BTW.. I just noticed your version disclaimer.  You mention 4.3.0 FINAL. as the most recent supported version.  I'm on 4.3.2.  Not a beta release though. it was mooted as the most up to date "stable" release, as I recall...  could this be the problem?  Sorry if it is.  Like I say, it's good enough for now.

EDIT: I only installed the board on thursday.. my first time with anything this, and didn't find your application until the next day.

Just to be clear: what is the issue exactly? You can't translate text3 or is it always showing when it shouldn't?

Basically I wanted to either change that particular bit of text as it appears in the email, to give fuller instructions... or remove it all together.

I even tried commenting the code out within the loop,  and it still appeared in the email!  Most peculiar.  

No rush from my end.  I've got the email looking good enough for now, but I thought I should mention it.

Checking it I see it only shows if the invitation hasn't an expire date:

{{if \IPS\Settings::i()->is_expireinvite > 0}}
	{expression="$email->language->addToStack( 'invite_email_text2', FALSE, array( 'sprintf' => array( \IPS\DateTime::ts( $newDate|raw ) ) ) )"}
{{else}}
	{$email->language->addToStack("invite_email_text3", FALSE)}:
{{endif}}

So if you use anythinig different than Never in Invitation expires after X days setting, you will see invite_email_text2.

Is that the case?

I don't recall touching the invitation expiry settings.. according to the emailed invites, they expire in 30 days, which works for me. However the text in invite_email_text3 does appear in all of the invites.  I haven't been able to get rid of it, whatever I put in the textarea. 

EDIT: I can see and change the text in invite_email_text2 just fine.   TBH I was confused as to why it was in an if-then-else loop.. I'm no HTML expert though so I assumed I was just misunderstanding something..

Language bits: invite_email_text_user, invite_email_text2 and invite_email_text3. You can change them in ACP -> Customization -> Languages -> in the row of your language, click in the Translate button (globe) and then search for the keys above and add whatever you want in the empty textarea that will be there.

Possible bug.  The invite_email_text3 key doesn't seem to update the email output with any new text in the text area next to it.  At least for me anyway.

Other than that, all good! ?

Hi Pete. Yes, you can customize all the texts and the email template directly in your ACP.

 

Blimey.. that was quick!   Thank you!  Perfect!.

Hi Adriano,

I've just created my first private, invite only forum.  I'm using your Invite system, and so far, it's great!

Just a couple of questions / feature requests.

1.  Can I alter the text of the invitation?  I'd like to make it a bit more personal, and add some help information.  The members will mostly be fairly old,  non-technical people who need a lot of hand-holding.

2. Related to the above, I'd like to remove the second of the two buttons ( the "go to the forum" button ) in the invitation email. It's not really any use since at this stage, the invitee won't be a member yet anyway.  Or maybe make the "sign up" button much more prominent so it's clearly the correct one to click?

Many thanks!

Pete
