[ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager

Ben, just wanted to say thank you for this excellent plugin – you’ve done a great job.

Anyone please tell me where to set the From and Subject of the email sent to subscribers – looked everywhere – except the right place :(

You set it in Postmaster -> Lists

Each list has it’s own subject and From (= the e-mail of the list administrator).

I’ve been thinking about this all weekend – but how would I set up templates/sections/categories so that you could have a main news item, the blocks of items showing links, blog excerpts or something similar.

A little like this:

With the blocks being excerpts from other posts…

Would this mean a new section/category and mutliple articles for each newsletter?

Or is there an easier way?

I just installed Postmaster and have seen the same errors seen by Dragonz and mrdale. However, they don’t actually go away when the site is switched to live status, Textpattern just stops reporting errors. I have a couple of my own errors on my site that I “fixed” by setting the site status to live.

Ben,
I tried to see if I could identify the source of the “Missing argument 1 for page_url()” error. I think it is the result of the two lines that read $page_url = page_url(). Would it be possible to use something like $page_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];? I guess I’m not sure how much information page_url() returns or if there might be problems with the idea I suggested.

Thanks jm – I know that its possible in templates – what I was trying to get at was whether how to structure each newsletter… should I have a year for a the section, then weeks or months for the categories and I was trying to figure out if I would need several articles per newsletter.

With more playing I think it is heading this way – but was just trying to get others ideas.

Thanks anyway

Hi,

I’m just setting up Postmaster for newsletter usage. Everything seems to be going fine except this one thing.

How do I send a confirmation e-mail back to the e-mail address the user just submitted? This is standard netiquette yet I can’t seem to find the option to do just that.

Thanks

erlando,

Look at the documentation for zem_contact_reborn. I believe that’s an option you can set in the form tag.

having a problem with unsubscribe

this is the code in an article

 <txp:zem_contact to="me@me.net" label="" thanks="You have been unsubscribed from this list." subject="[Newsletter] unsubscribe notice">
 <txp:zem_contact_email name="zemSubscriberEmail" label="Your Email:" /><br />
 <txp:zem_contact_checkbox name="zemUnSubscribe" label="Unsubscribe:" required="no" /><br />
 <txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberLists" value="Newsletter" />
 <txp:zem_contact_submit />
 </txp:zem_contact>

I get a notification email. But viewing the subscriber list – subscriber is still there!

I can delete the subscriber through the backend.
