[yariplus]

@chrismccoy Thanks!

I checked it and an alert does pop up for me. What version of nodebb are you using?

[yariplus]

Looks like this for me.

[chrismccoy]

using 0.7.1 dev

[yariplus]

@chrismccoy hmm, what theme are you on?

I tested v0.7.1-dev with persona and lavender and they worked for me.

[chrismccoy]

[yariplus]

@chrismccoy BAM!

CSV now accepted in the E-mail field.

[chrismccoy]

Is this working with version 8.0?

Would be awesome if this plugin will ha e the option to give users certain amount of invitations. Just like gmail or other apps have done in its early days. So, that way througth user profile you could see the amount of invitations you have and invite friends to the forum.

The admind could be the one capable of creating new invitations for the users.

Just an idea. Great work with this yariplus.

@jarey That sounds really cool.

Wow, thanks! That's a great idea. I actually stopped pushing updates to this once they started adding invitations to core NodeBB. A feature like that would really separate the plugin from core functionality. Definitely something I'll be looking into.

Just tested and everything seems to be working great. I'll update the compatibility string.

[tfraley]

Can you send an invitation even if the forum is not locked down?

[yariplus]

@tfraley Hmm, no not at the moment, I'll fix that asap.

I'm not really sire but it seems that at least parcially, the functio ality is moving to the core? Or am i wrong?
