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

WebKat · 2007-06-22 17:43:12

I host my mom’s site on my own server. My site is in the folder /home/vhosts/opalcat/www and hers is in /home/vhosts/tucsonirishcommunity/www … they’re set up exactly the same way.

So, I may conclude that there is something between gbp_permanent_link/Postmaster (and maybe, ZCR), and seems to not be related to pap_contact_cleaner.

no idea why PM and Graeme’s plugin wouldn’t work together. I’ll add that to the manual.

Good news – I’ve finally fixed this issue between the plugins in version 0.11.617 :)

Thanks, graeme. It seems to work perfectly.

Also, I share this with all PM users:

<txp:zem_contact to="youremail@yourwebsite.com" >
<txp:zem_contact_text name="zemSubscriberName" label="name" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_email name="zemSubscriberEmail" label="e-mail" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_textarea label="message" cols="60" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_checkbox label="I want to subscribe." name="zemDoSubscribe" checked="yes" required="no" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="send" />
</txp:zem_contact>

This is an alternative to the both Subscription / Contact Form.
It’s just have a checkbox to be subscribed. (It doesn’t have the dropdown select nor the anti-SPAM checkbox.)

Ops!

The above form doesn’t works correctly.
Even when the checkbox is unchecked, the user is being subscribed!
(I think I have tried this some months ago and also didn’t worked for me at that time).

Any idea what could it be?

maniqui · 2007-07-03 05:03:55

Just to confirm that the original form (Subscription / Contact Form from PM Manual) works fine in both cases: when subscribe is selected and also when it’s not selected.

I can’t see what could be the differences between both forms.

maniqui,

I think I went through the same headbanging when I was first trying to find a solution to the “subscription and/or subscribe form” — the difference lies in the fact that an HTML checkbox will not post any information if it isn’t checked. Weird. There was no easy solution to that, that I could come up with, which is why I went with the dropdown menu as a solution.

OpalCat,

Sorry you were having trouble with the plugin … another question for you: Is your mom’s Web site on a subdomain or anything like that? Also, here is a page in the Postmanual that offers some alternatives.

Hi Ben. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you are right about that… some time ago my boss explained me that fact about checkboxes (that doesn’t send any information in the request, or something similar)…

In the meanwhile, I will try with two radio buttons (yes/no). Do you think it will work?

benbruce · 2007-07-03 17:02:01

It’s been a while so I can’t remember why I decided on a dropdown. But as long as the value being sent by the radio buttons corresponds to the values being sent by the dropdown, it should work fine. Does that make sense?

Hi Ben,

Please, could you take a look at my post in the ZCR thread?

Two post below that one you will find ruud’s reply, asking something about Postmaster.

Thanks in advance.

any help for me?

benbruce · 2007-07-09 15:03:11

OpalCat,

Sorry you’re having trouble. As I understand it, you’ve got Postmaster working correctly on a server for one Web site, and then it’s not working correctly on the SAME server, for a different Web site. There HAS to be some difference between the two, and you’ll need to figure out what that difference is before I can help out any more. I did point you to a page on the Postmanual if you need to get emails sent asap (for other mailers).

Ben

I don’t want to get a whole different mailer set up. And yes that is the situation. Both sites are on the same server. I can’t figure out what difference there might be. :(
