    I just dropped a message over there. Thanks! Sounds l like development might be stopped, though. I may need to come up with a plan B.

    Thanks for your work on this, @TSP! Does anyone know if it works in 4.5?
  3. John T Davis
    Excellent! Thanks, @Adriano Faria! I don't suppose anyone knows if this is 4.5 safe?

    Hello, I would like to do the following: Set up a new forum where members can post anonymously to ask questions; Allow replies (answers), where the replies are not anonymous; and Restrict anonymous posts to only this forum. Essentially I'm trying to set up a way for people to anonymously ask questions of more experienced forum members, but also encourage high quality responses by identifying whose responds. I don't believe this is built in to the base Invision Community software. Am I wrong? If not, is there a plugin I can adapt to do this? Thanks!

    @HeadStand Thanks so much for working on this update, especially in such a wild time. I saw your message from April and hope that you are doing well and things have calmed down a bit even in the midst of the current human malware crisis. I've also discovered that my newsletters are still going out as they should, and I can apparently still change the subscription settings in my user's Account Settings (not sure if those changes are effective, but will know later today). I just can't access the admin controls. Thanks again!

    Update: I did see that digest emails were sent this morning, and on first glance they appear to be working. So I cannot interact with it via the admin console, but at least it's still chugging along from what I can see. 🙂 Thanks again for your help.
  7. John T Davis
    Are there instructions for that somewhere? There must be, but I can't find them.
  8. John T Davis
    Thanks for reaching out. I hope they don't think I'm being pushy about this. I only posted here as well as on the support thread in the (vague, likely dead-end) hope I just needed to tweak something on my end. 😛 Indeed. Both my 3rd party apps/plugins were auto-disabled. I had to manually turn them back on. I've let our members know the daily digest is temporarily unstable and may or may not work, so I'm not going to worry about a full restore right now. Especially since I don't know when the last backup was taken. 🙂

    @Lindy & @Rhett: Thank you for your replies. I'll follow up with the developer and if necessary look into my restore options. Is it possible to restore to an older version without losing content posted since then? EDIT: Also, is it possible the plugin's automated tasks will still run even though I can't get at it through AdminCP, or is the new security model likely to block those as well? (I'm guessing yes.) Thanks again!

    I posted a message on the add-on's support thread earlier tonight. Could something have changed with 4.5 that might have blocked the plugin from being able to access the database? I read the release notes on the update notice that was up at the top of the screen when I logged in, and nothing seemed to indicate that sort of change, or I would have been more cautious. Perhaps I misunderstood something? Thanks for your help!

    I did not make a backup, unfortunately. I've never actually seen anything in the settings that would let me do that. Are there instructions somewhere? The good news is the update automatically disabled all my plugins. The issue popped up when I re-enabled them. This plugin manages the forum's once-a-day, full text email digest with new content, for about 450 people. I've posted up a notice that the email digest is temporarily offline due to glitch, but I'm hoping there's a way I can get it going again.

    Hello, After updating to Invision Community 4.5 when the popup appeared at the top of my forum, I'm getting an ominous error when I try to interact with one of my plugins. Is there some way I can fix this or roll back to 4.4.10? I would not have done this update if it had been more clear it might knock out critical plugins. The release notes did not suggest that at all. Thanks!
  13. John T Davis
    @HeadStand, Hello! I hope you're doing well. I just upgraded to Invision 4.5, under the mistaken impression from reading the changelog that it was a relatively minor under the hood optimization sort of update. EDIT: I would not have updated to 4.5 if the release notes had been more clear about what a major change it was. I'm now getting an ominous error when I try to interact with Newsletters in the AdminCP. I've never seen this before when updating a plugin. Is there something I can do on my end to try to fix it? It says it's some sort of permissions error. Did this happen to anyone else?
  14. John T Davis
    @Adriano Faria, is this version 4.4 compatible?
  15. John T Davis
    Just wanted to verify that you're referring to Version 1.2.3, and I didn't miss an update somewhere. Thanks!
  16. John T Davis
    @HeadStand, Good morning. I am indeed listed as a subscriber when I choose Subscribers under the triangle menu. I switched it back to HTML and it is working as expected again. Odd...
  17. John T Davis
    Hello, @HeadStand, Thanks for your reply. Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. I've tried the troubleshooting/testing items you requested. The Preview (Plain) button shows a correct plain text preview. The Test Distribution (Plain) does work. According to the Back Issues, 0 Plain-Text newsletters were sent, with 2 plain text subscribers. All HTML subscribers received emails. Please let me know if you need more info or for me to try something else. Thanks again. 😄

    @HeadStand, Hello! Thanks so much for the new update. I'm seeing one odd bug right now: when a user (me) has chosen to receive plain text newsletters, the newsletter fails to send. I still get the nightly confirmation email telling me the newsletter has been sent to all subscribers. All I have to do to fix it user-side is flip the toggle back to HTML. I'm just using the built-in email sending module, not a third party add-on like SendGrid. Please let me know if you need additional information. Thanks! 😎
  19. John T Davis
    Thank you for your reply. 🙂 I'm just using the default mail sending features built into IPS right now. I'm not really familiar with SendGrid. I would be extremely surprised if the entire forum ever routinely broke 50 posts a day--though that might happen a few times a year during events. We've got almost 400 members, and in the 4 months the forum has been open our busiest day saw 27 posts. So, about 15 posts a day on average?

    @HeadStand, Hello. I hope you are doing well. I'm not sure if a notification properly fired off for the above message, so I decided to quote it again. Have a great evening.
  21. John T Davis
    @HeadStand, Hello. Thanks for the clarifications. I wanted to confirm that the app can't display reply text. I think I may have misunderstood your reply to my original question back on August 3, included below with question highlighted. You replied on August 3: Unfortunately, I really need the ability to include replies in full text--that was motivation for my purchase of this module. My users want to be able to see all the messages in a given topic thread for the last 24 hours in their daily email. Is the custom modification technically feasible, or does the API not allow access to full threads? Thanks again.
  22. John T Davis
    @HeadStand, Hello! When adding a "Forum" content block, what's the intended difference between "Recent Content" and "Recently Updated Content?" I'm thinking if I want the newsletter to feature all content from the last 24 hours, including both new posts and replies to existing posts, I should be using Recently Updated Content, with a cutoff of 1 day. Is that correct? EDIT: Right now I'm just getting the first message from each thread with an indication of the number of replies displayed. I need to be able to pull in the actual full text of the replies.
  23. John T Davis
    Subscribing with my gigantic member ID values is now working perfectly. Thanks!
  24. John T Davis
    Sorry to create more work for you. ? Invision had to make some changes to the core database as well to account for our member numbers being in the trillions. I think some of those changes were included in the latest IPS update.
  25. John T Davis
    Thanks for this info. I had set up a tiny test group (just me) and was trying to get Newsletters sent to that before I blasted everyone. I wanted to make sure everything was working first as far as formatting and content. I'm opted in to receive emails, as well. I've gone ahead and switched it to Opt-In mode. Now that this has made me stop and think about it, I think I like this configuration better than mailing new members by default. I see the Newsletters tab on my profile's settings page, and I tried to opt-in. However, I now get this error: We initially imported member info from our previous platform (Yahoo Groups), which accounts for my bizarrely high member ID number. I'm not sure what the PRIMARY key is in this context.
