Thanks a ton and a half for your plugin, it’s real helpful.

I just had a hard time debugging a false phplist URL (the port was mismatched), a handy error message would be great here!

Have a great time!

The problem: “Error: failed creating formpost data .Check admin config options page.” was because of my password. I was entering it correctly, but for some reason this plugin doesn’t like a password that starts with “@”… maybe it just doesn’t like any of those special characters in the password?

I changed my password on phplist and then updated it in the plugin and now it works just fine. This is great.

“Error: failed creating formpost data .Check admin config options page.”

In my searching online I didn’t find anyone else who had published any fixes related to that specific problem. Hope you can help.

- added additional fields on the form — up to 5
- get an email notification when someone completes the form
- adds a spam check (a field hidden by CSS so that it won’t render in a browser but spam bots will fill it out)
- optionally specify which lists a form should submit leads to (no checkboxes display) — ex.

I also changed some of the messages so you’ll have to be careful when merging. Also I based it on an older version of the plugin, so some of your more recent changes might not be in there.

Enjoy!

I had to apply the fix above by Ben Hayes due to a clash with a different plugin.

Simple fix though.

Cheers.

I’ve patched the code so that it will work with ReCaptcha to safeguard against automated spambots. You can download the patched source code here. I have not tested it extensively, but it appears to work fine. You can contact me via my website if you have any questions.

“For anyone who has everything set up, but the plugin does not actually submit to the database, make sure of one thing. Remember, whatever REQUIRED fields you have in a PHPList “subscribe page” needs to be mimicked in the plugin.

I made the mistake of requiring a name, city and state in my “subscribe page” in PHPList but only required the name in the plugin. The result was that the plugin appeared to submit the data but it never made it to the database because of the “required fields” not matching between PHPList and the plugin.

BTW: Thanks for the killer plugin!!!

Thank you Steve James for that note!
Jesse please add this note to your instruction manual!
Best regards, Jure

Thanks Jure – I added a note to the page to help make this clearer. Thanks for your feedback!

I get a 404 on site/lists – and phplist IS there…

Something on MU htaccess that I am missing, perhaps?
