Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Piru a écrit:
I’m having problems creating new subscribers. I need to import a list of 200+ subscribers, but when using the method posted in the manual I get only the first user and address showing up. Furthermore, if I delete that subscriber it randomly shows up once in a while after refreshing the page. Very frustrating. :-) It gives me the idea that in one way or another the items aren’t properly deleted out of the DB. Has anyone encountered this problem?
I’m using Textpattern versie: 4.0.6 (r2805)
Postmaster Ben Bruce 0.4.4
Postmaster Library Ben Bruce 0.2.3
Edit: When deleting the faulty subscriber: “Deleted subscriber.” appears (so it’s supposed to be gone). Then, when going to Lists and afterwards returning to the Subscriber tab… the faulty (deleted) subscriber is there again.
I know that the message is a 2 months ago, but i had the same problem and the issue is very simple: Clear cash often!!
An advise also: when creating a CVS make sur that it s encoded in UTF!!
Cheers

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Hi,
First let me thank you for a very good plug-in, there is only one small problem I have at the moment. I want the Newsletters to be displayed on the website as well as being emailed. There must be an easy way to achieve this but I can’t think of one. I use a Form to determine which section the article is in and depending on this I use the following
<txp:if_section name="newsletter">
<txp:article_custom section="newsletter" form="newsletter" />
</txp:if_section>but this leaves at the top and bottom the email part of the form used for the email Newsletter
, -- Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit , -- Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bitand
Unsubscribe from our Newsletter Any suggestions how I can avoid this as it is not very nice.
apart from that I have managed to import over 100 email addresses and everything looks just as I want it.
Regards

Hi Exiladler,
the easiest way could be just creating another form including just the html/txp-tags/content you want to display on your site.

Hi,
sounds interesting but how do I make sure that the contents is the same as the newsletter? I use sections not categories at the moment to place my articles. I know I am lacking knowledge, can you kindly outline this solution for me please?

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
- Create a new form under Presentation -> Forms
- In that new form, copy the contents of your already existing “newsletter” form.
- But remove the chunks (HTML/Txp-tags/etc) you don’t want to display on your site.
- Finally:
<txp:if_section name="newsletter">
<txp:article section="newsletter" form="my_new_form" />
</txp:if_section>(I’ve changed article_custom to article)

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Thanks,
I did that originally as this creates the form that will be sent by email to the subscribers, here is the code from my form ‘newsletter’:
<txp:bab_pm_data display="subscriberName" />,
<txp:bab_pm_data display="Body" strip_html="yes" />
<txp:bab_pm_mime type="text" />
<txp:bab_pm_data display="subscriberName" />,
<txp:bab_pm_data display="Body" strip_html="yes" />
<txp:bab_pm_mime type="html" />
<p><txp:bab_pm_data display="subscriberName" />,</p>
<h1><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />
<br />
<br />
<a href="<txp:bab_pm_unsubscribeLink type="text" />">
Unsubscribe from our Newsletter</a>
<txp:bab_pm_mime type="end" />What confuses me is that I also want the Newsletter to display on the site so both, emailed and as Webpage. How do I ensure that the email that get’s sent to subscribers contains the needed email specific tags/code and the one displayed on the website has them stripped out. I fear that if I remove them that the email will be wrongly formatted.

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
I’m pretty sure that the email will still be formatted by the “newsletter” form, because that’s the one specified for your subscription list(s) in Extensions -> Postmaster -> Lists (check it).
So, in other words, the email will still use “newsletter” form and in your site you can use a new form as explained before.
A form like this could be a start:
<h1><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />Offline

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Exiladler, did you get this working? I’m researching different cms’s and a newsletter plugin is a must have feature, as well as the ability to have the newsletter on the website as well. Thanks!

Have you read the replying posts to Exiladler I wrote above? ;)

Simple, don’t touch the original form used to sent emails. Create a new form with the tags you need, an use that one (on an txp:article or txp:article_custom) on your site to display the contents as you would like to.

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Well it seems to work the way maniqui describes it as the client has sent a test mail and that looks perfectly formatted whereas the website is now not showing the ‘html’ tag any longer as I amended that form accordingly.
<fingers crossed>
