I see there is a mailing list plugin but it hasn't been worked on
in 3 years and never made it to version 1.0.

Is it functional in 1.4 ?

For me it is not working well, I upgraded Geeklog to 1.4.0 and now the link to Mailing Lists in de Admin is not working anymore. Also creating a new list is giving the same error.

The functions for the users seems to work fine, I only can not admin the Mailing Lists anymore.

If someone know a solution, please let me know.

Thanks.

I have test site using 1.4 and it works. It was a fresh install. Maybe try an unstall and reinstall.

If I do a uninstall is all the data then secure. I have already a list of members and I do not want to lose this.

I will make a back-up ofcourse, and try this next weekend.

Thanks.

The uninstall and install is not solving the problem, it is still giving the same fault. I have a next problem, I can not restore the database back-up, so the lists is completely gone now.

If someone have a idee how to fix this, please help. It should be great if someone can make the lists plugin final, it is still a beta version now. I could not find any plugin with the same functionality.

Thanks.

I've got this installed, and it will send mail, but the HTML formatting is getting completely stripped out. I have looked everywhere through the files, and made sure all HTML settings are set to "on" or "1", but no dice. Are those of you who have it working able to send HTML mail?

thanks,

John

I can not seem to install this plug in to save my life. I put everything in its respective directory but when I go to /admin/plugins/lists/install.php and click on the install button the page will refresh and it will still say installed: no and enabled: no. There are no errors generated in my log and the SQL tables are not created. Any suggestions?

Forgot to mention that sometimes it sends plain text, and othertimes it sends visible HTML code. It's also backslashing all the quotation marks.

If somebody could just let me know that it does indeed work to send HTML mail, I'll keep troubleshooting it.... thanks!

That's what I get. Did a fresh install to GL 1.4.0sr4. The install seemed to go smoothly but I can't access list admin.

To bad. This is a plugin that adds a whole knew demension to Geeklog.

The error message is generated by on of these two blocks of code in /admin/lists/index.php . $_LISTSTXT[3] is the error message. Looks kinda' like the second block to me. But I don't know php.

Near the top of file:
Text Formatted Code
if ( isset($_USER['uid']) && $_USER['uid'] != 1 ) {
    $results = lists_admin_getdata($ml_id, $mode);
    $nrows   = DB_numrows($result);
    if ($nrows <= 0) {
        $mode = 'none';
        $retval .= lists_message($_LISTSTXT[3]);
 


Near the bottom of file:
Text Formatted Code
            if (!empty($id)) {
                $ml_id = $id;
                list($index, $table, $fields, $submissiontable) = PLG_getModera
                DB_copy($table,$fields,$fields,$submissiontable,$index,$ml_id);
                PLG_approveSubmission('lists',$ml_id);
                $results  = lists_admin_getdata($ml_id, $mode);
                $display .= lists_message(sprintf($_LISTSTXT[52],$ml_id));
                $display .= lists_admin_edit($results, $ml_id);
            }
        } else {
            $display .= lists_message($_LISTSTXT[3]);

When you get that second page, there should be a button below

"installed: no
enabled: no"

The button should say "install."

Click on that.

Just a wild guess since I'm not familiar with the plugin but it sounds like it requires register_globals to be "on".

HTH

OK, I put an .htaccess file--wanted to password the directory anyway while I mess with my new Geeklog install.

Inserted:

php_flag register_globals on

No change. Giving it a try My host probably disallows it.

I think I would have to learn to rewrite the necessary parts with "session_register" syntax anyway. It is suppose to be far more secure.

But it is a moot point for me. I discovered my host does not allow email lists within its user accounts. You have to use their pay-per-piece list.
