    XF 2.1 Email users - Successful (26k users) but send out 500?

    A smart host is somebody like sendgrid or postmarkapp. The issue you have is your going from 0 volume to significantly more. Ie doing 200 emails a week to 5000 in a day! A mailserver should "recieve" all your emails from your server then slowly trickle the emails out over the day. A bit like a...

    XF 2.1 Email users - Successful (26k users) but send out 500?

    Run your own mailserver and turn on/off smart host when you are doing a big email blast? The mailserver would be doing the brunt of the work.

    XF 2.1 PayPal charging sales tax for account upgrades?

    In Europe it's worse. It's all EU member states. As I don't have a company in Germany how am I supposed to get the vat to them? Or France etc

    XF 2.1 Email users - Successful (26k users) but send out 500?

    26,000 would take like 52 days? A tad impractical. Also sending 26,000 emails when you normally send 200-1000 a day is going to set of the spam alarm bells with every major email provider.

    XF 2.0 Database error

    Honestly it shouldn't be happening. Truncating a table and losing the dB doesn't sound good. It sounds like it's not setup or the server has some busy sites and all connections are occupied....

    XF 2.0 Database error

    yes don't bother repairing the sessions table. its only a temp table. If your hosting is not responding, make a backup and move somewhere else.

    Resend account confirmation and delete unvalidated users

    I agree, re-sending of confirmation emails is a good idea. Could be in increments of time. 1 - point of registration 2 - 1 hour later 3 - 24 hours later 4 - 1 week later - delete user.

    Let's build our own addons

    The best place for development discussion is here: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/xenforo-development-discussions.34/ I also find downloading existing XF2 addon's and reading their code quite handy.

    XF 2.0 how to pass a $variable or $object to php file from template using xf:callback params?

    If you have test2 it works ok? I thought a single {} was for variables and {{}} for functions?

    XF 2.0 Getting template contents

    Hi, I've made a massive amount of progress since the last thread I created and have found XF2 to be quite easy to code for despite large amounts of lacking information in my head. It makes a lot of sense once you see the flow that is required. So..... im on my 2nd addon and I cannot see an...
