[plugin] PBTS_XTRA - Mulitple Content Areas in Template

[snapsize]

Hello,

I'm pretty sure I ran the installation properly, everything seems to be working out except for one thing.

I know I've got the path to the plugins ok cause the two original plugins show up as links in the right column but the PBTS_Xtra plugin doesn't show up. Nor do I get an editor for the messages. I get text areas but no editor.

I've got the pbts_xtra folder inside the phplist/admin folder. This is what my path in the config file looks like:

Code: Select all

define("PLUGIN_ROOTDIR","plugins");

.

Everything is basically the way the installation specifies.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have followed the instructions provided but this plugin appears to not be installed properly. To begin with, I have no plugin menu on the right side.
Where can I look? Someone please point me in the right direction.

Updated: Ok, I found out I needed to uncomment the root directory definition in the config file. I now see the default plugins, but not pbts_xtra

Have figured out how to solve this problem? Please let me know how you fixed this issue.

Cheers.

I was wondering if it is possible to implement tinymce or fckeditor with the built in PBTS_Xtra editor?

[djcrazysk8er]

So I just installed the plugin with PHPList 2.10.9. I think I have it all installed correctly but when I click on the pbts_xtra link and then click on any of the 3 links. Only the header loads. Check my Error log and I am not seeing any errors. Any ideas?

Turns out its the new version of PHPList that I am having a issues with.

I'm having the exact same problem.. I'm also using the same path in the config file like you did. Were you able make the plugin work??

I added the following code to the top of the sendemaillib file:

Code: Select all

<?phpinclude_once dirname(__FILE__).'/plugins/pbts_xtra/pbts_xtra.inc.php';

Is that the right path??

Hey everyone, I'm new to register, but I have been working with my phplist site for about 4 months now.

The pbts_xtra plugin is great, I have it working and showing up in the right side, and I can even use the editor sort of.

Heres the deal. When I installed pbts_xtra I followed the instructions from http://pizzabytheslice.com/pbts_extra-instructions.htm

After following the first set of intructions to install pbts_xtra I am still able to create new messages to send, save them as a draft then reopen them from the pbts_xtra menu. However when I modify my sendcore.php file, and try to use the pbts_xtra editor as my default, my send message page disappears. Heres a screenshot. (Notice the tabs lol, been looking everywhere for a solution...


So, before you ask, I have already tried the following without success.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4059 --> Went through the original install forum looking for other similar problems.

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=23344 --> Clivester had the same problems, but nobody posted a proper solution on their thread.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24501 --> Replaced lines 1034 and 1040 with the previously commented ones. (iconv)

viewtopic.php?p=30998#p30998 --> Commented out httprequest line of /admin/lib.php and changed fckeditor.html with previously commented code for script. (Honestly didn't think would help cause FCKEditor is off in config.php)

http://mantis.phplist.com/view.php?id=15299 --> Some other post said it may have had something to do with this, but this seems like an error with FCKEditor and thats disabled.

Also, I do have asp_tags off in my php configuration.

I am running PHP 5.2.6 with MYSQL 5.0.67. Ifa phpinfo() page would help, please let me know and I will get you a link.

Hope someone out here has seen this and can help. Thanks again to everyone in advance, Ulysses.

hi ulyyoung,

i had the same problem. i followed all the steps and couldn't figure out what the deal was till I looked at the folder and file permissions. For some reason they were all at 700, I changed them all to 755 and everything worked out fine.

Installed PBTS_XTRA and have the editor working with the messages and am now testing the messages by sending them to myself.

PROBLEM: HTML Messages do not contain the Values I've entered for the Fields I have defined in my Template. My HTML Messages look as if I'm just sending the Template.


Just to back up so I can detail the entire problem:

1. Upload a template through the Templates Interface - Save Template
2. Navigate to Send a Message, and the Format tab. Select my Template, Save.
3. Go to PBTS Extra, Edit a Message, select Edit for my new message.
4. I enter my field values and select Save.

QUESTION: Can Field Values have HTML tags?

5. Select Preview and make sure all field values are showing up in the correct sections of the template = awesomeness
6. Select "Edit this Message with standard phpList Editor (scheduling, etc.) »"
7. HTML message shows up in the Message <textarea>, nothing in the Text Message <textarea>
8. Select button that says "Send Test Message"
9. Page reloads to tell me the message was sent.
10. Check My Mail - 2 RESULTS

TEXT EMAIL: Contains the contents of my Message <textarea> and nothing else.
HTML EMAIL: Contains the contents of my Template but none of field Values - just the references. I.e. - [PBTS_XTRA name="HelloMessage"]

I hope I gave enough information for someone to be able to help me!

Thank you to anyone that responds.

Does this plugin still work? I did the setup but I just get a half blank page when I install it and try to send a message.

Hi ,

Hope you are doing fine. I used the pbts in my site. However, I could not see the whole editor. When I checked the screenshot, it shows 5 tabs as from "view tags" to "edit". The editor I added only shows 3 tabs view tags, preview form and edit. The "edit tags" and "highlight tags" tabs are missing. I could not update the template.

Am I missing something ?

I'm probing the plugin, but when I want create a new message, doesn't show the textarea for write new message.

See the image attachment.

Thanks and Regards.

You don't say which version you are running, but Item 5 in This Topic may be your problem.

Hi everyone,
I have the same problem. Actually I have phplist version 2.10.19. I tested what Dragonrider says but doesn't work. Has anyone solved the problem?

If finally can't create a template with multiple content with phplist, anybody knows another program to do this?

Thanks!

[Dragonrider]

I've emailed the original poster and asked if he was still able and willing to support this plugin but unfortunately, he's moved on in the last 5-7 years since writing the plugin and is unable to help now.

I'm sorry to say this seems to signify the end of this plugin.

Update May 21 2013: We hope to share some great news on this plugin shortly!
