zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

How could I use zem_contact to send email to multiple recipients from a database? I have searched this forum without luck.
I will appreciate any help that I can get.

<txp:zem_contact to=“emails_in _db (ign_db)”>

If you can write the code that returns the list of recipients as a comma-separated list, it’s really easy. Opening a new topic for that question may give you the answer faster than asking it here. Once you have the comma-separated list you can do:

<txp:zem_contact to='tags or code that returns a comma-separated list of email addresses'>

Thank you Ruud for the quick response.

I think I will follow your advice and open up another thread.

Hello Ruud,

Is there a way to hide the recipients from showing up in the zem_contact email?
Thank you.

@chume, not without hacking plugin code.

chume AFAIK zem_contact_reborn doesn’t support a bcc= instead of to=.

But maybe you should look for a newsletter plug-in or use a static workaround solution like a single group newsletter address to a specific newsletter software or a Google or Yahoo group.

Thank you Ruud and Markus for the helpful hints.

I’m planning to do just this. Extract a list of users (from ign_users) and then hack ZCR to allow for BCCs. I’m no coder, but doing some research it looks like it just needs an extra header.

But I haven’t started anything yet…

All of the other options look like overkill to me.

Hello Anura.
I have a function which retrieved emails from the ign_users_db and using the zcr, I was able to send email to everyone or to a filtered group. I will look into the BCCs aspect that you mentioned. If you need the function, please let me know.

Hi,

I am using the latest version of this plugin on a web project.
What I encounter is that in IE6 Window XP (SP2), after the message is send, the page remain at the ‘thank you’ page. Even if I click on the link back to the contact form, it stays the same until I cleared the cache manually.

This does not happen to other browsers and even IE7 on Vista works.
Could anyone share some thoughts on this and how can I make the cache work on IE6 because a large number of my potential visitors will still be relying on IE6 and most of them have not upgrade to Window Vista. I may not be possible to convince everyone to use FireFox either.

The scenario:
I use the template “Block Rocker” by Matthew Smith.
When a user click “SEND” in the contact form, the message is send and
A “Thank you” page is shown
When the user click “contact” again, the contact form shows.
<p>Cong ty <a href=“http://www.noithat190.net.vn”>noi that 190</a> va cong ty <a href=“http://www.noithat-fami.net”>noi that fami</a>deu ban hang <a href=“http://www.noithat-fami.net/ban-ghe-fami-khac.html”>Ban ghe fami</a></p>

However in IE6, no matter how many times you click the “contact” button,
the “Thank you” page remain….until you clear the cache….

Thank you

Hello,

I’ve never been able to get Textpattern to send mails, so I’m not able to use this really useful plug-in. Is there any way to just store the e-mail addresses in the database for retrieval later ?

You should be able to do this using mem_form to post HTML form contents to a custom table in the textpattern database.

And then you can use smd_query to extract that information eg. a list to display on the screen, export a list to a CSV file etc.
