Hey,

I need to handle +10.000k receivers.
I try to find a solution that fits for every needs.
Therefore i would suggest to push the sendings to a queue.

Hi,
In addition to my previous issue (to use the right mail template for the right language), is it possible to make some "categories" for subscribers ?
With that, we can make a newsletter with the right language for the right people.

Thanks

Hi,

In the backend of your plugin i'm getting the next JS error:

Uncaught Error: Trigger action is not specified in storm-min.js?v306:2882

Current build: 306
Great plugin by the way 👍

Hi .
Im created a page with " category.htm" name in cms pages to display categories and list of posts there .
and add url = "/category/:slug?/:page?" to the head of this page .
After that i add related components to this page like " categories and show posts " .
I 've been showing all the things I wanted right now. ‌But the problem is that I want to click on every category, just show me the posts inside that category. But now all posts are represented in one place .
In fact :slug? nothing plays a role in filtering the news for that.

When emailing an newsletter, Microsoft Outlook ignores height/width of an image.

Common:

October: 289
News pluign: 1.2.6

I've updated the plugin and since then my post list simply claims that there are no posts and when I access a post that worked flawless before, it now suddenly doesn't load. So far I can't really figure out where the issue is...

Did something change that need to be adapted on my end? Any ideas why it suddenly doesn't work anymore?

Post list code

<ul class="post-list">
    {% for post in posts %}
    <li>
        <img class="img-responsive col-xs-2 col-md-3" src="{{ post.image|media }}" alt="{{ post.title }}">
        <h4><a href="news/{{ post.slug }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h4>
        <p class="date">{{ post.published_at|date('Y-m-d H:m') }}</p>

        {% if post.introductory %}
        <p class="introductory">{{ post.introductory|raw }}</p>
        {% else %}
        <div class="content">{{ post.content|raw }}</div>
        {% endif %}
    </li>
    {% else %}
    <li class="no-data">{{ noPostsMessage }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

{% if posts.lastPage > 1 %}
    <ul class="pagination">
        {% if posts.currentPage > 1 %}
            <li><a href="{{ this.page.baseFileName|page({ (pageParam): (posts.currentPage-1) }) }}">&larr; Prev</a></li>
        {% endif %}

        {% for page in 1..posts.lastPage %}
            <li class="{{ posts.currentPage == page ? 'active' : null }}">
                <a href="{{ this.page.baseFileName|page({ (pageParam): page }) }}">{{ page }}</a>
            </li>
        {% endfor %}

        {% if posts.lastPage > posts.currentPage %}
            <li><a href="{{ this.page.baseFileName|page({ (pageParam): (posts.currentPage+1) }) }}">Next &rarr;</a></li>
        {% endif %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}

Post code

{% partial "title" %}

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-12">
            <h4 class="headline"><span>{{ post.title }}</span></h4>
            <div class="post">
                <p class="post-info">Posted on {{ post.published_at|date('Y-m-d H:m') }}</p>
                <img class="img-responsive col-xs-12 col-sm-4" src="{{ post.image|media }}">
                <div class="post-content">{{ post.content|raw }}</div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

URL

domain.com/news/title

I am click on button "send newsletter", the system is sending the post to everyone subscriber without respect the category of the post.

For instance, I have created a post and selected the category "customers". When I click the button "send newsletter", the system is send the post to every subscriber, and I thought the system should send only to the subscriber related to category "customer".

Please, extend default editor toolbar. Sometimes it is necessary to change the font size and other parameters.
/models/posts/fields.yaml
example:

tabs:
    fields:
...
        content:
            tab: indikator.news::lang.form.content
            type: richeditor
            size: giant
            toolbarButtons: fullscreen|bold|italic|underline|subscript|superscript|fontFamily|fontSize|color|inlineStyle|paragraphStyle|paragraphFormat|align|formatOL|formatUL|outdent|indent|quote|insertHR|insertLink|insertImage|insertVideo|insertAudio|insertFile|insertTable|undo|redo|clearFormatting|selectAll|html

See how convenient it is:

Hi,
Many thanks for your useful and great job !
To count how many Posts are in a Category with a simple {{ category.posts.count() }}, it would be useful to add this in your Categories model :
public $hasMany = [ 'posts' => [ 'Indikator\News\Models\Posts', 'key' => 'category_id', ], ];
For example, this information could be added in a badge class span in bootstrap...

Since this plugin supports just a single category for each posts (which I strongly encourage) I think it makes sense for us to add tags!

Hi, everyone!

It would be like to have ability to create several feeds for show on different pages.

Hi. Thanks for the great plugin!
I have a question.
In the edit subscriber form there is a hint below categories checkboxes with text "If no category is selected then the subscriber will receive the all newsletters." But when I have a new activated subscriber and no category selected newsletters is not sending to this subscriber. If any category selected everything works as expected.
Looks like the problem is in NewsSender.php:

        if (Categories::count() > 0) {
            $activeSubscribers = $this->news->category->subscribers()->isSubscribed();
        }

Hi,

please, can you add support for categories? Thank you

I have a simple issue but cant find any solutions . i want to display a category that post are into .
i use {{ post.category }} but it wont work and shows a row af sql log like this :
{"id":1,"name":"New Category","slug":"new-category","content":"<p>test content<\/p>","image":"","hidden":"2","status":"1","sort_order":"1","created_at":"2018-01-27 18:24:29","updated_at":"2018-01-27 18:24:29"}
What can i do to display my post category in post page ?

I've recently noticed that the pagination as provided by the default posts component doesn't work (anymore?). I just copy and pasted that into my partial page.
The pagination boxes seem to be generated correctly, however the links are just pointing to the root of the website.

Am I doing something wrong or is this indeed broken?

Hello!

this code in Posts model causes error in Translate plugin:

public $translatable = [ 'title', ['slug', 'index' => true], 'introductory', 'content' ];

because you use ['slug', 'index' => true] translate/Plugin.php gets error on line 237 trying to flip array

$translatable = array_flip($model->translatable);

I just commented ['slug', 'index' => true], because I don't need different slugs for languages

I just installed the Newsletter Plugin. And when i drag and drop add the component post list to the editor and save it works fine. As soon as i command click the component and it expands and later i click save it gives an exception error. Below is the error i get.

We're sorry, but an unhandled error occurred. Please see the details below.

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection' does not have a method 'posts'").

Hi, after an update to 1.10.0, I've started to see the php errors about a wrong index of the $url array. It seems that the 5th element of the url doesn't exist on the new post page.

The related lines:

PHP: 7.1.19
OC build: 437

I know this may be slightly off topic, but I am having problems with the queue. When I first add my cron job, it seems to work fine. However, subsequent calls produce this error:

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)

I use your plugin for my website to show some news on the landing page.
But i have some problems with the translation of the plugin. The problem is that translation isn't working. No matter what language is selected the news are displayed in the main language.
Every other plugin works fine with translation.

I changed the content for every language with this translation icon:

October Build: 316
Version of OC-news: 1.3.9

Maybe published_at should be set beforeSave() to now() if status = 1?
Otherwise I doesn't imagine which can be the voluntary use of status = 1 && published_at = null

Hello,

1. your pre-made form not working / the button subscription do nothings
2. on Enter it make an ajax error and nothink is save

have you some solutions ?

Thanks

Hi, I've encountered another bug, OC won't save me an updated post, because field named postinfo doesn't exist in the news_post table. According to the oc docs, I've found that formwidgets tries to save a data, but disabling the save feature works ok.

For now, I've solved the problem by adding these lines to PostInfo.php:

    public function getSaveValue($value)
    {
        return \Backend\Classes\FormField::NO_SAVE_DATA;
    }

PHP: 7.1.19
OC build: 437

For mysql-databases with charset set to utf8mb4 and InnoDB-Engine the maximum size of VARCHAR is 191 characters. The ConfirmationHandler or the plugin installation does not account for this scenario.

Right now the ConfirmationHandler always creates a token with 255 characters. The token with 255 characters is send to the user, but only the first 191 characters are stored in the database so every e-mail confirmation will fail.

Is there any reason why you don't register the confirmation mail template as well: https://github.com/gergo85/oc-news/blob/master/Plugin.php#L144-L145 ?

Hey

I plan to create a more detailed log that shows the status of the email sending (queued/sending/sent/viewed/link clicked).

Any suggestion? I try to give you a PR.

Hi,
I would like to make a multilanguage newsletter.
So, in the plugin, all seems ok but how can I use a specific mail template (I create a new template with the right language code - ie indikator.news::mail.email_fr like your indikator.news::mail.email_en - , but it's not working).
Thanks

Hi Gergő,

I have finished integrating your plugin in my blog pages. It's very smart with this image on the left with text along in my introducy.
But to do that, I must copy in an other place and transform the richeditor.css with :

.fr-view img.fr-dib{margin:5px auto;display:block;float:none;vertical-align:top}
.fr-view img.fr-dib.fr-fil{margin-left:0}
.fr-view img.fr-dib.fr-fir{margin-right:0}
.fr-view img.fr-dii{display:inline-block;float:none;vertical-align:bottom;margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;max-width:calc(90%)}
.fr-view img.fr-dii.fr-fil{float:left;margin:5px 5px 5px 0;max-width:calc(95%)}
.fr-view img.fr-dii.fr-fir{float:right;margin:5px 0 5px 5px;max-width:calc(95%)}

which became :

img.fr-dib{margin:5px auto;display:block;float:none;vertical-align:top}
img.fr-dib.fr-fil{margin-left:0}
img.fr-dib.fr-fir{margin-right:0}
img.fr-dii{display:inline-block;float:none;vertical-align:bottom;margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;max-width:calc(90%)}
img.fr-dii.fr-fil{float:left;margin:5px 5px 5px 0;max-width:calc(95%)}
img.fr-dii.fr-fir{float:right;margin:5px 0 5px 5px;max-width:calc(95%)}

Nevertheless, I'm a little bit disapointed when I saw the mail sent : the url of the image is not complete and the css designed for image (.dii .fil) is not present.

I think you use OC facilities to send the mail. Must I contact OC developpers or do you think you can improve that ?

Best regards

@gergo85 View statistics still not working after updating.
Also it will be nice if

1. front end users can be part of subscribers
2. Bulk import of subscribers through text or excel file.

Hi;

I found your plugins in the marketplace and when I try to install it I got this error :

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42804]: Datatype mismatch: 7 ERROR: column "statistics" cannot be cast automatically to type integer

HINT: You might need to specify "USING statistics::integer". in /config/www/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOStatement.php:105

Now this is my config:

System build: 431
I use October with Nginx + Posgres 10

I hope these info are usefull for you :)

Regards!!

AJAX handler 'onRemoveClients' was not found.

Common:

• October: 289
• News pluign: 1.2.6

The Status-Popup after an user confirmes his e-mail is not shown to the new subscriber. It only appears after a backend-user clicks onto the news-tab in the backend.

It should inform new subscribers whether their confirmation/subscription was successful or failed.

Thank you awesome developer of this plugin! I choosed your plugin over RainLab.Blog because of the news letter ability and simplicity with which the variables are made available on the page. Also I personally prefer it's interface simple and better. However advanced users may find the plugin incomplete for the following reason

1. post.user not available? Authors of posts should be available as a key feature
2. Things like post.next and post.prev and a pagination for posts (The pagination code on rainlab.blog seems to work on indikator.news though) as those are traditional requirements in blog iterations
3. It's not particularly clear on how to go about email settings like changing default messages and all.
4. Despite the simplicity of Rainlab.Blog hundred of developers have built extension plugins for it so developers are likely to choose to save some time. For example there's a Blog Views counter for RainLab.Blog which counts page views and produces a component for popular posts this is (or was not available for Indikator.News) I however created a copy of Blog Views for indikator you can find it here : https://github.com/Fenn-CS/newspageviews works exactly the same way it would work on RainLab.Blog.
5. Since a lot of developers are building on RainLab and not Indikator I think it has to ship with a lot of tools out of box to make it more appealing.

Available to help if need be, just like newspageviews I would be building (or copying if you want) more extensions for Indikator.News but please try to fix this basic issues and thank you for the work so far!!

Hey there,

When sending a test email the template isn't displaying all of the information. It will display a title but that is all.

The email template I edited:
Settings -> Mail Templates ->indikator.news::mail.email_en

Here is my email template.

<p>New post of the website:</p>
<br>
<p><img src="https://yourwebsite.com/storage/app/media{{image}}" alt=""></p>
<p><em>{{ title }}</em><br>
{{ summary|raw }}</p>

<p>{{ content | raw}}</p>
<p>TESTING P</p>   
<p>www.yourwebsite.com/news/{{ slug }}</p>
<br>
<p>Best regards,<br>
The Team</p> ```

Is there a different template I should be using?

Documentation is severely lacking. How do I implement this into my layout after installing the plugin?

"SQLSTATE[42804]: Datatype mismatch: 7 ERROR: column "statistics" cannot be cast automatically to type integer HINT: You might need to specify "USING statistics::integer". (SQL: ALTER TABLE news_posts ALTER statistics TYPE INT)"

I tried installing the plugin multiple times but got the same error.

These might be an issue with the plugin itself. And if so, it needs to be addressed.

Hi,
I wanted to add posts list to my page and got "Exception" page:
The filter "_" does not exist. Did you mean "url_encode", "json_encode", "date_modify", "number_format", "convert_encoding"

in (...)/plugins/indikator/news/components/posts/default.htm line 24.

After I removed _ filter from Prev and Next in default.html file, component managed to work. I do not undestand Twig yet so everything I can do now is to inform you about the problem.

Hi @gergo85 can you add unsubscribe facility for subscriber.
Either from front end or there should be link at the bottom of each email sent to subscriber.

Steps to reproduce

• Open an existing news item
• Switch to plain-text mode
• Edit the code (e.g. add a <p> tag)
• Click Save (you'll get a nice notification that it got saved)
• Refresh the news list
• Change has not been applied

Workaround
Before saving the edited code, switch back to the rich-text view and then click save.

Cause
I'm not familiar with the code, so I've no idea. JavaScript console stays clean so it doesn't seem like some JavaScript command went wrong.

When editing a news entry the preview button is directing to a wrong location.

Installing the plugin and saving the Data into a SQLite DB fires an error when trying to look at the statistics. Following error is displayed when the Statistics button is clicked.

Hi, I have encountered an error during sending the newsletter post. Below is the logged info:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect integer value: 'J1So6ywpZLWphxeeRwVbHfV3h8hK7AfS' for column 'job_id' at row 1 in /apps/xxxx/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOStatement.php:105

I checked the database table for column "job_id", the current type is "int(10)". Should it be "varchar(255)" type instead?

Hey Szabó,

I want to make this plugin GDPR conform.
Things to do:

• Extend subscriber model
• Double Opt-In for new subscribers
• Store newsletter subscribing timestamp + IP address
• Create Opt-In confirmation link
• Send Opt-In newsletter confirmation
• Store newsletter subscribing confirmation timestamp + IP address

My plan is to store those timestamps into the subscriber model. Fields to add: (registered_at, registered_ip, confirmed_at, confirmed_ip, unsubscribed_at, unsubscribed_ip).

Any suggestions?

How can I generate a unsubscribe link for email-insertion?

the posts update form ignores locale date formats for update_at field

after update I got this error

Class name is not registered for the component "form". Check the component plugin.

Hi,

In your plugin, by default, in a new post, "sending email" button is on and "published" button is selected. If I save the post, email(s) was/were sent ?

Because, in subscribers, in the "sent" column, I have always "0". So, how can I will be sure if email was sent ?

Thanks

I have the following feature request:

It should be possible to customize the newsletter email from the online post.
So that the newsletter email content is different to the online post (this one can be longer with more images etc.)

My idea would be to have another tab that shows a toggle switch and a richfield.
The toggle switch allows "enable custom newsletter email", or "override newsletter content".
The richfield shows the post.newsletter_content for the newsletter email.

In the mail template we check for override_newsletter_content, if that is set, we take the post.newsletter_content instead of the post.content.

@gergo85 Any suggestion or feedback? I would like to implement it till the end of the week.

Could it be added as component option, default to false (doesn't show not published posts even to backend logged users)?
