Automatic Updater

Following many requests from community members on the Forum and Issue Tracker, a new Automatic Updater has been introduced to provide a web-based interface for upgrading phpList, accessible via fresh ‘Updater’ entry in the main menu. It can be used to upgrade to all versions following this release (if you are using a Release Candidate of phpList you can now use the updater to upgrade to phpList 3.3.7 stable).

Notes on using it:

The Database upgrade mechanism is unaffected by the new Automatic Updater and you will be prompted to use it following successful codebase updates, as before.
Regardless of where your phpList config file is, it won’t be overwritten.
As with manual updates, plugins which you have installed yourself will need to be reinstalled following the update (settings for those plugins in the database are not affected).

Features and Usability Improvements

Added support for importing subscriber attributes which include field separator characters, such as tab or comma, when the values are stored within quotes in CSV files — thanks to Duncan, see the pull request.
Move the options provided by plugins on the ‘Edit subscribe page’ page to the end of the form — thanks to Duncan, see the pull request.
Allow a plugin to have pages that can be accessed using a remote processing secret — thanks to Duncan, see the pull request

Fixes

• Fix for URLs which are stored incorrectly (truncated) with click tracking enabled — thanks to Duncan, see the pull request.
• Fix “clicked” on “Campaign statistics” page to show total clicks — see the pull request.
• Avoid PHP notice ‘undefined index’ when sending is blocked by a plugin — thanks to Duncan, see the pull request.
• Convert only the numeric part of the php memory limit to avoid php issuing a notice — thanks to Duncan, see the pull request.
• Fix the “Powered By” image dimensions and link on the ‘About’ page.

Community-made

This release is the work of Duncan Cameron, Philip Day, Michael Altfield, Daniel Aleksandersen and other Open Source community members, as well as phpList Ltd. developers.

The post phpList 3.0.7 Update Released appeared first on Orange Internet Solutions.

phpList 3.0.5 is now available. This version fixes a few smaller issues and adds a new filter in the listing of campaigns. 

phpList is an open-source newsletter manager. phplist is free to download, install and use, and is easy to integrate with any website. phplist is downloaded more than 10000 times per month.

Change Details

There is no immediate urge to upgrade, but if you encounter one of the issues fixed it might be useful. Probably the most pressing issue fixed in this version is the duplicated To: header line. This issue may cause your mails to be rejected by some servers.

Using the latest version’s config file is advised as several options have changed and could cause clashes. Please Note: The config.php file supplied is a “quick Start” file and is ideal for new or less confident users, whilst the config-extended.php file has all the options available, but will take longer to set up and is for more advanced users.

The default message editor needs enabling before it appears, to do so:-
Login to your admin pages, hover over Config>click Plugins and then click the thumb down icon alongside fckeditor to enable the editor.

The post phpList Update 3.0.5 released appeared first on Orange Internet Solutions.

phpList 3.0.1 this version fixes a few minor issues and updates the way members of a list are displayed.

phpList is an open-source newsletter manager. phplist is free to download, install and use, and is easy to integrate with any website. phplist is downloaded more than 10000 times per month.

Changes Details

They’ve made a change in the way members of a list are counted. Before any subscriber who is linked to a list was counted as a member. They decided this was incorrect, as really only confirmed subscribers should be counted.

So, this version has changed the display of members of a list and will only consider confirmed subscribers to be a member. It will still allow you to view the subscribers who are not confirmed and act on them.

This is likely to cause a “drop” in the number of subscribers on your list, but that is mostly because the new count is more accurate.
