Update your version automatically or visit http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ggis-subscribe

Version 1.0.1 is released to the community on December 17, 2010. It is available for download from the WP plugin directory. This is a maintenance release that simply replaces the current mail() function with that used internally by WordPress. It has been tested with WordPress version 3.0.3 and should work without issue for all WordPress versions greater than 2.5.

Changelog

1. UPDATE:    Change mail function to use the WordPress function wp_mail()

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

Changelog

1. FIX: Shortcodes within an inlined post are now processed. Uses do_shortcode().
2. FIX: Comment metadata now shows correct number of comments made.
3. NEW: Change code convention to shortcode which allows use of the standard shortcode functions. Old insert methods are deprecated but will still work.
4. NEW: Recursive inlining now allowed when using new shortcode styling. Protection against infinite loop coded.
5. NEW Added the showcontent attribute to control display of the post’s content.

Shortcode convention

Users will mainly notice that the code used to inline a post has been updated to the shortcode convention.

[ggisinlinepost id="%id" attribute1="%attr1" attribute2="%attr2"]

The previous code convention while deprecated will still work: [-ggis-inlinepost id=”%id” titletag=”%tag”-].

Usage is covered on the ggis-inlinepost page.

QuickDown basically creates a link to the Remository page along with a variety of document information formatted within a table. Instead, I am usually interested in having a direct download link inserted inline with the article’s content.

There are 2 files that need to be modified in order to get this working properly. One of them is the Remository core file p-classes/remositoryRepository.php. The other is the plugin file quickdown.php.

Remository core change

The function makeCheck() is the one needing changes in remositoryRepository.php. Below are the original function and the updated function.

// ORIGINAL
function makeCheck ($id, $func) {
  $interface =& remositoryInterface::getInstance();
  return md5($this->Time_Stamp.$interface->getCfg('absolute_path').date('md').$id.$func);
}

// MODIFIED
function makeCheck ($id, $func) {
  $interface =& remositoryInterface::getInstance();
  return md5($interface->getCfg('absolute_path').date('md').$id.$func);
}

Notice that the only change is the removal of a UNIX timestamp. makeCheck() is used in the creation of the direct download link creation and in its verification before allowing download. This is a bit different than the approach I would take but it is effective. If you wanted to make a permanent direct download link, you would remove all references to date or time in the obfuscated check code.

The download link created by the above modified code is good until the next day begins. Is this too long? For your situation perhaps but not for mine. Regardless, please note that the download link duration should outlive your cache.

QuickDown plugin change

Next, I wish to change the formatted output of the plugin and to have it include a proper direct download link. I have taken some shortcuts in order to make my changes to the original files easier to follow and not insert bunches of my code into the original code. All of these modifications are done to the file quickdown.php.

First, I added the makeCheck function.

function makeCheck ($id, $func) {
  $absolute_path = '/my/absolute/path/remdocs';
  return ( $absolute_path . date('md') . $id . $func );
}

Instead of creating a Remository instance, I simply added my absolute path to the remository documents (quick and dirty).

Next, I added a new plugin usage code {inlinedown:ID}. This completely separates my approach from the author’s and allows usage of the plugin as originally intended.

In the botQuickdown() function at line 57, I added:

$row->text = preg_replace('/{inlinedown:.+?}/', '', $row->text);

Then at line 86, I added:

if (preg_match_all('/{inlinedown:.+?}/', $content, $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER)) {
  //Get IDS
  foreach ($matches as $fmatch) {
    foreach ($fmatch as $match) {
      $match = str_replace("{inlinedown:", "", $match);
      $match = str_replace("}", "", $match);
      $output = $this->ggis_createLink($match, $this->params);
      $content = preg_replace("/{inlinedown:$match}/", $output, $content);
    }
  }
  unset($matches);
}

Finally, I added my own create link function named ggis_createLink().

function ggis_createLink($idparam, &$param){
  $inline = TRUE;
  //Getting File-info from Database
  $database =& JFactory::getDBO();
  $id = intval($idparam);
  $database->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__downloads_files WHERE id=$id");
  $filelist = $database->loadObjectList();
  if ($filelist) {
    $file = $filelist[0];
    $url = 'index.php?option=com_remository&';
    $func = 'download';
    $url .= 'func='.$func;
    $url .= '&id='.$idparam;
    $url .= '&chk=' . $this->makeCheck($idparam,$func) . '&no_html=1';

    if ($inline){
      $output = '<a href="'. $url .'">';
      $output .= '<img src="components/com_remository/images/download_trans.gif" border="0" align="middle">';
      $output .= '<b>'. $file->filetitle .'</b> (' . $file->filetype . ' ' . $file->filesize . ')</a>';
    }else{
      $output = '<table>';
      $output .= '<tr><td><a href="'. $url .'">';
      $output .= '<img src="components/com_remository/images/download_trans.gif"border="0">&nbsp;';
      $output .= '<b>'. _DOWNLOAD .'&nbsp;'. $file->filetitle .'</b></a></td></tr>';
      $output .= '</table>';
    }
  }
  return ($output);
}

Final result

The final result is an inline direct download link. This link shows the download image, the file title, the file type, and the file size. Depending on your styling, it should look similar to the image below.

Hopefully, you may find this modification of Remository and QuickDown useful for your purposes.

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

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... -].

Example 1:

This is the full subscription management form
[ - ggis-subscribe 0 - ] or [ - ggis-subscribe - ]

Example 2:

This is a short form to subscribe to a single list only
[ - ggis-subscribe 1 "act@easttosa.org" - ]
