Please upgrade module for PHPNuke 7.7-8.0!!

Hi,

I am running PHP Nuke 8.0 and installed your module and was able to create a couple of newsletters after some fiddling about. But now I can't. I constantly get Newsletter Text validation error. I was really impressed with the couple that I did get to play with.

I read the forum posts on this issue and noticed that you weren't planning on upgrading it to 7.7+. It is however, the best Newsletter module I have seen and I really want to use it. Do you have any suggestions or do you know if I can upgrade from tiny_mce to some other HTML editor so that I can use your Newsletter module?

Regards,

Selina.

I have just not brought myself around to supporting these insecure versions above 7.6. Even 8.0 is screwed up! FB never listens and doesn't care, so my focus has been on working with Raven and Team to finally get 7.6 fixed up right so that the community has a base PHP-Nuke version that FB should have given us in the first place.

So, I will not commit to getting the HNL working on anything above 7.6, but it is on the list to look at some time.

I agree with Montego ... getting rn2.1 out the door will be a blast and a half for the After FB Nuke Community. All efforts need to go there atm.

I see in your new post that you have it working now. Is this still on 8.0 or did you downgrade?

hello!!

Nice to post here after all this time!

Montego: I'm now running nuke 8.0, and the first module to install of course was html newsletter.

It's running fine, but in my e-mail client there's no links working or images for the DeepBlue buttons to appear!!
All the links are pointing at something like:

Any clues??

Many thanks, and hope to hear from u soon Very Happy

Hey, I could handle that, it was something to do with the links in template.php rather than nuke Embarassed

I'm sorry for this Embarassed

But still there's something we came through some time before, and it came up again for me:

In the newsletter body, in the e-mail recipient it doesn't show any image included, and that happens in nuke 8.0 only thanks to the html editor implemented in this version. It removes part of the path to the image when writing the newsletter so in the body of the newsletter received you can see the famous red cross instead of the image..
Anyway, I will still try around this Rolling Eyes

cheers

kenspa,

It has been awhile. Hope all is well with you.

If you want me to take a look, PM me some admin credentials (would only need the HTML Newsletter module).

I am looking into it now, but one thing I noticed immediately is that you appear to still be back on version 1.2? At least that is what the configuration page is telling me (and the admin icon).

The upgrade to 1.3 should be painless... Wink

I installed 1.3.1 from the scratch after removing all files and sql of html v 1.2.

I created a newsletter, but when previewing, it brought the following err:

Quote:

Create Newsletter - Validate and Preview

THE FOLLOWING FIELDS FAILED VALIDATION:

Newsletter Text: Required field must be given a value

No matter what you put in the text field.

BTW, I downloaded nuke 8.0.3.3c (already patched to the latest) this morning and will install it and the HNL either later tonight or early tomorrow.

kenspa,

I am fed up with trying to get 8.0 installed! I have run into problem after problem with this piece of crap. Not sure I have the motivation to support these higher versions of garbage...

Have you tried turning off the advanced editor to see if you can create the newsletter then?

Site Admin/Owner Joined: Feb 12, 2005 Posts: 1360

Well, this is going to sound really stupid, but how about try this:

=== OPEN FILE ===

modules/HTML_Newsletter/admin/index.php

=== FIND LINE ===

Code:

$msnl_sModuleNm = "HTML_Newsletter"; //If you change the module directory, change every instance of this definition

=== ADD AFTER ===

Code:

$nuke_editor = 0;

See if that fixes the "editor" issue....

You're nº 1 Very Happy

It would work definitely on nuke 8.0 removing the html editor implemented in nuke 8.0, so it'll pass validation and images are displayed on the newsletter received in any email client...

The only thing at the moment is to reorganise and fix the tables on my theme, the thing that cost me weeks to fix on the html v 1.2 files Very Happy

Thank you again, I really appreciate it.
