Free-pick categories [Solution]

no_email@example.com (cahlin) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:09:57 GMT

I have a case where I don't want people to have subcats since I have like this
Cat1: CompanyInfo
Cat1.1: DivisionInfo
Cat1.1.1.: GroupInfo

So I want people to get CompanyInfo, DivisionInfo and GroupInfo, but not another groups info.
(I do have CaPa, so people can't read the wrong info, but still, to reduce mail)

To do this I just found "pncats.js" and just commented away code with /* and */ like this:

function post_notification_cats_init(){ /* var boxes = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); var tocheck = ""; ... [lots of code]... if(boxes[i].checked == true){ tocheck = boxes[i].id; //From now on this is the new String } } } } */ post_notification_running = false; }

Not much to say, just a Swedish translation.
Feel free to (ab)use it in any way

Hebrew Translation

no_email@example.com (yonat) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:50:17 GMT

Hi,
I have made a Hebrew translation of Post Notification (the existing translation was partial and badly phrased) and would like to pass it on and share it -- see attached file.

Patch: Set Categories During Initial Subscribe

no_email@example.com (chrisdpratt) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:42:37 GMT

frontend_subscribe.php:

// ******************************************************** // // SUBSCRIBE // ******************************************************** // if ($action == "subscribe" || $action == '') { $mid = post_notification_get_mid($addr); if(!$mid){ post_notification_add_email($addr); //Ab bit of an overhead, but for historical reasons. $mid = post_notification_get_mid($addr); } //Add request to send mail to queue. $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $t_queue (email_id, obj_id, state, type, date) VALUES($mid, 0, 0, 2, '" . post_notification_date2mysql() . "')"); if(is_numeric($post_id)){ post_notification_fe_update_subscriptions($mid, array($post_id) ,2, false); } /* BEGIN Patch */ if($_POST['pn_set_post_cat']){ post_notification_fe_update_subscriptions($mid,$_POST['pn_post_cat'] ,0); $datasaved = true; } /* END Patch */ //Output Page $content['header'] = $post_notification_strings['registration_successful']; $content = post_notification_ldfile('reg_success.tmpl'); return $content; //here it ends - We don't want to show the selection screen. }

Bugfix category-selector

no_email@example.com (gw) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:38:05 GMT

Issue
Under some circumstances, the category selector selects more categories than he should.

Example

In this case for me clicking on the topmost checkbox "News" as well selects the whole subtree on "Störungen".

I managed to debug this one and will share the solution with you - and hope, the author will incorporate it into the next version.

Background

there is a somewhat "interesting" javascript logic turning the checkboxes on and off.

It checks for the category Id and assumes, the category has ended, when the substring cat.0.1 changes.
In this case however (see example) this substring is not changing, although the parent categroy does. The reason ist, that the ID of next category "16" begins with "1". That's the problem when using strings for numbers...

Solution

Okay and here we go with the solution:

Exchange the contents of your pncats.js file with the following code:

var post_notification_running = false; var post_notification_box = new Array(); function post_notification_cats_init(){ var boxes = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); var tocheck = ""; var i; if(post_notification_running) return; post_notification_running = true; for(i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++){ if(boxes[i].id.substr(0, 4)== "cat."){ if(boxes[i].disabled == true){ boxes[i].checked = post_notification_box[i]; boxes[i].disabled = false; } } } for(i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++){ if(boxes[i].id.substr(0, 4)== "cat."){ if(tocheck != ""){ // hack by gwegner.de if((boxes[i].id.substr(0, tocheck.length) == tocheck) && (boxes[i].id.length > tocheck.length) && (boxes[i].id.substr(tocheck.length, 1) == ".")) // end of hack { post_notification_box[i] = boxes[i].checked; boxes[i].checked = true; boxes[i].disabled = true; } else { tocheck = ""; } } if(tocheck == ""){ //There is no string if(boxes[i].checked == true){ tocheck = boxes[i].id; //From now on this is the new String } } } } post_notification_running = false; } function post_notification_cats_change(){ }

Post Notification in Japanese

no_email@example.com (raphael) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:59:56 GMT

Hi

I translated the language file in Japanese.

I used UTF-8 for the files.

I sent the files to my server but it didn't work. When I go to settings in Post Notification, it is only written "Settings", nothing more.

I guess I made a mistake somewhere.

If you want, I could send you the files. I have to admit that Japanese is not my mother tongue so it would be better to find some Japanese person to do that (still I studied Japanese for 4 years at university, so my translation mustn't be too bad, but a Japanese person would definitely do better).

Could you help me understand what I should to make it work ?

Thank you very much

Spanish translation (es_ES)

no_email@example.com (juant) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 09:07:32 GMT

Hi, I want to make the Spanish translation of this plugin, but after reading this forums I think it's better to wait until the 2.0 is released. Where can I get the alpha or beta to begin translation?

Reset all confirmations and send confirm mail again

no_email@example.com (yoavf) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 11:27:29 GMT

Hi - great plugin, thanks!

Following a new law in Israel, we are obligated to ask all users to reconfirm their subscription
I would like to change all users to status "unconfirmed" and send confirmation mail again?

How can I do this?
I know I can manually change the status of all users directly in MYSQL.
How can I quicky send a confirmation email to all "unconfirmed" users?

Thanks!

Integrate with user login?

no_email@example.com (mrpool) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:58:37 GMT

First off, I love the plugin, it is exactly what I was looking for, but now I realize that I wanted to do a little more, lol. I love the simplicity of the plugin, yet it has a ton of options/features. I haven't found anything that compares.

My issue: I want to enable users to login to my blog, only as subscribers, but in the Profile screen I would like to have the subscription options. I've got it so that post_notification info shows up in the profile.php from wordpress. The problem I'm having is getting it to validate the user that is logged in. It pulls the email address fine, but needs the "code" before it will display the subscription options.

Any ideas? I was trying to get it to pull the code for the currently logged in user.

Thanks again!

[already included] Formular zum in den Newsletter eintragen eine Widget-Sidebar einfügen?

no_email@example.com (Marc454) — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 20:38:18 GMT

Hi,

ich möchte meinen Besuchern die Möglichkeit geben sich direkt in der Sidebar einzutragen. (so dass sie keine extra Seite aufrufen müssen).

Ich habe das Brownbound Theme und benutze dementsprechend eine Widget-basierte Sidebar.
Wie würde ich das Formular (habe es aus dem subscribe_snippet.php) dort einfügen, ohne die Widget-Geschichten zu zerstören?

Wäre sehr nett wenn mir jemand helfen könnte

Show subscribed cats in Mail

no_email@example.com (Morty) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 20:33:55 GMT

Here is another sample for the userfunctions.php. It replaces @@cats with the cats, which are currently subscribed. Ther performance is quite poor, but 99% probably don't care too much about that.

function post_notificataion_uf_perEmail($post_id, $emailadd){ $rv = array(); //Load stuff we need. global $wpdb; require_once(post_notification_path . get_option('post_notification_profile') . '/strings.php'); $t_emails = $wpdb->prefix . 'post_notification_emails'; $t_cats = $wpdb->prefix . 'post_notification_cats'; //Get the subscribed cats. $subcats_db = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id FROM $t_cats c, $t_emails e " . "WHERE c.id = e.id AND e.email_addr = '$emailadd' ORDER BY cat_id ASC"); //Make shure the sting is defined $rv['@@cats'] = ''; //Walk through the cats. if(isset($subcats_db)){ foreach($subcats_db as $subcat){ $cat = $subcat->cat_id; if($cat == 0){ $rv['@@cats'] = $post_notification_strings['all'] . ', '; //If all are requested we don't need to add any more. break; } else { $cat = get_category($cat); //ID -> Object $rv['@@cats'] .= $cat->cat_name . ', '; } } $rv['@@cats'] = substr($rv['@@cats'], 0, -2); } return $rv; }

Workaround für ISO-8859-1-Blogs

no_email@example.com (Morty) — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 15:22:33 GMT

Hallo,

mir ist noch aufgefallen, dass im Admin-Bereich unter "Verwalten", "Post Notification" die deutschen Umlaute nicht korrekt dargestellt werden (mein Blog läuft unter ISO-8859-1).

Als kurzfristigen Workaround habe ich mit POEDIT die .po-Datei geladen und in den Katalog-Optionen den Zeichensatz auf ISO-8859-1 umgestellt. Die geänderten .po / .mo -Dateien habe ich mal beigefügt, vielleicht kannst du die brauchen.

Beste Grüsse!

Eberhard Friedrich
