Hi,

first a "thank you" for YANC and your time!

I did the upgrade to 1.5Beta2 today and have some issues:

1) In the sub- and unsubscribe mail the [Name]-Tag is not working, it just shows [NAME] instead of the subscribers "Name".
2) I miss the unsubscribe link automatically added to the mailings
3) In the subscriberlist I miss the column with the date when subscribed and...
4) The possiblity to SORT the list like it was in 1.4RC1
5) My Editor (XHTMLSuite) is not showing up any more where I edit the sub- and unsubscribe message like in 1.4RC1

To be honest, all these points are important for me ....

best,

Dirk

1) What is the exact html source of the subscribe message you receive? It might be a line break that's messing that up
2) You will have to use the [UNSUBSCRIBE] tag somewhere in you Template
3 & 4) will have a look at that
5) Jup, i'm not using the editor on subscribe and unsubscribe message. The reason for this is, that this message will be send in both html and text format, and when using html in a text message that will not go right.

Hi Adam,

thx for your reply.

1) What is the exact html source of the subscribe message you receive? It might be a line break that's messing that up
2) You will have to use the [UNSUBSCRIBE] tag somewhere in you Template
3 & 4) will have a look at that
5) Jup, i'm not using the editor on subscribe and unsubscribe message. The reason for this is, that this message will be send in both html and text format, and when using html in a text message that will not go right.

add 1) Its not a line break, its exactly what I had in 1.4. But.... its HTML!

Code:
<font size="1">
<p align="left"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Guten Tag [NAME],</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">die Anmeldung zum Newsletter der "XXXXX" war erfolgreich. Danke!</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Um die Anmeldung zu bestätigen, ist es notwendig, dem unteren Link zu folgen.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">[CONFIRM]</font> </p>
<p align="left"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">___________________
  <br /> XXXX
  <br /> XXXX
  <br /> XXXX
  <br /> XXXX
  <br /> Germany</font> </p>
<p align="left"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Tel: +1111
  <br /> Fax: +1111
  <br /> Email: </font><a href="mailto:xxxx@xxxx.xx"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">xxxx@xxxx.xx</font></a><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
  <br /> Web: </font><a href="/"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">http://www.xxxx.xx</font></a>
</p></font>

add) 2: Yepp I found that out - it should say that in the "help"-text btw :-). But, it seems not to work. When I make a test subscription and do a preview mailing to this account the unsubscribe-link is not working. A Javascript-popup with "No account found matching the passed hash" pops up. I also would like to have a unsubscription possiblity somewhere within the component or the module btw.

The URL might be helpful:

Code:
http://www.xxxx.de/cms/index2.php?option=com_yanc&act=subscriber&task=unsubscribe&cid=c81e728d9d4c2f636f067f89cc14862c-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e&no_html=1

add 3 & 4): Would be nice. Imo this is essential, esp. if you wanna remove orphans, or not activated accounts.

add 5): To be honest, I liked it much more before (in 1.4). The possibility to have HTML and TEXT totally separated, also to have the choice in the subscription module. It should not be the Mailreader but the USER to decide if the Newsletter is Text or HTML! For alot of subscribers this is a saftey reason as they don't trust, understandable, HTML! 2nd its also a question about "Design". I want the sub- and unsubscription mails in HTML.

best,

Dirk

1) that's what's you've configured in the YaNC panel right? That's not what i'm interested in, I curious about how this arrives at the client, and what the HTML looks like when the message has been received.

2) could be that it isn't working for a preview, since the preview isn't begin send to an email that is physically on the list.
the unsubscribe link will contain the subscriber id in an md5 hash. when you preview a mailing, this id does not exist, and therefor (logically) this link will not work either.

It looks perfect :-) Its exactly the same I had in 1.4RC1. Check it out if u like:- www.bartels-logistic.de/cms
Question, cause maybe I missunderstood it a bit, If i WON'T use HTML in the subscribe message, will the TEXT still be placed within the Main Newsletter Template?

2) could be that it isn't working for a preview, since the preview isn't begin send to an email that is physically on the list.
the unsubscribe link will contain the subscriber id in an md5 hash. when you preview a mailing, this id does not exist, and therefor (logically) this link will not work either.

Ok understandable. Is there a way to implement it WITH the ability to test the unsubscribe link? As german law is hardly strict I NEED to test that EVERYTHING is working... don't wanna send out a mailing with non working unsubscribe links and get in trouble with some "idiots" ....

Another point:

In the Newsletter Template there is a header included, this header is attached to the text mailing also.... kind a senseless imo :-)

best,

Dirk

1) Yeah, but looks can be deceiving Tongue line breaks will not show up when viewing a page, but they might be there causing the replacement to fail, so I would really like to see the output Smiley

2) no, there's no way to test that unless to send it out to a list with only you as a subscriber.

Not sure what you mean with this.

not sure on this either.
I'm not adding ANY html tags in YaNC itself. If the header is there twice, it must have been defined double somewhere.

Mmm :-) is the text by default inserted in the newsletter template defined in the template manager? I guess yes, will try it out to find out <bg>

I defined a HTML Template in the Template Manager, in this Template there is a header.jpg included. This header.jpg is also attached to the TEXT only mailout, and THIS is senseless :-) This is nothing I can do about. Its your fault ... ätsch <bg>

Understandable now? ;-)

Dirk

Ok, this should solve that issue:

open /mambots/yanc/core.php

find:
Code:
$_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'sendMailing', 'botTags' );
$_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'confirmMailing', 'botConfirm' );

replace with:
Code:
$_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'sendMailing', 'botTags' );
$_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'confirmMailing', 'botTags' );
$_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'confirmMailing', 'botConfirm' );

Yepp, perfect :-) Thanks :-)

I discovered one more, imo important, issue:

When I, the Admin, delete a subscriber in the backend (cause it never activated or is orphan or whatever :-)), the subscriber gets the unsubscribe mail! This is a NOGO imo. As this can in germany interpretated as spam!

Dirk

And another issue :-)

I have the unsubscribe tag in my main template.

I subscribe to the newsletter and get the confirmation mail.

I klick on the unsubscribe link in this mail and get the Javascript Popup that the account were removed, but the page in the background shows me:

Code:
Notice: Undefined property: date in /xxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx/cms/mambots/yanc/core.php on line 221

Notice: Undefined property: date in /xxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx/cms/mambots/yanc/core.php on line 222

Notice: Undefined property: lid in /xxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx/cms/mambots/yanc/core.php on line 231

When I click the javascript popup I get redirected to the newsletter page.

best,

Dirk

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue as the last post.

Notice: Undefined property: dbLetter::$date in /.....core.php on line 221
Notice: Undefined property: dbLetter::$date in /.....core.php on line 222
Notice: Undefined property: dbLetter::$lid in /.....core.php on line 231

This shows up on registration as well.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!!!!

turn down the level of error reporting a bit.
these are just notices and not real errors anyway.
