[Plugin: Subscribe2] E-Mails not formatted, no images

@mattyrob,

I’m sorry, that didn’t work…
Copyied into my “custom code” section of my theme in the field “header code” the following:

<?php
add_filter(‘s2_email_subject’, ‘my_filter’);
function my_filter($subject) {
if ( strstr($subject, “Digest Email”) ) {
$subject = “Ihr täglicher Newsletter”;}
return $subject;}
?>

Isn’t that correct? It seems to, because the mailing was sent out with it’s default subject. Can you help again?

But the good news is: mail works fine! Correct posts grabbed, every hour sharp, not problems with the mailing as it seems. Great! Thanks or that!!!!
And that means that the cause of the problem was that irritation with time and date – I hope I could help you with that info in return ;))

Kind Regards,
Lutz

@mattyrob,

okay, found the exact problem of that bug: I just switched back again from hourly newsletter to daily and with that changed the date of the next cron job to tomorrow! I get I didn’t get that on my former tests because I only watched the time.
By the way: This has nothing to do with the selected time an if this is before or after the local time (UTC or site time) – even if those are AFTER the actual time of the setting changes (and with that it would be time enough to send out the next newsletter today), Subscribe2 will plan the next cron job for tomorrow!
Hope that helps finding the bug and correcting it ;))

Nevertheless: There’s still the problem with the custom subject line for the newsletter mails: the code I mentioned above isn’t working, there must something be wrong with that, maybe with the way I embedded it in the header custom code section of my theme or the HTML style type or whatever … Please do not forget to help me, fixing that ;))

Again: Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Lutz

@mattyrob,

alright, that makes sense, too ;))
Maybe you can give a red hint in the next version so that every new user knows, how the tool is working.

Code: OMG!
Can I edit the subject in the HTML version of Subscribe2 – I would buy this one nevertheless? If not: How can I create a new plugin?

@mattyrob,

holy sh*t! Almost crashed my WordPress dashbord!
It’s total design has been disrupted, error messages, panic!
Nearly made it to delete my “nice” little plugin …

I did the following:

code=

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Subscribe2_Custom_Subject
Description: changes the subject of the newsletter mails
Version: 1.0
*/
?>

add_filter(‘s2_email_subject’, ‘my_filter’);
function my_filter($subject) {
if ( strstr($subject, “Digest Email”) ) {
$subject = “Ihr täglicher Newsletter;}
return $subject;}

Put that with the editor into a file called “subscribe2_custom_subject.php”, loaded it up to the ftp server, into the plugin folder, activated it.

Then the wp dashboard layout was disrupted and disordered, so I deteled the folder from the ftp server. Then got these error messages:

Warning: fopen(/is/htdocs/wp11032600_05RGMQV5HY/www/wp-content/plugins/custom-subject/Subscribe2_Custom_Subject.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /is/htdocs/wp11032600_05RGMQV5HY/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3373

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /is/htdocs/wp11032600_05RGMQV5HY/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3379

finished wp and logged in again – then no more messages were displayed.

To make it short: I must have made a mistake somewhere.
Can you help again, please?

So much for creating my own plugin … ;))

@mattyrob,

thanks again! Don’t know if it’ll work (next run: tomorrow 4pm UTC), but at least I’ve got no error messages or nervous breakdown by the wp dashbord ;))

Today I’ve got to do some other work but tomorrow after 4pm I’ll start with the customization of the newsletetr mails with your HTML version – I really do hope that I can make that by myself! I’m really verry sorry for bothering you that much! But I hope that you might have got some ideas what to optimize in your next program versions ;))

By the way: I’d suggest to put all those topics into the Pro version (I mean customization of the subject, including and positioning pictures and so on) and take some 49$ for the Pro app. I guess lot of people like me would be happy to pay that amount if they can customize the newsletter easily with it and not neading additional plugins!

And you should position links to the Pro version more prominent: I didn’t know that it exists unil you told me. Other authors have placed hints the a pay version of their program on almost every possible page of the installation and description process ;))

Kind regards,
Lutz
