It doesn’t do this out of the box, but because it uses the ZCR API you could make this happen in the following way…

1. Make a signup ZCR form that does no signup but that copies the sender.
2. Include in that form a link to a second form with the email address and other info in urlvars

Very cool idea, but I’m stuck on step two: How do I extract the email address (or any ZCR field) into a secret field for the email?

Here’s what I have in my initial ZCR form:

<txp:zem_contact_email label="My email address"/>
<txp:zem_contact_secret label="Click here to confirm" name="verify" value='http://mysite.tld/subscribe-confirm/?verify=????'/>
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send Confirmation"/>

How do I get the email address entered in the zem_contact_email field into the value for the URL? Am I doing this all wrong? Is there another way to extract the email address into a URL that appears in the message?

Thank you, Dale, and anyone who reads this and responds!

Hi!
I am trying to send HTML emails of articles using PostMaster, it used to work in another server (apache)

But I am using it now in a new server (windows) and doesnt seem to work.

Isntead of the HTML email I get this:

Multipart_Boundary_x94f4dcacdb4d436a80ede015f04cec1cx
followed by all the HTML in text…

What is going on???
thanks

hey mrdale

requesting the fancy new version of the plug-in you mentioned here.
is / did it happen?
donation wouldnt be the problem, name your price.

[Edit]
Plus id like to mention a fancy feature.

i just added 2500 subscribers and there was no chance to add them to a list right away.

plus i tried to hack myself throught the plug-in and change the number of listed subscribers per page.
cause now its limited to 20, what is kinda less (i now steped through 125 pages to change the subscriber-list of each subscriber..).
well, i failed, there was a variable $limit, but it didnt change anything :(

thanks for reply.

I think I need this plugin for a client situation moving from WP to Txp (we should be happy about those conversions). They had a little WP plugin that enabled people to subscribe via a simple form (like you would a newsletter, but it’s not a newsletter) to receive email versions of blog articles whenever they were posted. Nothing fancy needed. Though also the ability for somebody to unsubscribe.

The other thing is I need to be able t load all the current subscribers, but I’ll come back to that after I can get the initial process working.

Is this plugin capable of something like that, anyone?

I understand that attachments are not supported in postmaster, but is there a way to load an image from the server in the body of the email?

I tried using <img src="http://www.mysite.tld/images/320.jpg" width="230" height="300" alt="image" /> but the image did not load.

Does the image load in the browser?
Do you have a .htaccess rule for images like for files?

# Inhibit direct file downloads
RedirectMatch 403 .*

colak · 2011-07-31 15:03:26

Hi Markus

Thanks for replying.

~~I have no rule in htaccess for images and the image does load in the browser without any problem. In the email the whole html linking to the image is visible meaning that the html is not parsed.~~

I have figured it out. Needed to use <txp:bab_pm_mime type="html" /> as stipulated in the manual

I installed this, uninstalled Postmaster, and it looks like I still have a Posmaster tab, which I assume is the new one? It shows my lists and my subscribers… however I can’t see anywhere in the Write tab to let me send anything. Help?

colak · 2011-08-05 08:43:10

If you use the latest version of txp, the tab is hidden under postmaster on the right column. Note that it only appears in saved articles.

WebKat · 2011-08-05 16:15:14

Ah ok, I wasn’t looking at a saved article. Gotcha.

WebKat · 2011-08-05 22:54:35

I’m having a problem since I migrated to this version. My email form is set up like this (I’m not using the bc.. tag because I can’t get it to only include what I want.):

=======================
OPALCAT.COM NEW ARTICLE
=======================
Dear <txp:bab_pm_data display="name" />,
You are receiving this email because you have requested to be notified when new articles are posted at opalcat.com. 
A new article, "<txp:bab_pm_data display="title" />",  has been posted. 
You can read the article here: <txp:bab_pm_data display="link" />.
=============================================
Unsubscribe: <txp:bab_pm_unsubscribeLink type="text" />

It is sending out mail that looks like this:

=======================
OPALCAT.COM NEW ARTICLE
=======================
Dear ,
You are receiving this email because you have requested to be notified when new articles are posted at opalcat.com.
A new article, "",  has been posted.
You can read the article here: http://opalcat.com/Fun/game-review-dixit.
=============================================
Unsubscribe:

So it is leaving out their name, the title of the article, and the unsubscribe link. Why? How do I fix it?
