Re: Program with SMS reminders - Help please

 

Hi Bram,

I fixed the bug about "*The "Before" and "After" parameters in the "Show
details" on template reminder messages are also inverted*" in the end of
last year ( I am not sure when exactly ).

Besides, there is a small bug in program template reminder. It is fixed in
revision 17683.

Can you test the bugs again with the latest revision 17683 ?
