MailChimp plugin feedback

Zendor

I assume it is: class.BotStopApproval.plugin

Questions appear as i want them in the plugin settings. However, I'm back to getting an error message:

Could not find a '/var/www/html/forum/plugins/MailChimpIntegration/views//var/www/html/forum/plugins/botstopapproval/views/registerapproval.php.p
hp' view for the 'entry' controller in the 'dashboard' application.

Apologies...I notice you had stated it was NOT compatible with MailChimp. I have to say it all works just fine with your suggestions.

Mail Chimp seemed to be the only plugin available to extract all forum e-mail addresses to a mailing list along with new sign ups automatically being added. Is there a way around the compatibility problem with the two plugins [botstopapproval & mailchimp]? Are there other plugins which do a similar job - i have looked a lot!

@Zendor‌ Apologies...I notice you had stated it was NOT compatible with MailChimp

this would be one way to create mailiing list and not use Mailchimp if you want the other plugins.

the other way would be to meld the two plugins, if you are a programmer and understand the logic. Are you a programmer/developer? If not I could walk you thru the steps if you PM me your budget to do this. Alas, I think you might not have a budget though and it would be time consuming to walk you through the steps.

you can use both mailchimp and http://vanillaforums.org/addon/addregistrationquestion-plugin
in lieu of botstop or botstop approval plugins and you would get an additional question on the registration form to deter bots and spammers, and still have a mailchimp option.

if you add this line

<?php $this->FireEvent('RegisterFormBeforeTerms'); ?>

above

<li>
                 <?php
                    echo $this->Form->CheckBox('TermsOfService', $TermsOfServiceText, array('value' => '1'));

in the php files that begin with register in the mailchimp plugin folder.

I'm looking to use this, however can it integrate with the mailchimp list through the API so that if users delete their account or choose to "opt out" their name is removed from the Mailchimp mail list?

Yes, it should be possible, since there is a dedicated function: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/1.3/listunsubscribe.func.php
