Re: [archived] Postmaster -- A simple email-on-post / newsletter manager
Hi.
Ultra fast and ultra short post:
I have upgraded and tested the subscribe form but it isn’t working for me. Subscription mail is being sent, but the subscribed user is not being added to the database.
I will try a bit more and try to find out what’s going on.
Thanks for this excellent work, Ben.

Try setting it to “on” in the hidden input. Or, in any case, the value you want is “on”.
This worked – thanks!

Saj,
Can you post your working unsubscribe form here for me? I’d like to copy it and add it to the Postmanual.

Copy & pasting the plugin from http://www.benbruce.com/txp/Postmaster_v4.0.4.0.2.php

Badly formed or empty plugin code
in my case (TXP 4.0.4). Ideas what I could do?
Thanks!
Hi ben,
Same error here on a dutch host (Linux 2.6.16.29-xen)! […]
version 0.3 finally installs without troubles – looking forward to testing :-)!

Re: [archived] Postmaster -- A simple email-on-post / newsletter manager
having enabled all plugins described in the tutorial, I followed the consecutive steps.
1) Edit “default” list displayed the following message right on top of the edit form:
Notice: Undefined index: listSubjectLine in /home/[…]textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(512) : eval()’d code on line 450
1) Editing the default list then and clicking on “Update List information” delivered the following warning:
Warning: Unknown column ‘listSubjectLine’ in ‘field list’ update txp1_bab_pm_list_prefs set listName=‘name’, listDescription=‘All subscribers’, listAdminEmail=‘news@domain’, listUnsubscribeUrl=’‘, listEmailForm=’‘, listSubjectLine=’‘ where listID=1 in /home/[…]/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 84
without saving the newly defined list parameters, but showing the default list as prior to editing.

gerhard01,
It’s acting as though either the tables did not install, or did not install correctly.
Do you have Rob Sable’s “rss_admin_db_manager” installed? If so, can you do me a favor:
- Go to TXP > EXTENSIONS > DB Manager tab
- Make sure there is a “bab_pm_list_prefs” Table listed
- If there is, click on “bab_pm_list_prefs” and make sure that one of the columns listed on the resulting page is “listSubjectLine” (should be the 7th column from the left)
Thanks,
- Ben

Re: [archived] Postmaster -- A simple email-on-post / newsletter manager
That’s the columns I have:
listID listName listDescription listAdminEmail listUnsubscribeUrl listEmailForm catchall
So it seems “listSubjectLine” is missing in my case …

Re: [archived] Postmaster -- A simple email-on-post / newsletter manager
gerhard01,
This is weird, but I think the fix is going to be fairly simple.
- Go to TXP > EXTENSIONS > DB Backup tab
- Back up your database
- Go to TXP > EXTENSIONS > DB Manager tab
- Click “drop” next to “bab_pm_list_prefs” [be extra careful here — make sure you are clicking “drop” in the same row]
- If you have no subscribers entered, go ahead and click “drop” next to “bab_pm_subscribers” too (if you do have subscribers, leave this table alone for now)
- Click on TXP > EXTENSIONS > POSTMASTER
- Try editing the “default” list again and see what happens.
Sorry for the trouble,
- Ben

Re: [archived] Postmaster -- A simple email-on-post / newsletter manager
benbruce,
Great! – your suggestion did work like a charm – no more notices & warnings, plus “listSubjectLine” is there after having dropped and re-created the tables according to your advice.
Many thanks for your swift and competent help!

I can re-confirm this.
I have been testing with the (very simple) form I have been using with v0.2 and also with many of the forms suggested in the documentation.
As said before: the e-mail is sent, but nothing is added to the db table (note: the db table was created during installation of the version v0.2).
I have tried both with and without the <input type="hidden" name="zemSubscriberLists" value="list_name" > trick.
I’m thinking about backing-up the db, drop any table related to the plug-in, uninstall it and start again from zero. But I will wait to see if Ben considers I can be helpful by testing anything.
Thanks in advance.
