mem_postmaster - Postmaster Revamp

colak, no idea. There are no references to mem_pm_createTables anywhere in either of the plugins. There are also no references to any “mem_pm_” prefixed function. I kept the bab_pm prefix for everything, except the plugin name to keep things simple.

Only advice is to remove both plugins, download fresh copies and then reinstall them.

Hi Michael, there was a reference to mem_pm_createTables(); on line 123 of the plugin code on v1.0x:

...
// check tables. if not exist, create tables

		$check_prefsTable = @getRows("select * from $mem_pm_PrefsTable");
		$check_subscribersTable = @getRows("select * from $mem_pm_SubscribersTable");
		if (!$check_prefsTable or !$check_subscribersTable) {
			mem_pm_createTables();
		}
...

but it looks like it is for first time users…

Only advice is to remove both plugins, download fresh copies and then reinstall them.

Done that. Worked like a charm… Not sure what happened there.

I might have uploaded the wrong file, which could have caused those problems. The file up there now definitely works.

Oh sorry, I meant 4.2 not 4.0.2 hehehe

eitherway, there is some other issues I found apart from an empty preferences tab.

My subscription forms ar not collecting Names at all, only Emails
Any reason why? I am using this:

<txp:zem_contact to="mlarino@gmail.com" label="" subject="Mailing List" thanks="Thank you for joining my Mailing List"><br />
<txp:zem_contact_email name="zemSubscriberEmail"
     label="Your Email:" />
<txp:zem_contact_text name="zemSubscriberName" label="Your Name: "/>
<txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberLists" 
     value="default" />
<txp:zem_contact_checkbox label="This is not Spam. " />
<txp:zem_contact_submit />
</txp:zem_contact>

remember the new version splits first and last name. so you need to use…

<txp:zem_contact_text name="zemSubscriberFirstName" label="Your First Name: "/>
<txp:zem_contact_text name="zemSubscriberLastName" label="Your Last Name: "/>

I’m really enjoying the improvements of this plugin. What would be really useful for needs of different projects is to have the option to switch between First+Last and Name and for that to be reflected in the admin side. Setting Firstname input field for full name is what I would do now, but it requires explaining the issue to client who manages the subscribers list.

Can you explain more?

I think F+L is way more flexible and it’s a pretty straightforward task to migrate full to first+last via an sql query. Once that is done you can set your templates to display “First Last” with two tags.

catnip · 2009-09-25 06:44:37

Definitely more flexible. Sometimes there’s no need for separate fields and its enough to have full name in one field, which simplifies the form for the user, in which case I would use the “zemSubscriberFirstName” with label=“Your Name”. It’s not ideal because on the admin side the client would log in and see the full name in the “First name” field and an empty “Last name field”. Then I would need to explain to them something along the lines of “this is what we can do with the limitations of the system”. It would be great if the admin side was customisable to allow switching between a 2 fields and a 1 field approach.

We have recently been working on creating more specific lists for our subscribers (… so glad we collected websites with the form:).

Is there a way that we can send an email to lists ‘A’ AND ‘B’ without sending duplicates to people who belong to both lists?

Hello,

is it possible to integrate a “double opt-in” or “confirmed opt-in” option?
Thanks in advance…

mrdale · 2009-09-25 15:23:12

I would…

Create List “C”

filter by “A”, and add all of them to “C”

filter by “B”, and add all of them to “C”

mail to “C”

That’s perfect. Dale you’re becoming a genius:)
