I got the following error message.

If I replace the file with an older version (rev. 2464) the mailer works fine, but some other errors occur. expl. I have no access to the usertab in the admin section anymore in other words it displays a blank page under the tab..

Hello Axel,

I think your ISP has enabled PHP safe mode. Some ISP allows you to disable PHP safe mode. If you can’t do it yourself, then ask them. My ISP (servage.net) allows me to turn the PHP safe mode.

Kind regards,

Maarten.

This is a known bug which is fixed in the most current version of txplib_misc.php. Using this file should provide a workaround for safe-mode restrictions until Textpattern 4.0.8 is released.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

Hi Ruud (or anyone else who can help me),

I’m in a bind and I really need some help. I can’t get this to work so that the “Tell a Friend” form sends a URL for the home page and isn’t tied to a specific article. It seems really simple, but there isn’t a plugin that does this by default. I don’t understand PHP very well and I want to make sure the form is secure for the client.

The intent is to have a “tell a friend” button on every page – when clicked the user ends up at a form on the contact page to input their e-mail and their friend’s e-mail (it would be nice to be able to input multiple e-mails, separated by commas). The form would validate and send a message (message can be fixed in the code) to the recipient with a link to the home page URL.

This is different from a “send_article” link, as it is NOT tied to a specific article. Perhaps zem_contact is not the best plugin for this? Perhaps it needs to be customized? Whatever the case I really need to make this seemingly simple task work, and I need some help to do it. The suggestions made above don’t seem to work at all, or I’m not understanding correctly what I should be doing.

I’m willing to pay you for your time to help me accomplish this – please help me out.

Your time and help is very, very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Michael

Hi Ruud – looks like you aren’t showing your e-mail or messaging links… I only see a link to your website. (?)

edit: check your email ;)

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

I’ve got an issue with the form mail not being sent. It looks like it works, but I never receive the mail (yes, I checked junkmail). Here’s what I am doing:

From the article page, I call a form using the following tag: <txp:output_form form=“askForm”/>

Within the form, I have code for a lightbox (so the form will be displayed there) and zem_contact. The Zem piece within the form is:

<div id=“askForm”> <txp:zem_contact to=“MY EMAIL ADDRESS” label=“Send Your Question” thanks=“Thank you for your question. You’ll see it in the newsletter if it gets published.”>

<txp:zem_contact_text label=“What’s Your Name?” /> <txp:zem_contact_email label=“What’s Your eMail?” /> <txp:zem_contact_text label=“Where are you from?” /> <txp:zem_contact_textarea label=“What’s Your question?” />

<txp:zem_contact_submit /> </txp:zem_contact> </div>

What I get is a working lightbox and the form looks as expected. I fill it out and hit the send link. The lightbox goes away and I am returned to the page. I don’t get the confirmation message, but it feels like it works. However, like I said, I never get the mail. Any ideas?

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

Check your source after submiting to see if the .zemThanks or .zemError messages are there but hidden. This may help lead you in the right direction.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

When you submit the form and there is an error zem_contact_reborn will output a ul with a class of zemError. This may be hidden from view by the lightbox so I was suggesting looking at the html source of the page to see if you are missing an error. In internet explorer you would click “View – Source”.

Alternatively a give a url and we can check it out further.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

I don’t see an error anywhere in the source. Any other ideas? I’m not sure where to go from here for troubleshooting.
