rossruns on "VML - Unsubscribe Problem"

rossruns — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:45:24 +0000

I dug into the code and found out I could fix this by replacing the form code for the unsubscribe slightly. Instead of taking the form code from the forms.php page, you need to pull the unsubscribe code from unsubscribe.php (and take out the php calls). It should look something like this:

<form action="[Your site address]/[VML directory]/unsubscribe.php" method="post"> <label for="email">Email Address:</label> <input id="email" name="email" type="text" /> <input name="list" type="hidden" value="[Your list ID value]" /> <input id="unsub" name="unsubscribe" type="submit" value="Unsubscribe" /> </form>

omarmoss on "Viewfinder Mailing List - Importing CSV error"

omarmoss — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:29:01 +0000

Warning: fgetcsv(): enclosure must be a character in /home/website/web/subscription/common/functions.php on line 49

From what I understand, I need to save a comma seperated file containing email addresses. Does the list need to also be line broken?

I have tried many different ways to save the csv file using notepad, 'all filetypes' in ANSI, Unicode and UTF-8, none of which seem to work. (also straight out of Excel as csv)

Could someone please explain to me exactly what the format of the csv file should be in in notepad as well as if commas and/or line breaks are necissary.

Thank you very much. So far this seems like a great tool :)

First of all thank you so much for a brilliant mailing list, I'm very impressed with how easy and friendly it was to install.

Everything is working perfectly except I get the following error when I test the unsubscribe feature.

Error: No subscriber/list specified

any ideas?

Thanks

alexeiz on "Importing csv - again!"

alexeiz — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 05:51:07 +0000

I really would like to know, did anybody succeed to import csv file of prospect into the mailing list?

Here is a small test list I tried:

first_name,last_name,email
Alexei,Zoubov,azops@azsystems.net
Alex,Mems,azmems@azsystems.net
Bob,Sheppard,mships@alexeiz.com
wsMarina,Kras,mkbiz@marinak
Alexei,Zoubov,azsite@alexei.ws
Al,Bad,adtik@azsystems.net

The first error I got was:

Error: incorrect field name (0) used or non-existant field

That's obviously incorrect, I looked at the script both in common => functions.php and in common => list.php

I'm not a big time programmer, but I've written quite a few scripts of comparable complexity. My first impression was - this particular section of script just can't work!

THe variable $key is supposed to be found in $subfields array, but the key here is numeric! for example: key = 0 - $dat = first_name. So, we should be looking for $dat, not
$key.

If I'm wrong, please correct me. I discovered more strange lines (like in the function parse_csv_file, that generates an error, saying that $enclosure should be a character.)

May be I got some old version that wasn't debugged?
Is there a new one?

Sincerely, Alexei

Do you have the option for Recommendations switched on or off?

Have you picked the categories the book reviews picked in?

Anatis on "Book Review Plugin version 1.3 (WordPress 2.3)"

Anatis — Sat, 03 May 2008 12:44:03 +0000

Hi Lee,
I'm giving the plugin another shot at the moment, but I cannot seem to get the reviews to display in any kind of format.
I've installed the latest version, I can post / edit reviews, I can add images etc.
I've put the book_reviews_page.php into my main theme directory.

Reviews show up like normal posts, no author ID, nothing.
Where do I have to modify anything so that reviews use the template you provided? Because right now they don't seem to.
I've read your FAQ and sorry... way over my head and it's not referring to the sample you provided either, so I'm totally lost atm.
Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Is the page online somewhere I can look at, either way, can you drop me a line via the contact form and I'll take a look.

bob on "Book Review Plugin version 1.3 (WordPress 2.3)"

bob — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:10:57 +0000

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes, the code is between tags as I copied it from the file single.php in the download to the default theme single.php by cut and paste in the theme editor.

admin on "Book Review Plugin version 1.3 (WordPress 2.3)"

admin — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 22:30:22 +0000

Is it between php tags, e.g.

< ?php echo br_get_book_author($id); ? >

(nb. get rid of the spaces after the < and before the >)

bob on "Book Review Plugin version 1.3 (WordPress 2.3)"

bob — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 04:50:36 +0000

I added the code from single.php to my default theme single.php but the author displays as br_get_book_author(6) not author name.

birdyoshikawa on "Viewfiner Mailing List - UTF possible?"

birdyoshikawa — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 12:32:28 +0000

Hey Lee, sorry to bug you. I really want to use this Viewfinder if I can... I'm trying class.phpmailer.php and function.php to change the problem, but I just can't get it to stop converting my kanji... any other guess? thanks.....

birdyoshikawa on "Viewfiner Mailing List - UTF possible?"

birdyoshikawa — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:03:34 +0000

Wow! The code I punched in worked on this site. They were this kind of chara: (I'll add spaces) & # 1 2 4 7 3

Shouldn't this be an easy thing to fix?

birdyoshikawa — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:02:08 +0000

Hey. Thanks. I tried it, but no go. The email that's sent changes the japanese characters to: 区西麻布

It seems like this should be solvable... I'm going to keep looking at it. I'd love to use your VML....

admin on "Viewfiner Mailing List - UTF possible?"

admin — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:15:58 +0000

Hi Bird

There's not an easy option to switch this on, it's set to iso-8859-1 (western) by default.

You can modify this by adding:

$mail->CharSet = 'shift_jis';

(or UTF-8 for general unicode support) before the line

if ($mail->Send()) {

in the functions.php file in the 'common' folder (should be around line 193.

birdyoshikawa — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 06:30:21 +0000

I changed the text in the subscribe and unsubscribe files to Japanese, and those emails go out perfectly in kanji... so it's just the newsletter emails that can't show UTF... ?

Is there something I can do?

bird

birdyoshikawa on "Viewfiner Mailing List - UTF possible?"

birdyoshikawa — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 04:29:35 +0000

The script works super brilliantly, except my Japanese kanji turns to html chara... is there anyway to get this to send UTF encoding? Thanks so much!

Drop me a line via the contacts page so I can get you to send me your single.php file and I'll insert the link and test.

Hi Lee. I've done everything exactly as you said and although I now have a "send to a friend" link on my page, it doesn't work. Could you take a look at it? Many thanks

You should be able to:

1. open the index.html file included

2. copy everything between and including the script tags

3. paste it into single.php where you want it to appear

4. make sure recommend.php is in the same folder as single.php

sorry for the multiple posts. I've been trying to get the url right. not sure if I have. My code looks like this:

onclick=window.open("recommend.php?loc='+window.location.
http://blog.cleangreennappy.co.uk/wp-content/recommend/
+'","","height=280,width=260,top=150,left=200,toolbar=no,
menubar=no,location=no,status=no,resizable=1"); title="Recommend this to a friend">Send to a Friend');

is this right? (have copied only this extract of the code to avoid it showing up as a link, as above)

CGN on "Send to a friend"

CGN — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:01:17 +0000

sorry, got a bit mixed up there. This is what I've put in the single.php file, just before the get sidebar command

script language="Javascript1.2">
document.write('Send to a Friend');
</script>

CGN — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 09:52:54 +0000

Many thanks Lee, am trying to do that now.

I've got the single.php file and uploaded the script as it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Not sure what I should do - am a real novice with this sort of thing - should my code look like this:?

Also trying to get some money over to you on paypal, but struggling even with that this morning - it shoould be with you soon!

You need to create one on your web host and then use those details to put into the config script.

admin on "Send to a friend"

admin — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 09:10:47 +0000

Two things:

1. you need to specify the path of the recommend.php file, as it is this is fine if it's in the same directory as the file that displays that page, otherwise you need to put in a relative path or full URL.

2. There are a lot of \ in the code that generates the link in the JavaScript, which may be caused if you paste it into a CMS window, you need to add it to the PHP template file (single.php) that generates the page rather than pasting it into the content box (I notice you're using WordPress).

Hi
I've downloaded and installed mailing list, and have reached a standstill as I don't know how/where to specify my database. I was assuming that I would be collecting email addresses from the site, although I also have some to upload. Sorry if this is a very basic question, but how to I specify the database?

Thanks for your help

Hi Thanks so much for your great downloads. I've just added the recommend to a friend script. Added the php into a recommend directory, but then when I add the script to my post, it doesn't show up at all - it's there in the code, but nothing in the post. I'm not sure if I have to specify the location of the recommend.php file? If so, and this is really basic, please excuse me - I'm pretty new to this. Would you mind having a look at http://blog.cleangreennappy.co.uk/2007/10/11/the-real-cost-of-real-nappies/#more-14 to tell me if it's obvious what I'm doing wrong?

(I put the script down at the bottom, after 'Posted by Esma'.

I got installations problems with this VML form.

When I try to install it I get some codes viewed in the install.php and below all of them is the form where I actually put in the info to install the form.

My local server that I'm using "WAMP5" has php and mysql on it. I don't know what the problem is.
