[archived] Postmaster -- A simple email-on-post / newsletter manager

Yes, 0.3. No time frame for that yet, but I’m slowly but steadily going through it.

On the custom fields — you can label the field whatever you like. I think if you do not manually add a label attribute to the zem_contact_reborn tag, it may use the “name” by default, but you should be able to use (using your example):

<txp:zem_contact_text name=“zemSubscriberCustom1” label=“Address” />

Or is that not what you meant?

If you mean that in the above example, you would use a different name value (address instead of zemSubscriberCustom1) then that’s what I thought you meant, and a bit more complicated.

PS. Thanks for the kudos. :)

Ben

You almost got my meaning. Not… doing… good… job of… expressing… myself. :)

In the “add user” and “edit user” screens on the admin-side. It would be nice to set the labels to the inputs without hacking your plugin. Nice, not essential. That way if I have a user who inputs addresses now and then he knows what the fields are for.

Warning after submitting a ZCR contact form in my site. Again, it’s from a contact form, not from a subscriber form:

tag_error <txp:zem_contact to="me@mydomain.com" from="me@mydomain.com" label="Formulario de contacto" copysender="yes" form="contacto" /> ->  Textpattern Warning: Duplicate entry '' for key 2
INSERT INTO bab_pm_subscribers values ('','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','00e7718c2e16a28d5ad4c67fca619082')  on line 84

Bugs

I dont know if this is exactly a bug, but from time to time (I haven’t find out how to reproduce it) a totally blank entry is added to subscribers list.

It seems that the above warning message and the bug I have reported are related in some way.
The strange thing is that my ZCR contact form doesn’t have any tag/value related to Postmaster.
It seems that the contact form is triggering something at the Postmaster mechanisms.

Ben, thanks in advance and excuse my english once again.

maniqui,

I’m thinking about it. Every time the submit button is clicked, the Postmaster function is called. That’s the way it works — but if there are no items related to Postmaster, it should simply return. It sounds like it’s not happening so I’ll have to go in there and figure it out.

Hi Ben.
Thanks for your quick reply.

FYI, here is my contact form form.

bc.<txp:zem_contact_text label=“nombre” /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_email label=“e-mail” /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_textarea label=“mensaje” cols=“60” /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label=“enviar” />

And this is how I call it from the page template:

<txp:zem_contact to="info@domain.com" from="info@domain.com" label="Formulario de contacto" copysender="yes" form="contacto" />

Hey Ben, Just installed the Postmaster plugin and I must say this is AWESOME! I’m rolling out a newsletter night now for one of my websites and I’d love to take advantage of some of the functionality discussed for the .03 release. Do you have any idea on when you’ll have a chance to get this uploaded?

Thanks again!!!

benbruce · 2006-12-06 22:43:56

I’d say at least two weeks. That’s, um, building in some buffer for myself, but I’ve got a lot on my plate. Some of the changes have been posted here in the thread, if that helps, or you could say more specifically what you need and there might be a way to get it done sooner.

Thanks for the update Ben. I’m looking to get the “body_html” output type working. I’m sending multipart mime messages and it looked to me like you had a new feature coming where I could simply type in my message in normal textile and it would render correctly.

That’s the big one. Not a critical thing, it’s more just a convenience thing :) I can look around and see if the code is in the forum, I didn’t notice it from a quick glance but I might have missed it. For the next couple of weeks I can also just write the html myself and paste it into the body of the article – no worries, just a bit uglier to look at :)

Thanks for the speedy reply! I really appreciate it!

Anybody out there who is using PM already? I like to write an article on the german txp blog about it and like to add a “demo site”.

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

leads to

Badly formed or empty plugin code

in my case (TXP 4.0.4). Ideas what I could do?

Thanks!

Do you have security (mod_security) turned on in apache? I recall a similar problem in I had a similar problem on some of my sites a while back… It’s worth a shot to disable and try that :)

Also make sure you are not copying and pasting the following:

# Paste the following text into the 'Install plugin' box:

Only paste what FOLLOWS the last line of dots …
