Hi, is there a way to control the font-size, and line-height in the event list widget? current setting prevent more than a 2-3 events from showing in a list if the list is short in height... (200px) which is normally more than enough for 10 items or more at 12-13px font... thx

No, you cannot limit the max number. One option people have chosen in the past is to manage the rsvps in the 'comments' section. This information is visible to all those who can view the page.

Hi guys,

Thought I'd check in on this1 month later since events imported from iCal are still being refigured to appear 4 hours later than they should be. As before I've ensured both the default time zone on both the iCal file (derived from Google calendar) and in Promote are the same, in this case GMT -5:00 (New York). As before, I imported the same iCal into Microsoft Outlook and confirmed that the information in the iCal is correct and it did indeed import correctly in iCal.

Hope this can get worked out -- Samoa is not popping up as the default zone as before, but times are still being set incorrectly in Promote. Thanks.

ooh, I feel dumb now. but thanks for helping!

Try clicking the event title again

We have tabled this issue until August 24th. Thanks for you patience.

It helps to include text like "add us to your safelist," however, if the email is already going to the Spam folder, this may not help much. Unfortunately, there is no way to "force" us to be on the non-spam list.

There are many good practices to follow that will help in the deliverability of your messages. Some include:
+ Use a good, descriptive title
+ Don't use a lot of images

As for the # of user who have "read" your email - this means, not only the user opened the email, but they are displaying images. So, one additional tip is for you to add some text like "make sure you enable 'view images' in this email," something like that. It could very well be that 1200 ppl opened the email, but only 500 have the display images below, thus skewing the number.

No, their email will not be added to the list again. An email will remain in the unsubscribed list until that email address has been double opt'ed in (i.e. user confirms they want to be placed on your list - we generate a link they they have to manually click).

Hi guys,

Still enjoying Promote's many excellent features -- also wondering, too, if there's any new timetable on when events imported from and iCal file can be expected to default to the account's specified time zone and not to Samoa's...thanks!

thank you for this feedback. I reproduced the issue both with the <form> and <iframe> tags. There appears to be a loading/caching delay. I will try to get more details...(Case 17957)</iframe></form>

Further clarification -- code functions fine in compose mode -- once saved, only sporadic retention of correct code, more frequently truncation of code.

A much smaller widget I've also used: <iframe src="http://tckmiller.webasyst.net/WG/show.php?q=VEcxMTMz-a0112c69" height="140" width="225"></iframe>

Thanks again for all your help!

Problem returned -- html box truncates code, corrupting the function. Worked sporadically before.

Thanks for all your help. Here's an example of a Paypal button I embedded (I'll note here that I tried on three different browsers and found an interesting development: it's not that it doesn't work but that it's intermittent. I sat and just pushed refresh over and over for the two events I embedded the button and watched as sometimes the button appeared and other times it just displayed a chunk of code. Functional but *very* sticky). There's another widget I've tried before that used to flunk, but now seems to be working better. All in all, a learning curve, for sure:

<form>

You should be able to include most html tags. What is the exact code that you are using? Im expecting an embed, or object, or iframe reference (which we allow), but let me know and I'll take a look.

That is extremely helpful; thank you!

Thanks.

Toby,

Thanks for you patience. We hope to have this issue patched at the end of this week.

Thanks for this feedback.

One feature you may be able to take advantage is the "Duplicate this event feature." This will copy the existing event, thus keeping the location, times, and organizational info.

Hope this helps.

It is odd that this is limited to gmail contacts only. We will investigate our deliverability with them, however, traditionally it has been very good. One tip is for your contacts to add invite@spongecell.com to safe senders list.
