@stoo2000 Any word on Amazon SES?

@fosters helped me out and it was a permissions setting on my end. Top notch support! Thanks.

I installed on v4.1.19.4 and its enabled in the application menu but I don't see it anywhere in admin panel, am I missing something? Where are the config settings?

I would be interested in a jobs board app but really what I would be looking for is a way to also show jobs from indeed using their API to supplement listings.

I am using sparkpost + IPS but am not getting multiple sends.

I'll second this. I just noticed something where pages (articles) that are configured to also post in the forum and have topic replies as comments and vice versa, just show 0 comments when you look at the article page. Would be good to disallow to hide if possible for pages app.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is about to send by schedule. What was your setting on, weekly, biweekly, monthly? Did the newsletter tasks run to update after it sent the first time?

Did it send fine before you updated IPS?

Any updates on Amazon SES/SNS?

Ok for whatever reason I decided to try and re-upload the application even though in my admin panel it stated I am running 1.0.3. After uploading the .tar over the existing application, next distribution time seems to be working better where its not the same day and it's adjusting my time by 4 hours (GMT vs EST) after I make a time setting adjustment. I think its now just a matter of understanding how the settings calculate time. There is a tricky relationship between start date, distribution cycle and what days you have checked off. For instance, for me...every 2 weeks means it goes out once every two weeks, or weekly its once every week. If I want it on Mondays and Fridays every week, I check off daily and and check off Mondays and Fridays. Now what's the difference between that and weekly and then having checked off every Monday and Friday? It's confusing, unless I'm missing something.I think I even mentioned this earlier, must be going crazy.. Now every two weeks can be confusing as well if you check off individual days because to me every two weeks equals 14 days but you could have a next distribution date in 8 days if you start the newsletter on a Saturday and check off Sunday as an option. I guess you need this if you want to send out on 2 days during the week every 2 weeks. The time settings are a bit frustrating but once you get it straight, the app does its job well. Seem to have it where the next schedule distribution is correct. I would check it after you run a newsletter for the first time and actually test it with just a small group and then add the rest to be safe...I had it send to 10k members 12 times and they all got mad, so I stopped for a while and have been testing and messing around with it.

Ok, 5 pm and it distributed again. This is after I changed the setting to weekly to test after the 4 pm send. Next scheduled distribution still says 1pm which has to be the reason. I'm guessing. Why is it not updating? I ran the two daily tasks (PruneDistributionHistory and NewsletterReminders) manually to see if the next scheduled distribution would change but it hasn't. So I guess my earlier questions have been answered. I looked in the database under ipb_newsletters_newsletters and the next run is the same as start date which is why it stays in a loop and runs every our on the hour with the task. So the question is, what is or isn't updating the next_run?

@HeadStand Before sending, does the script check the last distribution time or next? Could it be that the newsletter publish task runs every hour and sends the distribution after checking the next distribution time but distribution history gets pruned daily as do the reminders. So, your next distribution time doesn't change hourly like the publishing task. Could that be an issue? As for running with topics, could be that it looks like it, if you have tasks set to Run Automatically with Traffic (Default) instead of a cron.

Ok, since then at 1 pm, I have had it distributed again at 2 pm, 3 pm, and now 4 pm hourly. (No good) Thankfully I'm testing and only sending to admin. The setting is on Daily and Saturday is checked off. The last distribution is now 4 pm. So it sent at 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, and now 4 pm and is NOT following the last distribution time to know it already sent. I believe this should be set to weekly and as I mentioned earlier if you have daily, that is every day...no? If that's the case, then why under daily are there days to check off? I just switched to weekly and am curious if it will send out at 5 pm...will update the topic after.

I just tested and had 1 pm set for today's date in settings. It just sent at 1:02 pm EST (my server is on EST). So, it seems that the settings time is following my server time (EST) on this one and the GMT distribution time was irrelevant. In settings: Distribution times are calculated according to GMT. Time now is 04/01/2017 05:02 PM (4 hours ahead of EST). Technically if that's the case, my 1 pm in settings should have sent 4 hours ago if it was following GMT but it sent according to EST from what I can tell. This is why its a bit confusing I actually prefer it like this where it follows my time.

Thanks, I got it to send a pre-distribution now. Might have been a cron issue or time/date. I'm still confused on the time setting in the newsletter setting vs my actual and server time. I get that the Distribution times are calculated according to GMT. For instance, I have 6 pm in my settings for the newsletter but it tells me the next distribution time is 7 pm. Is that 7 pm per GMT or 7 pm per my server time? My server is EST and its 4 hours behind GMT. Just would be good if in settings everything just followed server time or there was a setting to + or - GMT time.

If you need anyone else to test Amazon SES, let me know.

This is what I use for images, you can adjust the style elements. Displaying them in an inline-block should work in most email clients. <div> <h3>{$params['title']}</h3> {{foreach $items as $item}} <div style="display: inline-block;"> {{$image = \IPS\File::get( 'gallery_Images', $item->thumb_file_name );}} <a href="{$item->url()}"> <img src="{$image->url}" style="width:100px; height:100px; margin:4px; padding:4px; border:1px solid #333;" alt="{$item->mapped( 'title' )}" title="{$item->mapped( 'title' )}"> </a> </div> {{endforeach}} </div>

How does the publish link work for the newsletter vs enabled/disabled. Is the publish link to "activate" it or is it a "send now". I created a newsletter and it's "active" but I did not hit the publish link I never got a pre-distribution email to any of the 3 admin users I have set up. Just wondering if it needs to be published. I don't recall if I hit that link and I don't want to click it again and send out.

Is there any way under Manage Newsletter Subscriptions to spread out the text and stretch it out a bit? looks like its using .ipsFieldRow_title Also, if using *|member_name|* in the email subject, is there a way to display the member name under Manage Newsletter Subscriptions? So if I have a newsletter title *|member_name|*, Weekly Newsletter, it would show the actual member name like the email topic. Or just hide *|member_name|* if used on that settings page.

Stoo, I just tried to login to your site. Are you connected to IPS because it had my updated display name. I tried to reset my password but it states its validating or something like that. I went to run the support tools on my site and got: There are some problems with your database There are some problems with your database. Normally it is safe to try to fix these problems automatically however if your community is large, you may want to run the necessary queries manually. If so, the queries to run are: ALTER TABLE `ibf_core_members` DROP INDEX `bouncer_disabled`, DROP INDEX `bouncer_warning`, DROP INDEX `bouncer_spam`;

I just purchased this app and switched back to sparkpost form Amazon SES. Amazon sent me a warning that my bounce rate is too high at 15%. If Amazon SES is added, I guess I'll switch back because they seem to have a higher deliver-ability rate. A few questions: I read above this doesn't work if you send a bulk mail, is that correct? What sparkpost setting do you have it on, all emails? Will it work if an app is sending mail using the built in IPS mail? I have one of the newsletter mods and am wondering if it will conflict.

Same here and I set up SNS to stop the emails but it's not working. Would be great to have this working with Amazon SES.

I was thinking of adding the text from a custom profile field I have for business name into the user marker hover card. Has anyone done anything like this?
