    OptimusBain got a reaction from Thomas P in inserting a HTML table in a post   
    @Daniel FI found the way to insert the module in the CKEditor under AdminCP. Thanks so much for your help! It is exactly what I needed

    I have figured it out. The width and height seems to be overwritten by global JS. Changing global setting:

    "solves" the issue. At the same time you cannot have different width in posts and YouTube fields in Pages.

    In addition to stickiness, another option (that should be brought back from 3.4.x) is the ability to collapse sections in the sidebar or the entire sidebar itself when it is visible depending on your viewport size.

    I've love to have the option to make my forums' sidebar sticky in IPS Community.
    It's a very common feature, nowadays. 😉
    Cheers!

    OptimusBain reacted to kmk in Improve shopping experience, show item added   
    Hello, one of the inconvenience is after adding a item to cart, the product page is viewed by the user, don't show the quantity added and the amount is. 
    In my use of scene, the users need to select more than one product, regularly 10 or 20 products, right now is so tricky you have to exit the product page and go to the cart notification to see which products are already added, because maybe you have to enter the store page again for more added items to cart action. 
    Could you add automation of notification in the item or product page? If we have this feature will be 100% enhanced by the shopping experience, because users just view each product, add items to cart - the info of quantity added and their amount are recorded in the item page, users don't need to go to the cart page to see which items are already added. Users just continue surfing for more products and adding more items to cart - and happy to go to checkout. 
    When the checkout is finished, the added to cart info should be removed too. In case the user has to leave the store page with the checkout unfinished, when returning to the store and checking the product item, the user will see the item is already added to the cart. I think this is so smooth shopping experience. 
    Users just have to navigate products or items and the items added to the cart (quantity and amount) are shown in the same items page.

    OptimusBain reacted to RocketSMS in Assignment of Multiple Categories   
    I wish that that it was possible to assign multiple categories to items.  This includes photos uploaded to a gallery, pages database items, and file downloads.  This would be similar to the way members can be parts of separate groups.  
    What's the benefit of allowing assignment of material to multiple categories?  I will use examples from my aviation related community.
    Gallery - Someone uploads a picture that is a beautiful aerial shot of his Grob motorglider.  He'd like to have it listed in his album, Grob gallery, and aerial photography gallery.  To do that now, he'd have to upload it 3 times.
    Pages & Files Database -- We have articles stored in a wiki format.  Someone posts an article about slow flight.  He'd like to have it listed in the safety and the training category.  He could upload it twice, but if someone corrects one copy or adds material to it, they diverge.
    I think it would make the software more flexible and powerful.
    Thanks for building a great tool.

    Apparently MailChimp also has automatic email campaigns.  So if you set up the MailChimp plugin for IPB that should handle everything you need.
    The only problem an IPB feature would solve is that Mailchimp is quite expensive for large lists.

    Yes, this is called "sequences" in hubspot, or sometimes referred to as autoresponders. Any good email marketing system should allow you to set that up. That would be nice. Might be asking too much from IPB. Just a simple newsletter system, with lists and the ability to make custom forms would be a good start.
  16. Thanks
    OptimusBain reacted to Interferon in IPB NEEDS A DECENT EMAIL MARKETING SOLUTION!   
    You also want to have the server send out one email a day after they register, another email three days later, another one seven days later, etc. to keep the customer engaged.  You just preconfigure a bunch of emails to automatically send out in scheduled intervals.  Hubspot costs big money to do this.

    OptimusBain reacted to Robert Lunte in IPB NEEDS A DECENT EMAIL MARKETING SOLUTION!   
    YES!
    That would come with any viable, real newsletter solution. I have to agree... something native would be best. It doesn't have to be SUPER fancy!  Retool the bulk mail to do the following:
    - A better editor.
    - Some templates, super basic.
    - The ability to send thousands of emails at once, not capped at 50 a minute or whatever it is... not practical.
    - Lists.
    - Contact forms that you can embed out on your IPB that will capture contact information and feed them to a list.
    - Some super basic stats and metrics.
    Thats it really... 
    I once had a plugin for a Wordpress site I owned called "MailPoet"... it was a Super simple newsletter system. Very charming ... it was super light, offered a few templates, some basic metrics, lists and you could send out thousands in one shoot without any hassles. Maybe you guys can implement the mailpoet guys.  http://www.mailpoet.com/
    BTW... in regards to the address checking services that are offered for bulk mail.. I have hassled with that over and over again and it is just a headache, doesn't quite work properly and at the end of the day... left feeling like... what is the point?
    A simple native system please.

    @Charles Any chance of getting MailChimp API integration built in for people interested in paying for the service?  We already use it for our Newsletter and being able to do transnational, and especially follow up emails for purchases, would be very handy.

    Email marketing / address management / mailing lists is a very big point for monetarizing a community and is totally missing as a full IPS native feature.
    There already are several plugin in IPS marketplace for mailchimp, sparkpost, and also for address validation checks for bulk mails via own server. Other plugins are "Newsletters" and there also exist several variants.
    But I would wish to get some IPS native features without being required to use 3rd party services.
    Maybe also a plugin to connect to the byteplant API to get rid of bad emails. -> https://www.email-validator.net/email-address-online-verification-api.html
    And it would be a great gain if one of the designers would develop some email template designs to choose from. We have so many designers for themes and skins, but no one ever touched email templates so far...

    Guys, C'mon...?!
    Why don’t you guys build your own, or integrate with some of the top email marketing solutions?  We have all these “enhanced” features that integrate with other services, but the one that seems to be the most obvious is strangely missing. IPB community owners need a proper email marketing solution! 
    With all due respect, because I love your platform other than this issue..., I don’t get how you can offer a COMMUNITY platform with, so many brilliant ways to monetize… without a proper email marketing solution available to your community owners to use.
    For that matter, why are you guys not sending out regular newsletters to your customers? That would seem to be evidence that you are totally missing the necessity for email marketing for any online community system, be it yours, or your customers. Peculiarly strange?
     
    The bulk mail system is NOT a proper email marketing system. It has limited design capabilities. It has no metrics/stats. It caps your emails out to about 200-400 a day, if you have thousands of subscribers, this is entirely impractical. It offers no ability to make forms to capture sign-ups.
     
    Do an integration with:
    - www.campaignmonitor.com
    - www.getresponse.com
    - www.mailchimp.com
    - www.mailpoet.com
    ( this is a plugin for wordpress that is SUPER light and simple. But it does everything anyone needs. It covers the basics. Something like this would be perfect ). 
    ... or build your own.
     
    Any email marketing system DOES NOT have to be fancy!... All we really need are the following features:
    - A decent design interface.
    - Metrics.
    - The ability to send out thousands of emails in one send.
    - Mailing Lists.
    - The ability to make forms that can capture sign-ups in the HTML widgets that will then go straight into a mailing list.
