5.67 replaces 5.66 problem with plug-in

I had to issue another update to 5.67 and revert to an older plug-in for now until I can resolve the issue with the 14.0 plug in. Unfortunately the plug in included in 5.66 which was newer did not import Additional Persons from jw.org properly. It was a jumbles mes. Not sure what happened to that plug in. Maybe a future one will correct this issue but for now, the old one works fine. If you already upgraded to 5.66 and updated your plug in, you will need to download 5.67 now available and update the plug in:

  • Update to 5.67
  • Go to Settings from the Directory
  • Go to the Gear icon on the left
  • Click "Install plug in"
  • The plug in will install and the program will close
  • Reopen the program and the plug will then be 13.04

You should now e fine to import from the branch website again!

Regional Conventions- As a reminder the program does not create Chairman's notes you will need to add these yourself in the document the branch provides. Also to change the Check-in Slip descriptions and notes, simply take that form out of preview mode and adjust the field and then this will be the same for all the check-in slips in the future until changed.

One other little detail: I was able to finally get the pictures to show in the HTML emails and you can too, but with some tricky stuff. (For Advanced Users) I used Mailchimp to do this. If you create a free account, and do a test template and enter picture, download the HTML and then set Safari to the Developer settings you can see the link for your picture and then use that link in the field in CDOTG. But to see this link in HTML you must set Safari to Developer Mode, by going to Safari, click Settings>Advanced and click the box at the bottom showing "Show Features for Web Developers" and this will allow you to see the HTML on any page of the internet. Dropbox links no longer work and not storing them on my server as before either. You may find another hosting service that will work with Google as well, but it seems Google doesnt let just any hosting serving send pictures through their servers! Nice to have the pictures working again!
