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

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.?

I would think so. I’m using it with bleeding edge SVNs and it hasn’t hiccupped.

some things i found out, they are maybe all obvious but not in the plugin-discription. i post them for the forum search or so:

1. you can use textpattern-tags in the subject line. like <txp:title />, <txp:custom_field name="date" /> etc
2. the <txp:posted /> tag contains the datee the email is sent, not the date the article was published. so the <txp:expires /> tag does not work properly also.
3. you can expand the maximum limit of characters in the subject line in the database for extensive use of textpattern-tags.

another question:

how does the unsubscribe link work?
in the sql database has every subscriber a special unsubscribeID. how can i use that?

thanks, but i want to have such a link in the e-mail.

like when i get an e-mail about new posts in this thread: “You can unsubscribe by going to http://forum.textpattern.com/misc.php?unsubscribe=41256”. without a zem_contact_reborn-form

Unlike this forum, site subscribers are not as computer savvy. Also the forum unsubscribe link is just topic subscriptions not forum ones. Aren’t you worried that you’ll be getting people clicking the link by mistake?

Oh I see

thanks. now that creates a link like that.

example.com/articleurl/?uid=15b3da4d42f62ab599fe977f4289ab91

but nothing happens. the related subscriber remains in the subscribers’ database. do you know which url exactly has to be in front of the uID? the url of the article from which the e-mail was createrd does not work.

thanks for your help,
steffen

OK here’s how unsubscribe works.

You make an unsubscribe article that contains this tag somewhere. <txp:bab_pm_unsubscribe /> explained here
You copy the url to that article into the “unsubscribe url” pref.
You create the link as you have already done.
When a page is loaded with the subsciber ID in it as an urlvar, the subscriber will be removed from the database.

This is verified to work, I’ve done it countless times.

is it true that you cant choose a list-form any more?
the pull-down menue is just empty..
[txp 4.2.0 & 4.3.0]

i now hacked myself through the database and did the job, but i guess for some newbie this means trouble..

[Edit:]

ok. found the issue
form name has to begin with
newsletter-

The download links on the author’s website for the plugin’s dont seem to work anymore, the links are 404.

Would anyone be able to help me out and send me new links or better still just send me the 2 plugin text files?

Many thanks

Thanks so much, was expecting such a quick turn around.

I’ve disabled the old postmaster plugin and library and installed and activated the new mem_postmaster ones.

It seems really slow to load the Extensions tab, and when i try and do a export the csv just contains

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 53 bytes) in /home/sportsti/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 278

Is that something wrong with a my server?
