    Hey there,

    Definitely interested in this app!  A couple of questions (and perhaps ideas for future versions?):

    1. Is it possible to save campaigns to your local computer for backup (and of course reload them)?  Or would this be overkill?
    2. Is it possible to create campaigns which send emails/PMs to specific groups, etc. on specific calendar dates, e.g. Christmas, New Years, etc.?
    3. You mention a trigger for when a user makes their first post.  Can we limit a campaign to trigger on a first post for a specific forum (or even forums group)?  This could also apply to specific blogs, albums/galleries...That level of granularity would be seriously awesome...especially for me, as I have "free" and "paid" areas and would only want certain messages to go to users who posted in the free public forums (and not, say, to paid users who post in their private Club's forums - a different message for that possibly!).

    Apologies if these ideas have already been mentioned/discussed. Tanks!

    1. Only via normal database backups. Backing up and restoring the specific database tables for this application would accomplish the purpose - there is no UI to back up and restore campaigns through the AdminCP or anything like that presently.

    2. Not presently - the system is designed to "drip" content to a user after a certain action has been taken, so in this case for something like "user posts", wait 3 days, then email them and ask them to come back. What if they posted the day after Christmas? The campaign would register but do nothing until the following year.

    It's a feature that could potentially be added if there's enough demand, but it's not exactly what the software was explicitly intended to do. It might be better for something like that to add users to a mailing list and send everyone on the mailing list an email at Christmas, rather than individually add users to a drip campaign that will have to process every user individually at Christmas. It would be a lot more overhead to handle it through this route than something like a bulk mail/mailing list approach for a holiday or similar event.

    3. Presently it is not possible to filter by container.

    I'd be interested in this as a trigger as well!

    How would you have this work? As soon as a user contributes to a competition put them on the campaign? Or add all contributors for a competition when it closes?

    [...]

    Really the only way to do this would be to loop through all users. We could add optional discard filters (like, don't include anyone whose last visit was over 6 months ago or something), but really the only way to do this would be to loop over all matching users and apply the campaign. A flag could be set so that the user is only added to a given campaign once, so eventually over time the number of users to loop through would be whittled down in that case.

    I'll toy with some ideas.

  3. At this time, triggers have to be something that "happens", rather than something that "doesn't happen". In order to do what you are suggesting, the application would (likely) have to constantly loop through all users trying to determine if they haven't posted over a period of time, and then initiate the campaign if so. This would be quite taxing on a moderately-sized site, let alone a large site. There could be clever ways around this, but they'd have their own drawbacks.

  4. I don't think this could be rolled into my application, I think effectively the author's work would need to be recreated. Products added to a cart are stored in a user's session and so become unavailable to track (without custom code to do so) as soon as that user's session ends.

    I could at some point look into recreating some of the more useful features of the linked plugin though since the author is no longer around (RIP) if there's interest.

    Hi.

    Love the concept. Any chance that you might someday make it a combo: drip email + drip PM? I'm currently using 'x-days after' PM plugin, but yours would be a double whammy. Thoughts? Thx.

    Set up a step and configure it how you like to either send the email or send a PM.

    Set up another step to do the other action and choose to do it immediately rather than to wait a period of time for "Wait Period".

    I'm not seeing why this wouldn't accomplish your goal unless I'm misunderstanding?

    Hey @rebraf! Interesting turn of events. The Instagram embeds show still, but they all look like this now (see below). Wondering if that's happening to you? We are still a little ways a way from 4.6 (which includes this IG and FB embed fix) so I'd love to see if we can find an answer sooner than later haha 😆 

    Let me know what you think!

    I've found that if I'm logged into certain VPNs you get what you are seeing there. Instagram tends to block many public IP addresses (i.e. VPNs and proxies).

    If you're logged in to a VPN or proxy, try logging off of it to see if the issue persists.

    @rebraf

    By any chance does this work on 4.4.x?

    I haven't tested, but it should work on 4.4.x. If it didn't, I would be happy to correct any issues.

    What does this payed feature actually do....Display Instagram photos?

    It allows you to paste a Facebook or Instagram URL and for it to embed in posts automatically.

    What does this plug in do? 

    This plugin allows you to paste Instagram and/or Facebook links and have them embed automatically in your community. This functionality used to work out of the box, however Facebook (who also own Instagram) made changes on their end that makes this more complicated now.

    Is Facebook Login required for this to work? If not, I'd rather not add it to my site. 

    I don't believe so, however I'll follow up with you in your PM.

  9. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed
     

    Requirements

    Make sure you’ve followed the requirements on Facebook’s end. You need the developer app, but he oembed product added to it, and the app must be in “live mode”. 
     

    If you’ve checked all this and it’s still not working, please let me know what error you are getting if any. Also, check the System Logs in the AdminCP and let me know if any errors are being registered when you try to paste an appropriate Facebook or Instagram link.

    As you can see here, images have different resolution but they are properly contained in a row. So either that behavior or behavior that VORTEX666 showed here

    I'm not really clear....this is how the plugin behaves already.

    Different proportions, but contained within a row. I fear I'm missing something but I can't pinpoint what.

  11. I am under the assumption you're stating that you want all images to be equal in size and dimension? If so, that's not what this plugin intended to accomplish I'm afraid. Instead, the plugin aims to give you a masonry-style layout where images fill the available space but display in different sizes.

    The "View categories" link should show the "old style" gallery, which is the list of categories as the home page. I'm not clear what you are asking for there specifically?
