Newsletter Made Simple - Problems with confirm mails (links)

[okulyth]

Oh, I forgot to answer your question: I havn't tried it jet, had no time cause I am busy with other clients right now, and to be hornest I am a bit scared to update the existing dev and have to rebuild all the stuff afterwards cause 'something' is not working any more ... but propably sooner or later I have to ... I tell about the results when I did it.

Ah, ok  :D  Some miscommunication on my part here. I was looking for the Newsletter Made Simple zip file, the cmsms one I have. Thanks for the help anyway.  

So, question then is: where do I get the zipfile for Newsletter Made Simple, latest version in forge? Can you help calguy1000?

I've made some (experimental) changes in the SVN version of NMS to try to correct the & issues, but have not created a new release of it yet.  I'll try to get to it this week.

You could download the svn version and see if that improves things for you.

@calguy1000
I've tried to download the svn version, but that is a bit to much for me. Look forward to your new release, happy to try it out.

Download from:
NMS current svn

@alby
Thanks, just downloaded it. Can I just delete the .svn directories and upload the remainder to the modules site directory? As said before, no experience with svn related stuff at all.

[calguy1000]

Yeah, you can ignore the .svn directories

[Der Rudi]

Ok, that seems to take care of the & thing.

But, my 'Subscription confirmed' email looks like this:

Code: Select all

Thank you weer ikke for subscribing to the mailing list .  Your registration has been confirmed.  At any time you can unsubscribe from this list by following this link http://www.novion.net/tests/cmsms10beta6/index.php?mact=NMS,m5,unsubscribe,1&m5uniqueid=a0a0a58830643dda9a13cd5b0d772965&m5returnid=57&page=57.  You may also change your preferences by following this link: <a href="http://www.novion.net/tests/cmsms10beta6/index.php?mact=NMS,m5,preferences,1&m5uniqueid=a0a0a58830643dda9a13cd5b0d772965&m5returnid=57&page=57">Preferences</a>

So the last link is not displayed as a clickable link but as code! I'm using the default templates etc, Sendmail in CMSMailer, Outlook 2003 on XP.

Also, I would like to use the module $parameters like so in the page after subscription form is submitted:

Code: Select all

Thank you {$username} for subscribing to the following newsletters:
{foreach from=$lists item=list}
* {$list}
{/foreach}

You should receive an email shortly to confirm your subscription.

This outputs the text literally. Is this possible to do, and if so, how?

Thanks for all your help sofar!

[calguy1000]

I fixed this in svn

it was actually a one line change in action.confirm_email.php

[Der Rudi]

Thanks calguy1000 for the fix in svn; it works.

Would this be possible also:

Hi,

I have +- the same problem with Newsletter Made Simple 2.1.1.

I received this link in confirmation email :

Code: Select all

http://mysite.com/NMS/15/confirm/1a7a13e60d4153ff9547abd3ceb09dec/

This link opens the homepage and the email isn't confirmed.

It works fine with NMS 1.0.1, which send this kind of link :

Code: Select all

http://mysite.com/index.php?mact=NMS,m7,confirm_email,1&m7uniqueid=ba610d7bfd65deaa021d178f5f86e086&m7returnid=15&page=15

Any idea ? Maybe an htaccess problem ?

Same problem here. When the URL is SEF the e-mail isn't confirmed. Please help!
