Support/Comments for TXNewsletters

You need to replace a modx file,

Linked to on this page http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,24195.45.html, just have a read through the posts

thanks.

When I read all, I saw the same question but not the answer...

Again, thanks
John Steed.

It’sthe 13th post on that page by Paprikas, he links to a file for you to download.

Is there any way to get capcha into this ?

Ok, this Module is really great. Almost works like a charm.

I just encountered one problem with grubby URLs. Instead of using MODx’ great "makeUrl"-function the module and snippet create URLs via HTTP_HOST oder just by adding a "/". If you do not have your MODx installed in the base directory it will not work.

I have replaced some lines of code and some thing do great now. Whenever I found all the lines, I let you know and will post a new version if that is ok with FranckT.

Greetings,
Flo

I’ve tried to get TXNewsletters work, followed all the steps of README.nfo
But when I try to send a newsletter the following error appear:

[tt]Error during sending !
Some newsletters have not been sent correctly.[/tt]

The subscribe snippet works fine.

MODx version: 0.9.6.2
Version codename: rev 4077
PHP Version: 5.2.3

Can anyone give me a suggestion to make it work?

Thanks,

Nico

Hi, I’ve just tried to run the module using php 5 and modx 0.9.6.3 but I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’<’ in C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\htdocs\modx\manager\processors\execute_module.processor.php(114) : eval()’d code on line 1


Any ideas?

Edit: Sorted it out.

i’ve just installed TXNewsletter, but still have a couple questions:

my first question is about the folder structure. according to the README file, the basic structure is:
+ newsletters (directory)
      | + newsletter 1 (page)  // with a newsletter template
      | + newsletter 2 (page)  // with a newsletter template

i’m not sure if i understood that right: are these newsletters ("newsletter 1" and "newsletter 2") again folders where i have to create new pages or do i have to change the content of "newsletter 1" and "newsletter 2" respectively when i’d like to send a new mail to my subscribers?

my second question is about creating a custom newsletter. the default subscriber form looks the following:
  <field type="subscribe" name="Subscribe" mandatory="no" display="yes" filter="yes">
    <label>Choose newsletter(s)</label>
    <errormessage>Please choose one newsletter at least.</errormessage>
    <listtype>checkbox</listtype>
    <values>
      <value id="TXNewsletter1">Newsletter 1</value>
      <value id="TXNewsletter2">Newsletter 2</value>
    </values>
  </field>

must the value id fields correspond to the page titles within modx? or how is the link done between subscibers and modx pages/folders (whatever they are; see my first question). because i’d like to have 5 different newsletters. one of them would be kind of a default newsletter that is send to all subscribers (they will not be able to select/deselect this one), while the other 4 newsletters would stand for the four different divisions within our club. that should be possible, isn’t it?

thanks for your help,
lukas

Franck,

I’d like to make a feature request:

Would it be possible to split the name field into first and last name?

If not, can you point me in the right direction regarding your source code? I’ve spent a few hours looking through it and it’s tough to even see where to begin...

Thanks,

HB
