[mod] Redirect to custom 'Thank you' page

[phader]

I've created a custom subscribe page and I'd like to take the user to a certain URL after they registered, instead of the default thank you page. How do I do that?

Thanks,
phader

You can change this in the phplist code if you want to redirect your users.

in subscribelib2.php at line 288 you will find

Code: Select all

# personalise the thank you page
  if ($subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"]) {
    $thankyoupage = $subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"];
  } else {
    $thankyoupage = '<h3>'.$strThanks.'</h3>'. $strEmailConfirmation;
  }


You can try modifying something in there...

Thanks. I added a header() call at the appropriate place and it seems to work. Now I'm trying to do the same with the "You've been unsubscribed" page. I can't seem to find the file to edit in order to change that page as well.
Any hints?

Thanks,
phader

You can find that in the function

Code: Select all

unsubscribePage($id) {

in 'index.php' at line 541

I have a similar setup, but would like to leave room for expansion. My subscribe form sits off the side of my shop pages (Each shop in a different directory on the server). But regardless of which shop I am in, it goes to my one and only thank you page, set up during install.

Is there a way to 'case' one of the fields of the referring page to decide which shop's thank you page to jump to?

All help appreciated.

Please share how you modified the code. I would like to do the same. Sorry, steep learning curve on the php -- don't know how to use the header () call. Thanks

I got it to work a different way, not too elegant but it does the trick...

Open your phplist database in PHPMyAdmin or similar.

Open and browse the phplist_subscribepage_data table

edit the "thankyoupage" entry to something like this

Code: Select all

<h3>Thank you for subscribing to our newsletters.</h3>
Your email has been added to our system. You will be e-mailed shortly with a request to confirm your membership. Please make sure that you click the link in that message to confirm your subscription.

<script language="javascript">
  <!--
  window.location="/newsletters/thanks";
  -->
</script>
Click <a href=/members>here</a> to return to the members' area

don't know how to use the header () call.

Something like

Code: Select all

header("Location:http://yourdomain.com/yourpage.php");

You can find that in the function

Code: Select all

unsubscribePage($id) {

in 'index.php' at line 541

can you give some examples how we would add our own redirect page to this code ?

I've created a custom subscribe page and I'd like to take the user to a certain URL after they registered, instead of the default thank you page. How do I do that?

Spamcollect developed a mod for redirecting to a custom subscribe, unsubscribe and preferences page. See: viewtopic.php?t=16808

EDIT:
And dimasko suggests this mod:

subscribelib2.php file line 297

something like:

Code: Select all

# personalise the thank you page
  if ($subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"]) {
    //$thankyoupage = $subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"];
   header("location: link");
  } else {
    //$thankyoupage = '<h3>'.$strThanks.'</h3>'. $strEmailConfirmation;
   header("location: link");
  }

works for me

Spamcollect developed a mod for redirecting to a custom subscribe, unsubscribe and preferences page.

Has anyone gotten spamcollects mod to work with version 2.10.5? I messed around with the index.php, but the code on spams' site and the code in 2.10.5 are not the same.

Line 575:

Code: Select all

 $res = '<title>'.$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].'</title>';
  $res .= $data["header"];
  $res .= '<h1>'.$info.'</h1>';
  $res .= $html;
  $res .= "<P>".$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].'</p>';
  $res .= $data["footer"];
  return $res;

I've managed to create a custom thank you page, but now since I want to add another newsgroup that is now a problem since I want another custom page and it seems that is not possible?

I just went through this exercise for the new version 2.10.9. Here’s the update with proper line numbers for this version:

For the custom landing page after the user clicks the confirmation link in the confirmation email:

In /lists/index.php, comment out the following lines (576-581):

Code: Select all

$res = ".$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].";
$res .= $data["header"];
$res .= ".$info.";
$res .= $html;
$res .= "".$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].";
$res .= $data["footer"];

Add in the following line immediately after these lines:

Code: Select all

$res = header(’Location: URL to thanks-for-confirming-your-subscription page‘);

In other words, make it look like this:

Code: Select all

/* $res = ".$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].";
$res .= $data["header"];
$res .= ".$info.";
$res .= $html;
$res .= "".$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].";
$res .= $data["footer"]; */
$res = header(’Location: URL to thanks-for-confirming-your-subscription page‘);

(Replace URL to thanks-for-confirming-your-subscription page with the actual URL. Note the single quotation marks. If you use double quotation marks, it will not work, because everything after the // in the URL will be treated as a comment.)

For the custom landing page after the subscribe form is filled out:

In /lists/admin/subscribelib2.php, comment out lines 299 and 301, and add lines immediately after these lines, so the section now looks like this:

Code: Select all

# personalise the thank you page
if ($subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"]) {
// $thankyoupage = $subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"];
header(’Location: URL to thanks-for-subscribing page‘);
} else {
// $thankyoupage = ".$strThanks.". $strEmailConfirmation;
header(’Location: URL to thanks-for-subscribing page‘);
}

(Note that you are adding the same line twice, once after line 299 and once after line 301. Also note again the single quotes.)

I’m having a tough time figuring out the unsubscribe custom landing page. I think the code is somewhere areound here:

Code: Select all

if ($userid)   
      $res .= '<h1>'.$GLOBALS["strUnsubscribeDone"] ."</h1><P>";
// $res = header(’Location: URL to unsubscribe confirmation page‘);

    #0013076: Blacklisting posibility for unknown users
    if ($blacklist)
      $res .= '<h1>'.$GLOBALS["strYouAreBlacklisted"] ."</h1><P>";
    $res .= $GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].'</p>';
    $res .= $data["footer"]; 
//$res = header(’Location: URL to unsubscribe confirmation page‘);
    return $res;

Things get complicated here compared to spamcollect's directions because of the blacklist check code. Anytime I uncomment my lines and comment out the lines directly above them, it completely breaks my custom subscribe and confirm landing pages! So without a lot of random trial and error, I'm stumped.

Nice work!
I have tried the SpamCollect mod it works for the thankyou page fine but the unsubscribe page doesn't work in 2.10.8 or .9 , it seems you can modify thankyou page and subscribe page throught the config page, just design the page in a html editor and insert into header and footer areas of the page.
If you have any luck with that Damm UNSUBCRIBE page please let us know, there have been numerous posts about this,
It would be really nice if the developers were to add a Unsubscribe page template to the Subscribe page area.

Cheers

Modifying these pages can be done in config but this mod is useful when you are trying to use phplist within a CMS such as Joomla. My original setup was just the customized html inside of an IFRAME, but the custom code mod here allows me to put the subscribe form onto an actual Joomla page itself which is much nicer.

I am not sure why the unsubscribe page is so much trouble. The blacklist code in there is certainly part of the issue, since the code is now so different from spamcollect's mod. I'll keep working on it.
