zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.19 (old version)

I don’t know if this is possible but could zem contact be used to submit articles? So you could have an article entry form separate from the admin interface.

They would be given pending status and could then be approved by an admin.

You probably can do that, but it would require an additional plugin to take the form input and insert that into the textpattern table. Have you considered using the mem_self_register plugin ?

Hello,
I downloaded the plugin and tried to install it, but i get the message “ Badly formed or empty plugin code.”
I tried it loads of times and I am pretty sure I did no copy and paste error. can anybody help??

thanks in advance :) evalotta

Which hosting company do you use? It has been reported before and always turned out to be something related to the webserver where the code is uploaded. If you paste the plugin code in a regular article and save that, does it get stored or is it also empty?

i use a company called hosteurope.

yes it comes back emty and gives my the following error:
“Undefined variable: second in /is/htdocs/…/textpattern/include/txp_article.php

evalottchen · 2007-05-30 17:51:06

So is there anything I can do to fix the problem except changing the hosting company?
If not another question: I have currently zem_contact v0.6 installed, but I don’t get it to send the email. Each time, it come back with the error “Unable to send email”. (the mailto property is set to an email adress with the same domain name as the website). Is there anything I can do to make this older version of the plugin work? that would be great!

zem_contact is different plugin with it’s own support topic.

A possible workaround to install the plugin, since you’re replacing zem_contact with zem_contact_reborn, is to edit the zem_contact plugin (on the plugins tab) and paste this code (starting with the word function and ending with }) to replace the old zem_contact code.

Either way, I’d recommend asking your hosting company for advice, perhaps there’s something they can do to avoid blocking the upload of plugin code.

If you don’t mind doing some tests, cut the plugin code (the official download code, not the link I just gave) in two roughly equal parts. Try storing each of them separately in an article. I’m hoping one of the two parts of code refuses to save. If so, cut that part in two and repeat this procedure. Keep doing this until you have narrowed it down to a line (or a few lines). If it’s just a small part of the code that somehow triggers this problem, that would help to track it down.

Something like this (not tested):

Beware of commas and quotes in article titles.

Hi Ruud, thank you for posting the above example. I hope to get it to work – its a really exciting example!

Unfortunately, I only get a drop down select list filled with one option – “General inquiry”.

I have the code in a ZCR form like so (I use MLP on this test site, locally hosted with MAMP):

<p><txp:zem_contact_select label="##tournament_name##:" list=",<txp:php>
  $tournaments = safe_column('Title', 'textpattern', "Section='tournaments' AND Posted < NOW() AND Status=4");
  $list = join(',', $tournaments);
  echo zem_contact_select(array('name' => 'event, 'list' => $list));
</txp:php>" break="" /></p>

ruud · 2007-05-30 18:33:09

Try this instead:

<p><txp:php>
  $events = safe_column('Title', 'textpattern', "Section='events' AND Posted < NOW() AND Status=4 ORDER BY Posted ASC");
  $list = ',' . join(',', $events);
  echo zem_contact_select(array('label' => '##tournament_name##:', 'name' => 'event', 'list' => $list, 'break' => ''));
</txp:php></p>

Ok – that gives me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LIST, expecting ‘)’ in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/latest/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(2681) : eval()’d code on line 4

There was a quote missing after ‘event. Code updated.
