Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Ops! ¿bug?
When trying to modify some list fields (like admin e-mail, form, or any other), changes aren’t saved after hitting the “Update list information”.
Sorry, false alarm. Pages (both list of lists and edit list pages) were being cached by the browser. That was confusing. Is this a browser issue or maybe PM is sending wrong headers and so, the page is being cached?

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Now, yes, I think I spotted a bug this time…
Users aren’t being subscribed when using default list values in a ZCR hidden field.
This <input type="hidden" name="zemSubscriberLists" value="notification newsletter" /> used to work fine until the update.
i’ve tried this on two differents forms (on the same site): one, a simple ZCR form for subscribe; the other, a ZCR contact form with the option to subscribe.
In both, it failed to add the lists to the subscriber lists field.

Maniqui,
Try <txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberLists" value="default" />

There is similar behaviour here too. The name, email and the ‘custom field’ are added to the db but not “Subscriber lists” using default values <input type=“hidden” name=“zemSubscriberLists” value=“default subscriber” >
>Edit… That’s what I love about this forum. Sometimes you just can’t be fast enough to report something as the solution will wait for you in the previous post.

Thanks again, Ben.
Your suggestion worked like a charm.
It’s late now, but I will come back tomorrow or in a few days with some comments and maybe some ideas or feature request.

Hi ben
I have installed the pluggin on txp 4.0.6, but have trouble when clicking on POSTMASTER Table,
I have follow the tutorial steps: install the library and make it active, install posmaster and make it active then go to Postmaster tab, and then you see all theses errors messages!

At first, I thinked that additional table haven’t been added to database, but when I look with phpMyAdmin all seems to be Ok!
I use PHP: 5.2.5 and MySQL: 5.0.45-community!

Dragondz,
mrdale reports the same issue (I’ve listed it here). He says, “the errors go away when I set the the site to Live”. I’ll see what I can figure out,

hi ben,
this is an output of <txp:bab_pm_data display="Excerpt_html" strip_html="yes" />
Another quite enlightening column and newsletter for those who speak German is Der Spiegel’s Zwiebelfisch by Bastian Sick. The newsletter might well be included in the "Eats Shoots and Leaves” phenomenon, with three volumes already published and a successful tour around Germany.
In his issue of October 31, 2006, he discussed English loan words in German under an innovative perspective (and very clever, too)First issue: the closing quote is being converted to an HTML entity (as if it has been textiled). Have tested this in other articles and it’s always the same.
Second issue: the 7 blank spaces before “In his issue of…”. I don’t know where they come from. Also tested with other articles and it’s the same.

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
Anyone please tell me where to set the From and Subject of the email sent to subscribers – looked everywhere – except the right place :(

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
You set it in Postmaster -> Lists
Each list has it’s own subject and From (= the e-mail of the list administrator).

Re: [ARCHIVED] Postmaster (0.4.4) -A simple newsletter manager
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:
http://www.aguawebs.com/bits/email.gif
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?

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