Update for Drupal 5.x

I think the module can be regarded as being abandoned.

I would also be interested in a version of this module that is compatible with Drupal 5 as I would like to run PHPlist. I'm looking for a solution for my band's site. I'd lke to have a free standing email subscriptions list on pages like myspace, sonicbids and other sites we use (indepentent from our drupal site) The most important part of this mail subscriber would be that we can collect the subscriber's zip code. This will allow us to mail subscribers in specific cities when we have events in their area.

PHPlist has the ability to do this, but there doesn't seem to be any solution for integrating it in a drupal 5.0 site other than massmailer. If anyone knows of any solutions to look into, please share.

Also if anyone else is interested in this soultion and is willing to chip in please message me.

I think I speak for everyone who contributed to integrating this with Drupal/CiviCRM or ever tried to get it working on their site in saying it was hell. I suggest looking into either:

Email Newsletters
Mail
mailman mailing list admin
Mailman Manager
Organic groups
Simplenews
CiviCRM/CiviMail

I Don't know IF lam asking the wrong question here !!!!!!!!

But I have to Ask why drupal doesn't upgrade the code???

It will be a great feature in drupal ,,, honestly I am using drupal because of phplist and I am Stock with the Old version till now becouse of that...

I like drupal and its great features but I think that all of drupal users need that script ....

now there is anew version of drupal and new version of phplist but we cannot use both together ..

please if there is any way to drupal to update the script or at least explain the conflict ,, I will be grateful..

@mike_loard - This is not part of Drupal as such, it is an addon module, developed by some 3rd party.

Mike_loard: Please mark issues properly. There's no patch to be found in this thread, and it's deceiving to have the patch (code needs work) status on this. Setting it to active.

Hello Everyone,

Located at this URL: http://www.keptinconsulting.com/node/7 is a zip file of this module for version 5.x. I obtained this file originally from http://drupal.org/node/216178 which was posted by emprise_star. I had to take care a couple bug fixes but the module does work with 5.x. I will find out how I can get this submitted as an official release and if necessary take over this module for 5.x purposes. It will be awhile before I will look at 6.x.

as I posted in the other thread, ur version doesn't take in account that some ppl use a prefix for all drupal DB tables

and ur version doesn't rly do anything on my 5.x install, when I try to make a list, it simply tells me that it didn't work and something went wrong like "!!! An error occured. The list admin may not have been created."

when I go to manage messages, I get "warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /customers/stevedj.be/stevedj.be/httpd.www/sites/default/modules/massmailer/massmailer.module on line 1171."

so it's not really doing anything on my install :(

after manually adding more shit into the tables, I get "warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Cannot execute using backquotes in Safe Mode in /customers/stevedj.be/stevedj.be/httpd.www/sites/default/modules/massmailer/engines/phplist/phplist.module on line 862."

[UPDATE] the next day... nothing works anymore lol o.O [/UPDATE]

I think I might just go with importing RSS feeds in PHPlist, coz editing this module will take me far more time :(

[edit] yeh, so I'm an idiot and I didn't notice this module didn't support 5.x

but!!! I found an awesome way to have phplist load in RSS feeds from my newposts

just made 3 views for my newsposts, one that lists all newsposts, one that list only the published ones and one that only lists the unpublished ones
then I edited phplist code a bit so it always loads RSS feed items as being "new", rather than remembering which ones already have been sent (making it easier to have like an event in 5 months, and remind every1 once a month about it)
then I just installed the scheduling module, so I can set a time to automatically unpublish my nodes, and voila!
now I have a nice view of all the newsitems, another view with only the active ones that are included in the mailing list and an archive of news that isn't being sent to the mailing list anymore

my boss loves me now and I'ma get a raise, maybe I'll actually make over 9 euros an hour now :x [/edit]
