Ah sorry, not too sure and not touched this for many a year – I think that shouldn’t be too hard in the code but not something I can help with.

This is not resolved. Perhaps make it optional to load your external third-party scripts because it’s not best practice and very slow to load.

Hi Sudar,

Need this ideally for Jan 11th when Mandrill have a 6hour scheduled downtime.

https://mailchimp.com/planned-mandrill-outage/

They give an example api endpoint and show the 503 json response that will be returned. Great for testing.

Any chance you can launch this feature prior to the 11th (eg tomorrow!). It might even help you promote the plugin and feature as there must be many WordPress/Mandrill users who will need to see what emails are not sent and then use your premium resend plugin.

I just purchased the pro business bundle specifically so I can resend from this downtime.

Thanks!

Hi Yehudah,

Thanks for reply (I should have made two tickets, so apologies!)

1. Custom work, but using the official mandrill library to send emails: https://bitbucket.org/mailchimp/mandrill-api-php/src/master/src/Mandrill.php

Specifically: $this->mandrill->messages->send($message, $async, $ip_pool, $send_at);

I call that method to send – then perhaps there is a hook you have I can use to post the result so it is logged for your plugin to view.

2. Using post SMTP for mail delivery. Mandrill have 6hours scheduled downtime next week and will return a 503 error if emails are not sent (https://mailchimp.com/planned-mandrill-outage/).

I’m looking at ways to catch undelivered emails and then resend. I think your plugin could be a good solution if I can catch all the undelivered emails and then resend.

Thanks for your time!

Sorry I don’t have the time to update – https://yogrow.co does a similar service now.

Thanks Giannis

Thanks Giannis – helped a lot and here is the code if anyone else wants to use:

https://domain.com/?feed=job_feed
https://domain.com/?feed=job_feed&featured=true

add_filter('job_feed_args', 'featured_feed_query_args');

function featured_feed_query_args($query_args)
{

    // check if featured
    if ($_GET['featured'] == 'true') {

        $query_args['meta_query'][] = [
            'key' => '_featured',
            'value' => true,
            'compare' => '='
        ];

    }

    return $query_args;
}

Hi Giannis,

I’m talking about Job Submissions. If the user is logged out, creates a Job and adds a username and password then a user account is also created along with the new Job.

In this situation I would like to send an email to notify that the account has been created.

Thanks!

Elliot

Fantastic. So I think the following code will do:

add_filter('job_feed_args', 'featured_feed_query_args');

function featured_feed_query_args($query_args)
{

    $query_args[] = [
        'meta_key' => '_featured',
        'meta_value' => true
    ];

    return $query_args;
}

My next question is, we need a feed of both:

1. All jobs
2. Featured jobs

Any ideas if I can make the featured conditional without rewriting…

eg.

1. https://domain.com/?feed=job_feed
2. https://domain.com/?feed=job_feed&featured

Thanks!

Hi, sorry not at the moment, but i’ll bear it in mind for future development. Thanks

There was a filter hooking into the post_excerpt in my parent theme which was doing this. Marking as resolved as not something within the plugin.

I think I’m mistaken – it looks like all RSS feeds are XML based:

Rookie error!

Sounds like you might be using WordPress.com and not www.ads-software.com – They are different.

One is a paid service which hosts your site and one is a free open-source project you self-host.

Both use the same underlying technology. Unfortunatly the names are identical except for .org and .com and it creates enormous confusion. It’s all rather silly but unlikely to change.

Sorry to hear you’ve found the latest update painful. Good luck!

Amazing Michael! Will use this. Would be great to add to the plugin core and then enable this feature if /cptui-json/ folder detected.

Understand not wanting to bulk the plugin, but nice for us dev’s who use this process for ACF already.

Cheers!

Thanks Derek!
