hmm, anybody testet postmaster with txp 4.05 – it seems not to work (at least for me it won’t work). I receive a email from the zcr form, but there is no entry in the postmaster subscribers list (only the test@test) nor in the database. i really don’t get it – what i am doing wrong?? or is it that it don’t work with txp 4.05

hmm, it’s working fine for me on 4.0.5… have you seen the tutorial ?

m9dfukc · 2007-09-25 16:56:28

ah, hi sven (its me andreas from berlin) – yeah did everything like the tutorial instructs me. … thats the misterious thing – i really don’t know why it just won’t work – also a lokk under the hood (php code) helped me.

my problem is not that i can’t send emails to subscribers – my problem is that the dataset from the ZCR form doesn’t seem to get into the database (subscriper list). any hints??

best andreas

Are you using gbp_permanent_links?
I used to have that issue with Postmaster + ZCR + gbp_permanent_links.

It was fixed with the last version of Graeme’s plug-in.

m9dfukc · 2007-09-25 21:44:12

ok, that seems to be the problem – i was using the gbp_permanent_links 0.11 – when i switch it off everything works fine.

much thanks

benbruce · 2007-09-26 20:37:06

m9dfukc,

The issue with gbp_permanent_links is resolved with the latest version of that plugin (v0.11.617).

One of my subscribers reported that in Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 he gets these lines at the top of every mail:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

I sent text mails using this form:

Any ideas?

I have a suggestion about URLs in the Newsletter.

I use clean URLs on my site and create some landing pages with if_category logic etc. Since the Newsletter spells out messy URLs, the articles linked there are not always displayed properly (obviously, if_category etc doesn’t work with an id-based URL).

Would it be possible to offer a “building block URL” set? I was thinking of putting together tags to build my URL “by hand” according to the URL scheme I’m using (I use gpb_permanent_links on the site).

Perhaps an example (in the way it could work):

 <txp:site_url />/<txp:bab_pm_data display="section" />/<txp:bab_pm_data display="category1" />/<txp:bab_pm_data display="url" />

It would be great, if this would render a linked URL based on the tags (with “URL” reading the URL field from the DB, so that custom article URLs would also work.

What do you think?

Remember to set Firefox’s popup blocker to disabled (not just allow from your site.)

This might have saved me some time if I’d remembered it.

Ok I have another problem… Thunderbird won’t display the multi-part email properly.

When I view the message, the last few items of the header are each seperated by a blank line. I’m guessing this causes the mail app to view them as not part of the header, but part of the email. I’ve tried the gmail fix to change the “\r\n” to “\n” but to no avail.

Actually, it seems like I can edit the header string, ie

$headers = "From: $listAdminEmail" . "\n" . "Reply-To: $listAdminEmail" . "\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\n" . "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\n" . 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"' . "\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit";

however I like and I still get the same result…

any ideas?

is there the possibility to push this plugin and a plugin like mem_self_register towards the same path so that users can register and opt to end on a mailing list in the same moment?

benbruce · 2007-10-30 22:17:40

feragnoli,

Is there anyway to hack it so that both forms use the same submit button? So you’d have:

Form (mem_self_register) <br />
Form (postmaster checkbox) <br />
Submit

Not sure how you would accomplish this, but off the top of my head that seems easiest.

Ben
