FAQ

Requirements
  • Requires PHP5 for list management functionality.

If your web host does not support PHP5 and/or curl, please contact your host and see if they can upgrade your PHP version and activate curl; generally this can be done, and at no cost.

What is the plugin license?
  • This plugin is released under a GPL license.
What is Mad Mimi?

Mad Mimi is the easiest email marketing tool out there. It’s built from the ground up to be simple and usable.

Do I need a Mad Mimi account to use this plugin?

Yes, this plugin requires a Mad Mimi account.

How do I use the `apply_filters()` functionality? (Added 1.1)

If you want to change some code in the widget, you can use the WordPress add_filter() function to achieve this.

You can add code to your theme’s functions.php file that will modify the widget output. Here’s an example:

function my_example_function($widget) {
    // The $widget variable is the output of the widget
    // This will replace 'this word' with 'that word' in the widget output.
    $widget = str_replace('this word', 'that word', $widget);
    // Make sure to return the $widget variable, or it won't work!
    return $widget;
}
add_filter('mad_mimi_signup_form', 'my_example_function');

You can also modify the error message by hooking into mad_mimi_signup_form_error in a similar manner.

1.4

Lots of improvements in this update.

  • Added option for adding text before form
  • Changed method of accessing data from curl() to WordPress functions wp_remote_get() and wp_remote_post()- now if users don't havecurl()` on their servers, they still may be able to use the plugin.

  • Fixed success page redirection
  • Fixed Undefined offset PHP notices
  • Fixed display of HTML code in success message

1.3

Structural improvements in Version 1.3 are thanks to Leo Germani.

  • Created a class, so (almost) everything is inside it. No more globals named $user or $api.
  • Changed the way settings are saved based on the best practices:
    • Use of register_setting() and settings_field() (which takes care of the nonce and everything)
    • All options in a single database entry
  • When displaying a widget, the plugin now checks if the settings are configured properly, otherwise it won’t show the widget.
  • Added code structure for internationalization of plugin. Details to come.
  • Wrapped “thank-you” signup message in <div class="mad_mimi_success"> for better formatting control.
  • Added mad_mimi_signup_form_success filter for modifying the form submission message.
  • Added rel=nofollow to the optional link to Mad Mimi.

1.2.2

  • Runs a check to see if curl_init is supported by the web host; it’s required for this plugin
  • Fixed readme.txt links to MadMimi

1.2.1

  • Critical upgrade – fixes widget not displaying in Widgets page

1.2

  • Added support for PHP4 servers. The plugin won’t have the user list management functionality, but everything else should work.
  • Fixed potential error when submitting a form without a selected user list
  • Added form id to input id’s to allow for better <label> handling
  • Added notice for users without PHP5
  • Added wpautop() formatting to signup success message, meaning that it will add paragraphs if none were provided

1.1

  • For those experiencing the implode() fatal error (it even sounds bad!), this update should fix it thanks to an updated mimi_signup_lists() function in madmimi_widget.php.
  • Added error message check to make sure the error message displays on the form that was submitted, not another Mad Mimi form.
  • Added checks for whether or not there are any lists, and if not, add the contact to the All Audience List
  • Added three hooks for add_filter(): mad_mimi_signup_form modifies the form if used by shortcode or in the widget, mad_mimi_signup_form_widget modifies the widget output (including before and after the form), and mad_mimi_signup_form_error modifies the error message. Refer to the FAQ for more information.
