Criz Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Hi Folks, I am just installing a neat contribution that you can find here: http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads.php/co...ions,741/type,3 It looks like a good addon and I encountered some issues when installing, while I am installing I will post here a few things I ran into. 1) do not just copy the product_info.php into your directory. I kept my old one and it seems to work fine. Maybe someone can explain me what the 'new' file in the contribution ads. 2) Some files use a specific 'class' for example in newsletter_subscription.php, it looks like this: include "includes/classes/snoopy1.class.php"; if you don't have this class defined it will generate error, so or delete this line or put // before the line to disable it. For now it seems to work fine, just take a look at the images, some need to be added or updated. And of course don't forget to edit your own text.

Criz Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 An update while installing: When using the update function in the newsletter admin, that will synchronize the data between the customers table and the subscribers table, I got an error message, stating that p.customers_blacklist was not found. After deleting p.customers_blacklist, on line 214 in the file newsletter_update.php everything worked ok, and it updated the subcribers info with the customers info.

Criz Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 For now finished installing, disabled a few things, changed some lay-out issues, edited some text and it seems to work fine now.:D If anyone has a question, just let me know.

Guest Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Hello we will release soon an "updated eip version" of our contribution very soon. 1. Some functions to check the iP address and host were not included in zip causing errors. (snoopy class) 2. As well some help comments were not saved in latest sql script and a field was missing too. 3. you do not need to replace the product_info.php. We apologise for those little mistakes It is a module in development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Before I installed it I wanted to find out if this module actually allows HTML to be added to the newsletter? Can anyone confirm this as it doesnt mention in the docs. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We apologise for those little mistakes It is a module in development You can drop the snoopy.class completely (if you do not zip check)... you do not need it as osC has its own e-mail checking (against DNS servers) implemented.

francis Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I've just loaded up this add-on and have a few questions: 1. In the zip file there appears to be missing unsubscribe.php which is linked from the default e-mail sent to customers. Does unsubscribe.php exist and need adding to the zip file or does this line just need deleting? 2. The link from the default e-mail to customers that states "Visit our Subscription Center to edit your interests at: http://[webaddress]/subscription_center.php?action=view&email=[e-mail address]" does not show the required information from the link. However, if you were to go to http://[webaddress]/subscription_center.php and then type in the e-mail address, the page is displayed with the details. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just my system? 3. In admin under "Update table" what does it do and what do I have to do to make it work? I assume it compares e-mail addresses from registered customers and brings those that are not in the newsletter tables into the newsletter tables. The help link does not work so I was wondering what I have to be careful with. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Just an added note to the previous message. I've just tested the newsletter and note that an HTML newsletter just returns the HTML code in e-mail programs such as Outlook, however, it does return the correct pages in online e-mail programs such as Hotmail. Do I need to turn something on or make an adjustment to make sure the html page is returned and not the html code? I had a similar problem with the built-in OSC newsletter manager (see http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php...er=asc&start=0) but cannot work out what needs changing in this add-on. Any help much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 could someone that has installed this let me know the address where I could take a peek at it before installing? I just want to see what this page looks like before I install/play around with it. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyw74 Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 After installing this contribution I recieve the following error from the admin section: 1146 - Table 'catalog.TABLE_NEWSLETTERS' doesn't exist select count(*) as total from TABLE_NEWSLETTERS where module = 'newsletter_subscribers' I have had a look through the sql file that was included, and their is no mention of a Table called Newsletters. Has this been left out or have a done something wrong Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elari Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 seems you hav not added in application_top a line that will look like define('TABLE_NEWSLETTERS','..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyw74 Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Yes, that makes sense but, This is the only thing we are told to add to application_top.php // define the database table names used in the newsletters project define('TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS', 'subscribers'); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martigan Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I installed it and mared out the snoopy.class but now it sends 5! subscription emails to the customer! More having this problem? please let me know! :? Regards erik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doby48 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 In response to an earlier post (I didn't see an resolutions to it here yet.) "Visit our Subscription Center to edit your interests at: http://[webaddress]/subscription_center.php?action=view&email=[e-mail address]" does not show the required information from the link. However, if you were to go to http://[webaddress]/subscription_center.php and then type in the e-mail address, the page is displayed with the details. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just my system? In the includes/newsletter.php the path to this needs to be motifed slightly. A portion of code needs to be changed from: subscription_center.php?action=viewl&email= to the following: subscription_center.php?action=search_email&email= Quote Remember... Pillage BEFORE you burn!

wizardsandwars Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 unsubscribe.php is a file contained in my "Newsletter Auto Unsubscribe" (in the 'Others' contribution section) contribution that I believe this author is integrating with their contribution. You can get the missing file from there, however , i'm nto sure if they made chenges to it to get it to work with this contributiuon.

luca75 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hi, I download your good mod, but now I want redirect unsubscribe link in infobox to unsubscribe.php and not to subscription_center.php Can u help me ? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doby48 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I did this as well, but since the unsubscribe is an auto-unsubscribe there is not a box for a person to fill in their name. I had to make a few modifications to both scripts for them to work how I needed them. For unsubscribe, I created a form on the page that grabbed the email address value from the URL if present otherwise allows for a person to enter their email address in a form on the page. The in the unsubscribe done, I modified it so that it would delete a users from the subscribers table (which is people who are not regsitered but were receiving the newsletter) you could also modify it so that it just disables that table, but I found that if a users is disabled in the subscriber table only, then they are unable to resubscribe again. Next thing I did was to modify the subscribe contribution so that all users could sign up from the same place weather they were registered or non registered users as the process was slightly different. I have completely done away with the subscription center. If you need help completing any of these steps, let me know and I can send you the files. Quote Remember... Pillage BEFORE you burn!

defender39 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I get an error in newsletters_subscribers_view.php....when I mouse over to edit a subscriber it doesn't work. If I manually change the cID in the URL then it works...I have to think the error lies in the code below. Anyone have a clue to fix this. This is for the Newsletter & Subscribers contrib found here... http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,535 So far it looks good but I havent tested a newsletter yet. Please help me out with the following code if you can. if ( (is_object($cInfo)) && ($subscribers['subscribers_id'] == $cInfo->subscribers_id) ) { echo ' <tr class="dataTableRowSelected" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand'" onclick="document.location.href='' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS_SUBSCRIBERS_VIEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('cID', 'action')) . 'cID=' . $cInfo->subscribers_id . '&action=edit') . ''">' . "n"; } else { echo ' <tr class="dataTableRow" onmouseover="this.className='dataTableRowOver';this.style.cursor='hand'" onmouseout="this.className='dataTableRow'" onclick="document.location.href='' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS_SUBSCRIBERS_VIEW, tep_get_all_get_params(array('cID')) . 'cID=' . $cInfo->subscribers_id) . ''">' . "n"; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender39 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Found a fix.. change onclick to onmouseclick... this is twice in the page... this does not yet fix the radio buttons but you can do the action and then edit the individual user.
