I don't know where to begin...blogtorank has got to be the most kind, generous, helpful person I've yet to meet on the internet. He's offered his valuable time to help me out and get this running.

Let's see...I've had to move servers b/c it was poorly configured which is why we couldn't get the script running properly. Before we moved though, blog had put in around 32 hours to go through my server and see where the problems were and to see if he could fix them. Sadly, the server was just straight effed that there was nothing we could do but move.

I asked for him to help me get my new servers properly configured and secured (for a fee of course ;) happy to pay for great help anytime). He's been helping configure, troubleshoot, find bugs, and get everything running as smoothly as possible...STILL to this minute. He put in a full 24 hours...that's right, no sleep yesterday, to help me get the server up and running. We got it up and everything was running smoothly until my site received a bunch of SYN attacks on our database server.

At this moment, he's STILL helping me out and I just wanted to let everyone know how much of a help this guy is! I've never seen such dedication! So all in all...he's prolly put in 60+ hours into help me and my site and on top of that, he's been able to release fixes to his mods that had security vulns.

Amazing work! Hats off to my man blogtorank. I hope to see this on one of your blogs as a testimonial to customer support and satisfaction :D

I think there is a problem with the SQL in the plugin to generate the HTML/Text profile:
Code:

echo '<center>Creating vbMailer profile field</center>';
$db->query_write("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield VALUES (600, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 6, 1, 'radio', 'a:2:{i:0;s:4:\"HTML\";i:1;s:4:\"Text\";}', 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, '', 2, 0, 0)");


The 'radio' value above is inserted into the 9th field, but this value should be in the 8th field ('type'). This messes up the rest of the query and the profile is not created properly.

My profile field was all over the place but I managed to sort it out. This is version 1.2.3 FULL too.

I dropped an email at BTR, with an enquiry for the full version. I was wondering if you might have gotten it? :)

Will look into your issue there Dave, thanks for reporting that.

Whereabouts? Did you use the contact form? Wherefore the sales there will answer yours in the order received, if you have any questions feel free to ask here if you would like and I'll see if we (not sales) can help you out. :)

This looks absolutely great, and I look forward to start using it.

I was wondering and may have missed this, but is there a simple way to send out test emails to only one emailadres, user or a single usergroup before sending it to the complete userbase? May be useful to evaluate whether variables are parsed correctly and whether html is rendered as expected in different email clients.

Great work!

iogames 08-29-2007 10:29 PM

Bought it! :D

Full Version + Installation!

I hope I'm back as satisfied client ;)

yeah the contact form. no one got back to me. i was wondering if your full version actually lets us configure a pre-set amount of outbound emails per hour. my server can only do 300 emails per hr, and this is becoming quite an issue for me.

Great work!

Yes this will send out per the USERGROUP that you choose to test with, also, you will be able to select all, we kept it per what the users that requested it this way, where you can choose All or a specific group to send to.

On the rendering of the htmls do this as a test:

Choose that you are allowed HTML e-mails as a "New user" however on your end make it inside your e-mail client to NOT accept html...

Send out all e-mails to this new user both in text and html, which you will see this is sent.

Now after the send, take a look inside your inbox and remember that you shouldn't receive e-mails as HTML, open this e-mail... If you see it as text this means that our system served you with a text e-mail so it doesn't come out garbled and looking trashy ;)

We have it where you can send out 25 emails per x amount of time:

http://www.blogtorank.com/vbmailer-v...in-mailer.html

See the 2nd to the top screenshot for this setting. So you do the calcs of this to figure out how many seconds you need in between sends of groups of 25's Hope this helps!

Yeah well still going at it, but this had to been one of the best compliments EVER received here by us. We greatly appreciate this tremendously! Our biggest thanks for such a great feedback!!!!!

I'm stil trying to get this working properly, I also have a few questions about how this plugin works. At the end of each email message it says:

"You can unsubscribe at any time by visiting the forums where this was sent from and requesting not to receive emails from administrators any more."

Is this text hard-coded in the PHP files? I couldn't find it in the phrases. If so can you please add an option to change or customise this - I already have a more user-friendly notice on the bottom of my emails and I don't want this on there.

Secondly, what happens to a mailing if it gets stuck or times out in the middle somewhere? Our current mailer solution (not in VB) allows us to continue mailing from the point that it timed out, so we can ensure no users get repeat emails. Our test mailings in 'Review Campaigns' have some failed emails (with valid addresses though) - do subsequent crons try to send these failed emails or is that it?

Also, it would be nice if the campaign stats kept track of how many bounces there were :).
