  2. Most cheap GoDaddy hosting plans are not having the Mail() function enabled. If this you, sorry but this mod will not works in your site.

Does this work in 4.1.9? I just upgraded and am having some problems with other mods due it. I would love the pro version, and shoot ads are good for business. But I want to insure it works first on this version.

Thank you in advance for your time.

To be honest I'm always waiting around 2 weeks before upgrading to a new version, as 99% should be something like 4.1.9 PL1 :erm:

But especially this addon, does not uses any vb functions, expect usergroups, that's why it works unmodified with vB3.x too. So, 99,99% should be compatible.

Any quick fix to this. Also a little help to display my forums logo in the header. You can see the attempt I made and if you click on the blue img link you will display the picture.
By default you can assign, which forum ids to include in Popular list. But I can understand you if you have 30 forums and you want to include 29 of them and let out just one, this is not the best way for you. You can tricky it by modifying the file: newsletter/functions.php.

Search for:
Code:
function getPopular
A few lines below you'll find:
Code:
WHERE visible=1 AND open=1 AND forumid IN ($forumids) AND replycount>0
Change it to:
Code:
WHERE visible=1 AND open=1 AND forumid NOT IN ($forumids) AND replycount>0
Doing this change (and only for the popular threads), the forum ids that you'll add in settings, will be excluded instead to included. Hope that you gor my meaning.

Chris

Gotcha so maybe I could do that for the most recent also. Cool and thanks for the quick reply.

Can this do some of the things we discussed via pm a while ago? Such as most popular thread in the past week/month (top replies in past week, top views in past week, etc)?

Thx

Okay Chris I got the code changed and it worked great with my test PM. I scheduled one to the super mods and administrator but it did not work. I am going to need more help. I really want this to work. It's probably the mail server settings. PM coming to you.

There is a notice about this in my main post. The free version is using the Mail() function to send newsletters. Some hosting providers (like GoDaddy), have disabled this function.

It was never that Chris I finally asked Hostmonster for the correct e-mail settings and got it to work. Your link to the Pro version doesn't work anymore. As soon as you fix that I am ready to buy. One last question is my Issue count is up to 8 now. How can I role it back to Issue number one. I assume testing it raised the number up to 8.

Thanks,

Eric
