MySQL 4 does not support something in the query the plugin uses. MySQL 5 (and 5.1) have been available for a while.

I’m also getting these errors, plus this error when I first opening the “postmaster” tab after installation:

Warning: Unknown column 'list_id' in 'field list' insert into bab_pm_list_prefs set list_id=1, subscriber_id=1 in /textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 85

on:
Textpattern version: 4.2.0 (r3275)

How I can completely remove “Postmaster” from my database?
what are all the tables names that needs to be removed please?
(I want to completely reinstall it, I was using Ben’s plugin before)

is there a way by which I can have people subscribe to 2 lists?

That is the “default” one for all subscribers (preferably happening automatically)
and another one from a pull-down menu.

@manfre – I too am getting the following error which is similar to THE BLUE DRAGON’s and happen upon first visit to the Postmaster Tab (which installs the tables successfully btw):

Warning: Unknown column 'list_id' in 'field list' insert into bab_pm_list_prefs set list_id=1, subscriber_id=1 textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(484) : eval()'d code:537 safe_insert() in /textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 85

I’m then getting:

Notice: Undefined index: bab_pm-subscribers_per_page in /textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(484) : eval()'d code on line 386

…when re-visiting the Postmaster Tab.

An then interestingly enough, after deleting the Test User that comes pre-loaded that second error no longer shows up. After this I added a subscriber using the form and once that user is in that previous error does not show up as it did when attempting to list the Test User. So, it seems to me that Test User insert was the only problem and that I can use the plugin as intended without worrying about those two errors. Could be wrong but am going to go ahead using it until I hear otherwise. Seems safe.

Another question which is most probably going to remain unanswered. Trying to harvest user agents (platforms) as we plan some of our calls to be platform specific.

The code below just doesn’t work. Any ideas why not?

<txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberCustom2" value='<txp:zem_contact_serverinfo name="HTTP_USER_AGENT" />' />

Also can anybody offer any advise for the questions i had a few months ago?

zem_contact_serverinfo doesn’t return any content. It just stores information in an array used by ZCR to create the content of the email. Try this instead:

<txp:zem_contact_secret name="zemSubscriberCustom2" value='<txp:php>echo serverSet('HTTP_USER_AGENT');</txp:php>' />

Hi Ruud,

thanks for the snippet but somehow it doesn’t work. Will be having a meeting with the people who suggested this to us and will argue against it as the harvest will be a false for a number of reasons.

any advise for this?

zemSubscriberLists can be lists separated by commas. Use javascript to add the drop down value to a hidden value that also contains your default list name.

New version?

I’m thinking of releasing a newer version of Postmaster into the wild.

New features

Mega powerful search. Search on all postmaster fields (including custom1-10) with simple text searches and even grep patterns

Leave a list’s subject line blank and it will use the article’s subject line.

An option to automatically disable tinyMCE for the excerpt when “postmaster” is clicked. (this helps if you like to use the excerpt for a “text-only” version.

Performance with large subscriberDBs (2000+) is now much much quicker

Resubscription to new lists for existing users with updated club memberships (right now those sign ups are ignored.

The Pitch

I’ve already paid for this stuff out of pocket, and would love to recoup some of the costs. I’m thinkin’ of doing a soft ransom. ie I’ll release it anyway when these features are done probably late next week.

highly optional: fancy donate button

Any interest?

I would need that feature. How is it going your development. Is it finished? How do you think about releasing it?

Hrm… well, it looks like there hasn’t really been much interest in the new features, which kinda means I’m loathe to have manfre and myself support them. If there is more interest I may consider releasing the updated plugin.

Hi Dale

Will the new version of the plugin provide support for the pending release of txp 4.3.0 and its migration to php5.x.?

sad. :/ maybe i write something later to it.

another question: my newsletter form works fine. all tags do work. except the <txp:expires /> tag. the expire date is not displayed in the e-mail. is this my fault or a textpattern-issue?
