Subject: Post Notification disappeared from Settings menu
WordPress 2.8.5 -- got PN plugin update notice and updated plugin -- now it doesn't show anymore in Settings menu and PN field also has disappeared from Edit Post screen.  PN plugin _IS_ installed and files are on site...

UGH!  What to do???

Subject: RESOLVED
OK -- I finally found your post of a year ago where you suggested setting permissions to 777 (my _temp directory has always been set to 755, so I haven't a clue what might have provoked this error)...  I set  permissions to 777 and error message disappeared -- returned settings to file-locking and...

All seems to be working as intended now.

Subject: error - Couldn't create File...post_notification.lock
I am 'suddenly' getting this error:

Couldn't create File: /usr/www/users/nisei/ska/news/wp-content/plugins/post-notification/_temp/post_notification.lock
Please assure the the path is writeable. This is an error!

Nothing has changed, really -- except for update to 2.8 and to new Post Notification version...

I deleted the existing post_notification.lock -- continued to get the error.

No posts were being sent -- I changed settings from file to DB locking and, although I still get the error message in Info, emails are now being sent...  The .lock file was not re-created, though...

Suggestions?

Subject: categories selected when loading page
Hi, Morty -- Post Notification seems to be completely functional now with exception that some categories are always SELECTED when loading the page -- the SELECTED categories are all 'super-categories' (ie: EVERY category which 'owns' one or more sub-categories is already SELECTED when the List addresses page first appears and, after DE-SELECTing the selected categories and clicking "-->>" the same 'super-categories' are SELECTED again when the page loads...

See screen shot at http://ska.org/email/images/post_notification_problem.jpg

Tested with Internet Explorer 7, FireFox 3, Safari -- ALL three browsers exhibit same behavior -- this is a DIFFERENT (and bad) behavior than with WordPress prior to 2.7 which all behaved 'nicely' -- 2.7 does NOT behave nicely with Post Notification in this respect...

I THINK this is very likely a BUG in Post Notification which ought to be repaired -- not a fatal flaw, but it makes it a PAIN to navigate the emails!!!

I have put in a request, by the way, for our organization to send you a donation -- I hope that will be approved -- you've done a spectacular job on the plug-in and have given excellent support along the way!

Best for the New Year,

Mike

List addresses 'wakes up' with all categories which 'own' sub-categories SELECTED

Unselecting all categories (is there an easy way to do that?  I am first clicking the top selected category to select only one, then ctrl-clicking it to un-select it) DOES list the next 50, Morty...  AND it re-selects the same "categories which own sub-categories") so navigation THIS way is going to be...  Well very painful and difficult!

The SQL: ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM wp_post_notification_emails WHERE email_addr LIKE '%' AND gets_mail = 1 ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 50, 50||

But since ALL emails in our list are automatically registered to ALL categories (and new categories automatically added to all emails), why should this even matter? AND...  WHY should the top-categories (where sub-categories are linked) be selected at all???

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Thanks so much!

Mike

OK, Morty -- sorry about that...  I've changed my new line 170 to:
echo "<p> The SQL:                ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, e.id AS id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM $t_emails e, $t_cats c WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd AND e.id = c.id AND c.cat_id IN ($sel_cats) GROUP BY e.id ORDER BY $sortsrt LIMIT $start, $limit||</p>";

Now, after bringing up first (successful) List addresses and THEN clicking "-->>" I get this (from line 170 above):
The SQL: ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, e.id AS id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM wp_post_notification_emails e, wp_post_notification_cats c WHERE email_addr LIKE '%' AND gets_mail = 1 AND e.id = c.id AND c.cat_id IN (3,70,64,15,25) GROUP BY e.id ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 50, 50||

Maybe that will help? 

So my lines 160-172 currently look like:
            echo "<p> The SQL:                ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM $t_emails  WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd ORDER BY $sortsrt LIMIT $start, $limit||</p>";
            $emails = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM $t_emails  WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd ORDER BY $sortsrt LIMIT $start, $limit ");
            $total = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $t_emails  WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd");
        } else {
            $emails = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, e.id AS id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM $t_emails e, $t_cats c WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd AND e.id = c.id AND c.cat_id IN ($sel_cats) GROUP BY e.id ORDER BY $sortsrt LIMIT $start, $limit ");
            $total = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(e.id)  FROM $t_emails e, $t_cats c WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd AND e.id = c.id AND c.cat_id IN ($sel_cats)");
        }
       
        if (!$emails) {
            echo '<p class="error">' . __('No entries found!', 'post_notification') . '</p>';
            echo "<p> The SQL:                ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, e.id AS id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM $t_emails e, $t_cats c WHERE email_addr LIKE '$email' $wadd AND e.id = c.id AND c.cat_id IN ($sel_cats) GROUP BY e.id ORDER BY $sortsrt LIMIT $start, $limit||</p>";
            echo '</div>';
            return;

Morty -- I've copied your debug line after line 169 and tried again...

After "List addresses" link is clicked, page appears 'normally' with first 50 emails properly listed.  Your DEBUG LINE is:
The SQL: ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM wp_post_notification_emails WHERE email_addr LIKE '%' AND gets_mail = 1 ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 0, 50||

Clicking "-->>" gives this debug line after "No entries found!":
The SQL: ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM wp_post_notification_emails WHERE email_addr LIKE '%' AND gets_mail = 1 ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 50, 50||

Clicking "-->>" a second time gives this debug line after "No entries found!":
The SQL: ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM wp_post_notification_emails WHERE email_addr LIKE '%' AND gets_mail = 1 ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 100, 50||

Post Notification comes up on "Info" screen.

"List addresses" link is clicked, page appears 'normally' with first 50 emails properly listed -- URL appears to be:
http://ska.org/news/wp-admin/admin.php?page=post_notification/admin.php&action=list_email
and your debug line is displayed::
The SQL: ||SELECT email_addr, gets_mail, last_modified, date_subscribed, id, act_code, subscribe_ip FROM wp_post_notification_emails WHERE email_addr LIKE '%' AND gets_mail = 1 ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 0, 50||

Clicking "-->>" from that screen returns "No entries found!" and URL appears to be:
http://ska.org/news/wp-admin/admin.php?page=post_notification/admin.php&action=list_email
and NO debug line is displayed

Thanks so much, Morty!  I look forward to trying the debugging version!

Clues:

PHP hasn't changed since before the upgrade to 2.7
admin_list_email.php correctly displays the first 50 emails in the list when it first comes up, but subsequent controls (next, update, start-at, etc) all return "No entries found!" -- makes me think the problem is related to DB changes during 2.7 upgrade... 

SO appreciate your support!!!

Mike

Subject: 1.2.27 download and Morty's question
functions.php you provided HAS WORKED (at least partially) and I am again able to use Manage to add and remove email addresses AND subscribe and unsubscribe now (again) work properly from @@post_notification_body -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

List addresses still does NOT work (but I have not installed 1.2.27 -- only functions.php)

For others wishing to update, 1.2.25 shows as current version at wordpress.org -- 1.2.27 is currently available in 'other versions' at this address: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/post-notification.1.…

BTW: Does changing the "start at" an pressing update work? And also changing sorting options? It might be some problem with your Database, too.

Changing the 'start at' and pressing update does NOT work -- neither does changing sorting options -- neither does entering a single valid email address to find.

PLEASE let me know if you believe I have a problem with my Database (2.7 upgrade did update the database and perhaps it didn't properly handle post-notification?)...  In order to repair it, do you suggest the following (or WHAT do you suggest)??

1. Export list of emails and save temporarily along with my en_SKA template directory
2. record SETTINGS for next setup
3. Uninstall post-notification
4. deactivate post-notification plug-in
5. remove post-notification directory from plug-ins
6. re-install 1.2.27 post-notification plugin
7. activate plugin
8. restore my en_SKA templates directory
9. restore SETTINGS
10. use Manage to add the emails from save in step 1.

NOTE to other users -- the above 10 steps are my QUESTION to Morty and should NOT be considered as a fix for YOUR similar problem until Morty confirms or suggests another path to happiness etc.

checked with IE7, FireFox 3, Safari -- all the same results...  If email IS added, it doesn't show in export which is the only way I can check, as update -->> and <<-- do NOT work...  Perhaps the provided file wasn't the 'new' one?  I'm sure only that it's uploaded to the plugin and hasn't seemed to affect the various problems...

I can manually delete lists of emails using Manage, but can NOT add emails using manage -- Info shows the deletions (number in list declines), but doesn NOT show additions (number in list remains the same)... 

I am unable to use List function to display any beyond first 50 which appear when the page first loads.  Then I get the error reported above (nothing found!).

Oh, and please note that (our site) is .htaccess protected for members only, so you won't be able to 'get in' by clicking the live link above... 

If you feel you need to review the site itself, please email me at mikelyon@mlyon.com and I'll set you up with a temporary username and password for test purposes...

Thanks,

Mike
