MailChimp plugin feedback

lifeisfoo

I have just uploaded a first version of this plugin that autosubscribe new users to a MailChimp list.

Can anyone give me some feedback if works with new users registered via external connection providers (FB, Twitter, etc)? I think that doesn't work with these due to different events fired during connection (RegistrationSuccessful event isn't fired during connect).

Thank you.

Good idea. What happens if I want to add the forum subscriber to an already existing list and it is already subscribed?

Not yet implemented

I'll take note of this (Next time you can directly fill an issue on github @ https://github.com/lifeisfoo/MailChimpIntegration/issues/ )

MailChimpIntegration is missing the following requirement(s): Vanilla 2.1a1.

Have you tried changing the version to yours? that is for the 2.1 version. Try changing the requirements see if that helps.

Inside class.mailchimpintegration.plugin.php change line 7 from 'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.1a1'), to 'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.0'),.

If all works please report here so I can downgrade requirements.

Thank you for using this plugin.

New version uploaded. Works with vanilla 2.0 and added a feature to bulk subscribe all VF users (all members).

@lifeisfoo: This is a great plugin! Thank you so much.

@lifeisfoo: I was able to install and setup plugin. The option to subscribe to newsleter is there by the time of registration, but emails are not transfered to my list in mailchimp. I doublechecked several times api and list - both seem to be correct. Any idea? Thanks in advance.

lifeisfoo

Have you tried using bulk subscribe? From there you can see any error in the connection.

I created a new test list and it works well, but when I tried set it back to the initial one - it still doesn't work. Anyway I count the issue solved. Thanks

lifeisfoo

Thank you for using it Suggestions and feedbacks are always welcome!

@lifeisfoo Update: Found out the exact issue with my initial list - had the name field mandatory. As this plugin import only emails - that was impossible. Fix - set name field to optional in Mailchimp list settings and find another way to import (copy-paste ) the names of your forum subscribers.
If possible to automate name import as well - it will be very nice, but still thanks for the plugin - does awesome job.

lifeisfoo

Nice catch, I'll add this to the future feature list. Thank you.

I have a fresh install of 2.0.18.8 and installed this plugin, activated it, inserted the api key and list id... and BOOM. It broke a lot of stuff.

When a user hits APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP here is the error:

    Fatal Error in EntryController.FetchViewLocation();

    Could not find a '/var/(deleted path)/plugins/MailChimpIntegration/views//var/(deleted path)/plugins/botstop/views/registercaptcha.php.php' view for the 'entry' controller in the 'dashboard' application.

    The error occurred on or near: /var/(deleted path)/library/core/class.controller.php

    776:       }
    777:       // echo '<div>['.$LocationName.'] RETURNS ['.$ViewPath.']</div>';
    778:       if ($ViewPath === FALSE && $ThrowError)

Any ideas???

Something is way off... hmmm....

lifeisfoo

Could you try to disable MailChimp plugin (also from /conf/config.php if your site isn't working) and see what happen?

x00

This is is going to conflict with any plugin that swaps out the registration pages

You have something like this

    public function EntryController_Render_Before($Sender){
        if(version_compare(C('Vanilla.Version'), '2.1', '<')) {
            if (strtolower($Sender->RequestMethod) == 'register' 
                || strtolower($Sender->RequestMethod) == 'connect'){//only on registration/connect page
                $Sender->View = $this->GetView(strtolower($Sender->View).'.php');
            }
        }
    }

which is problematic becuase you are taking $Sender->View at face value, but it can be already changed.

really you should use

$RegistrationMethod = strtolower(Gdn::Config('Garden.Registration.Method'));

to determine the view

Though personally I think you should be using a softer less intrusive way to add the checkbox. The plugin can't all fight over views. Granted there has only been hooks there recently in 2.1 but in non critical scenario I wouldn't use these methods.

I may be contributing to this plugin shortly, once I've got the client go ahead.

lifeisfoo

Thank you x00 for the debug info, I'll fix it asap.

jackjitsu

No worries, I disabled it immediately.

Glad I posted.... It didn't come close to working so I assumed I had really screwed something up, even though the setup is straightforward.

REALLY WANT THIS PLUGIN. I await eagerly
