Oracle of ONE1

Updated the plugin code for compatibility with the latest version of Wordpress. Wordpress change the wp_mail function to require that the body contain content. The ezmlm list did not include content in the body. A simple fix.

Version 1.0.0 is released to the community on October 11, 2010. It is available for download from the WP plugin directory. This release adds two new options and places usage information on the plugin’s settings page.. It has been tested with WordPress version 3.0.1 and should work without issue for all WordPress versions greater than 2.5.

Changelog

2. NEW:    Add option that sets the form’s title
3. NEW:    Add ability to use an alias in place of the list’s email address

Usage is covered in the readme  and on the ggis-subscribe page.

What is it?

ggis Subscribe gives authors an easy way to insert a form that performs emailing list subscription management.

Features and Requirements

• Wordpress 2.5 or greater
• An email list to subscribe to. Currently supports:
  • ezmlm lists – subscribe by sending email to listname-subscribe-your=address.com@domain.com
• Designation of success page

Setup

Using ggisSubscribe is a very simple matter of performing a short setup and then inserting a simple code in your post.

1. Download and install plugin using standard means. Download here.
2. View the ggisSubscribe options from the Settings menu.
3. Add the email address of your mailing list. If you have more than one list, use commas between each address.
4. Enter the URL of your thank you page (next page)
5. Enter the URL of you main subscription management page.
   • Yes. Create and publish your subscription management first and then finish with your ggisSubscribe options.

Usage

The subscription form may be inserted on a post, page, or text widget by including the following code in your text.

[-%ggis-subscribe %formtype "%listname"-]

Here is an explanation of the fields:

• ggis-subscribe – identifies the code (required)
• formtype – identifies the form type
  • 0, default – full subscription management form
  • 1 – subscribe only form , requires “listname”
• listname – identifies the list to include in a subscription only form

See the demonstration forms.

In a Widget?

A subscription form may be placed into the standard text widget using the methods above. For widget use, I suggest using only formtype=1, the short form.

To Do

1. Add template tag output
2. Add other list manager types

Here are working examples of the plugin ggisSubscribe. You may subscribe to any of the lists shown here. Extra spaces were added between the [ ]and the -. The correct code should be of the form [-ggis... -].
