs do go ahead and put even more work into supporting their customers with their own sites where they can improve things in a way that is impossible on this site... what happens? They get customers blaming them rather than IPS for the currently broken state of the relationships between IPS, devs, and customers.
    There are clearly still good people in the IPS community from all parts but between continued development here and stable income from actual jobs (I recall RAW recently said he has two jobs at the moment), I think I'd honestly go elsewhere.

    Then exclude the moderator forums. I can't imagine a scenario where anyone would want to include moderator data in a public-facing newsletter... and that's the idea here, for this to be sent to a wide distribution base.
    Also, if I checked permissions on distribution, performance would be shot. This wasn't an oversight, this was something to which I gave considerable thought. Right now, I generate the issue content on publish, store it once. Then I send it out to each email in the list, in batches. Checking permissions would require almost a full rewrite of the distribution process.
    True. But for moderator forums, I would think just following the forum would be sufficient?

    I'm missing something here -- AFAIK you can't hide topics from account groups in a forum so why do you need permissions? Are you looking for a filter in the app which basically lets you choose "fill email with content available to X Group"?

    A new version has been uploaded to the marketplace. Changes include:
    Inline notifications after newsletter distribution threw an error. Fixed. Fixed several bugs related to scheduling the next distribution date. Changed scheduled task to run hourly (instead of daily) to give a more accurate publish time.

    I took the risk and went and bought it an 2 does give the full answer.
    Hi,

    I do have a question about the field description on the form, I would like to put it under the field name on the form and not underneath the field itself.
    So for example

    Field Name
    Field Description
    Text, checkbox etc... here.

    At the moment it is doing

    Field Name
    Checkbox etc...
    Field Description

    I'm really trying to stay out of it but let's just leave things clear here.
    You SPONSORED a new feature. You DID NOT pay me to do a custom job. You WERE NOT STOLEN or something! Those are really different things.
    Version 1.0.3 had 15 new features; 6 of them were sponsored by other people. In the end of the day, IT'S ME that decide if something will be added or not. Did you pay? Yes. You also were refund because I decided to NOT add it anymore. END OF STORY!
    Now, please, this is a SUPPORT topic. I would appreciate if you stop to post here, unless you have a question in the app itself or I will request moderation to make a clean here.
    Thank you.

    @Paradoxical Issue, add to your custom.css:
    [data-role="registerForm"] ul.ipsField_fieldList li{ display:inline-block; width:15em; } Will result:

    Adjust the 15 to increase or decrease the space between, which will result in number of coluns.
    Tks to @Nathan Explosion.

    In there you determine what output the form creates: topic, private message, email. You can use just one, a mix, or all three. This is where you can use the Quick Tags that are underneath the name of each form field.

    Come on, 3 months is "long time ago"?!? And it was released only to to add two features you requested.
    I have my own schedule for updating resources. If it has a bug, then I'll take a look faster, usually in same or in a couple of days. If it doesn't has, suggestions will be added (or not) in the next update. You can imagine that this isn't an easy task having 200+ resources.

    It does to me.
    Just like you, I have other +/- 800 clients here on IPS and in custom jobs. As I can't treat anyone better than the other, it DOES matter to me.
    The same way INVITE SYSTEM is important to you, it isn't for other 700 people. On the other hand, 400 of those 700 had another resource that is important... and that's how things is.

    Bad News: This app will be canceled soon.
    Good News: A new Application which will be able to handle Facebook Messenger, Slack and Skype with the same feature scope is being tested at the moment
    Everybody who bought this application will of course get a license for this new application without any additional cost.
