Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does this part do?

"News Forum: Forum ID of the forum where your "News Section" will feed the latest threads from."

**Great hack**
:up:

I have two questions for you or anyone with answers.
One - does it send emails to members that have checked the options NOT to receive emails from admin?
Two - how do you change the bburl title color (in the preview email) to a different color from white. Is it a default vB setting?




FYI ONLY -- I found out once the community letters are sent, each latest member link has an error in it. On the sent email, it shows 404 error page pointing to /member.php?u=2568 and not http://www.yourwebsite.com/member.php?u=2568
After looking around the files, I was able to figure it by going to the product-c_news_letter XML file to add the www.yourwebsite.com/ part in the code below

</div>]]></template>
		<template name="c_news_letter_latest_memberbit" templatetype="template" date="1220381286" username="gio~logist" version="1.0.0"><![CDATA[<a href="/member.php?u=$member[userid]">$member[username]</a><if condition="$c_news_letter_latest_members_count != '10'">,</if>]]></template>

change to

It worked for me so I know it is a right fix and I hope it helps others.

I think i made a post about that, but I haven't had a chance to update the zip. However, i just updated it with the url fix :up:

Also, it currently sends to all users in the Light version. As for editing the links, you'd need to adjust the c_news_letter template accordingly.

Great. Works perfectly but for 1 thing. The image icons near the posts don't show. An clues?
Also, can we increase number of shown news or posts?

[giorgioarmani]

What if my site has no news?

[Alfa1]

Then you make news!

[kartik786]

does it have cron ? ability to the number of members who receive emails and ability to opt out?

if not, does the premium one have it?

I have over 70k members on a semi dedicated and wouldnt want to mess the server up

[yumyumcat]

Is there a pay version and what's the difference?? I could've sworn this was a feature of vBulletin a while back wasn't it, but there was more to it.

I have installed this and added 3 forum id's that should be excluded from the information shown.

In each case these are ignored and the information from private/admin forums is sent out in the "Recent Threads " section.

edit : Product now uninstalled.
