thanks mosey but no luck… i think its a problem on my side… ill be re-uploading WP once again to see if it gets resolved… wish me luck!

hi mosey… just tried uploading mailpress 1.5.1 and nothing, same error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/miguelr2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailpress/MailPress.php on line 93

could there be a problem on my side that i am not aware of? i am actually having problems with other scrips that require access to the .htaccess file and since WP is using those files, my other scripts are not working well, they seem not to like WP…. i posted that issue last week

hi mosey. sorry for the late reply…. subscribe2 only provides a text box for a basic email blast… i tried adding the html code of my newsletter template to it with the instruction POST inside it, so that the WP blurbs load within it and when the blast was sent out, it was sent out in plain text and not in html… and so all of the code shows in the email surrounding the headlines…

i don’t know, but I think this is not going to work at all and I may have to build the newsletter from scratch everyday in my other CMS as I post to WP…

I am trying to install MailPress as my last option and the system is still giving me the same error message as posted earlier, even though my hosting company upgraded my account with the latest version of PHP

any other suggestions? will be greately appreciated….

in a nutshell, all i am looking to do is to be able to send the blurbs of my latest post blogs to my subscribers using a custom template.

i want to be able to change the template, schedule the blast and be able to send both text and html according to the user’s option. (currently i am using a newsletter system that allows the users to pick which format to receive, either text or HTML).

I want to be able to send the blurbs and pix just like the homepage and not just the headlines…

hi mosey… so i tried it but its not what I was expecting… it has only three options for sending the newsletter and none of them contain the plain text/html. also, the digest is sent out daily and my newsletter is sent out mo-friday… i don’t want subscribers to receive duplicates on sat and sundays… i tried mailpress but it only took me as far as the activation… it gives me this error message when I want to activate the plugin… do you know what’s wrong? will appreciate your help.

ok, this is what I do (or plan to do, because I use the same method but for a different site that does not use WP and only a flatfile CMS and want to see if the same method can be used if I change my platform to WP)

– I schedule posts to drop in my homepage every day from 3 AM to 5 AM, with a total of 7 posts);

– While I schedule posts to the website, the newsletter template (which is, in itself different and independent from the site), is populated with these items automatically (when they drop at the scheduled times, they disappear from the newsletter template and I have an empty template for the next day);

– this gives me a chance to build the newsletter blast before the stories get published (in other words, the day before). I just pick up the HTML code, paste it into the mailing list system and schedule it to be sent out the next day at 7 AM.

– and that’s all… I want to be able to do the same thing: ie, have a different template for my newsletter, to be able to select stories that I have scheduled in WP and to be able to preview it and schedule it to be blasted out at a specific day and time… can I do that with this plug in or should I use subscribe2?

by the way, the newsletter only sends out the blurbs of the posts not the full item… in other words, just the items as they appear in the homepage… readers would then lick the “read more” link to access the full story

hi mukaumedia… question: this plugin works for scheduled posts? ie: if I schedule stories to drop in the future, will I be able to add those to the newsletter, preview them in the newsletter template and schedule a blast for the next day after all of the stories have dropped?

and also… does this newsletter plug in allow for plain text version too? i appreciate your help on this in advance!
