      ok, thanks a lot.

      As I tested it, I’m facing some interesting issues while doing some localization (FR).

      As you know I’m not a php or something dev, so may be an obvious stuff is blocking me.

      First of all I reinstall a fresh Modx from scratch using the UTF-8 tuto.
      - Things don’t looks totally right, as the character ° (degree) is not rendered by the manager (little black square).
      so it’s may be the visible part of biger issues..

      - When I wrote the French translation (pspad, utf-8) there is "something" going weird at the line:
      $msg_activate1 = "Thanks...


      The syntaxic coloraration is changing because of the " (double) as all others definitions before uses ’ (single) . (if I use a single ’ , pspad keeps the same coloration, meaning it’s considering correctly the definition..?)

      here is this part :
      $msg_activate1 = "Inscription à notre newsletter. <br />
      Cliquez sur le lien suivant afin de confirmer votre inscription. <br />
      Vous disposez de 48h pour confirmer, après quoi, votre
      adresse e-mail sera supprimée de notre base.<br/><br/>
      Merci.
      ";					
      					
      $msg_activate2 = "Cordialement,<br/><br/>
      					
      					Webmaster";


      Your original file keeps to good syntaxic coloration, but my newly created file not, and it crashes the install.

      As I’ll probably use Koops, I’d like to submit the FR lang file.. so any suggestion will be great.

      Regards,

        It really shouldn’t matter whether it uses single quotes or double quotes. The important thing is to make sure to escape any quotes of the same type that you use inside the text. I didn’t do anything with the language files, they are straight from the original.

          humm really strange.

          I just cant figure out where is the guilty character I could have forgotten.. will rent a couple of extra eyes grin

          But sure : When I replaced the " by a ’ at $message1 and 2, the install crashed..

            ok,

            Now it’s almost clear: Manager seams to works as it should.


            But no confirmation arrived..never. undecided
            We test over diffrents target adress.

            And also from the demo on the official KoopsMailinglist’s site...curiously nothing arrived neither. huh

            So... as the emails tested are not supposed to be black listed (except if .fr domain are...) what could be the reason huh

            As we do not have been able to confirm any request we dont have a list of subscribers. A pekk into the DB confirm the activation email are stored correctly...

            And my other question : if we had this list, do we see individually all the subscriber’s email ? And is it possible to delete one only?

            If koop can’t works, does RegisterX play with confirmation ? (I guess not).

            Thank a lot

              Some tips for non English mother tongue people (may be obvious for some but..)

              The testing of Koops are now complete, and I’ ve been working on a French lang file. (see FR support forum, traductions plz)

              The first tests using the default EN lang was not really cool because (see previous post) some confirmation mail (to activate) were never received.

              Even from the demo page of original Koops’site.


              • We had some pain with this and finally thought about some ISP ’service’ such as anti-Spam (integrated on the mail server) : some where activated, so some process on those mail server was blocking those confirmation mails to come through. As those mails where in English they actually look like Spam for French srv ( lipsrsealed)..here’s the reason.


              Now something else:
              If the MODx install is NOT at the root of the web server, Koops do not work, cause the activation link send to subscribers is badly build.

              Some modification have been done to the koopsmailinglist / fonction.php code to make it always compatible, whatever the folder of MODx is..



              Our next step will be, if possible, to add the same behaviour as the ’List’ button, for the non activated lists, in order to see (idely to deleted) individually each unconfirmed email.

                Hi,

                This is a very nice module, with an easy and simple subscribe procedure for visitors. I have installed the module and got some subscribers right away. But I also have an actual list which I imported in mail_subscribers, using sql import in Phpmyadmin. I imported id, mail and date (which I have set to 24 nov 2006). So far, no problems, but when I login and choose "Home" in the mailinglist module, only 2 subscribers are reported. When I choose "List" I can see 22 suscribers on the first page and at the bottom I can click links to other pages with subscriber data. However, none of these links actually work, I always get the same 22 subscribers when I click a link.

                How can I get this to work?

                  Due to many questions from our (may be futur) customer the KoopsML has been outrageously hacked, in order to had a full paginated list view of waiting for activation email (deletable one at a time or all at once).

                  As this snippet is good, we will also reuse some part to deal with pepole who contact thru some contact-form to collect and manage their email the same way koop does.

                  Thank again

                    I’ve just installed Koops, following all the instructions in the install file and after I hit the "create tables" button I got an error saying I should check the event log. The event log says "Redefining already defined constructor for class FCKeditor". I’m running ModX 0.9.2.2. In fact, this message pops up whenever I do anything within the module, but it doesn’t seem to actually cause a problem though.

                    One other problem I’m having is all the output from the snippet has these three wierd characters at the beginning: "". How can I get rid of them?

                      The error is because your version of MODx uses FCK, while the mailing list module has its own version that it uses. I’m sure it’s possible to make it use the default MODx editor, but I haven’t a clue how to do that.

                      Would you please do a "view source" and then copy/paste the whole snippet output block? I’d like to see where in the form those characters are actually coming from.
