PHPlist integration

[Carnage]

The first two, technically the third as well.

I had a different aproach to the integration: letting phplist do most of the work.

General:

• Provides single admin login to phplist/vb admincp ( i'll control this with vb admin perms before the mod goes 'gold')
• Syncs DB with phplist when a user registers, changes email or is deleted. Also updates confirmed status if user is moved into/outof vb email confirmation group.
• Provides mass import for users that already exist in vbulletin
• Provides admin mass subscribe to list with options the same as the create mailing list page in vb.

The only settings are settings for table prefixes.

My bounce handling i think is more inteligant as well; it lets phplist decide what to do with a bounce then unconfirms the user vb side that way you dont need to duplicate settings between vb and phplist. I expect this could be expanded to ban/delete users send them a pm or many other options. I'm awaiting feedback from the alpha testers.

I'm also interested in this because I want something for my forum that enables users to unsubscribe to things like our mail-outs (newsletters, updates, etc) but not to the forum emails.

What stage are you up to Carnage? What an awesome thing you're doing!

Do you need any help? I can php/mysql and have some servers to test this on.

hows things going with this?

do you think I could hop on board with the testing?

[Carnage]

As i've not really gotten any feedback from testers, i'm going to post this here:

Installation instructions are in the package.

Once I get some indication as to how well its working, i'll fix bugs and release properly as a beta

Please provide a working link.

The link works, you just need to copy the link and paste it in since only half the link became a url. here is the full link

A few important pointers to testers:

When you test this, it is STRONGLY recommended that you test this on a backup copy of your vbulletin site and database. Do not test this on a live system (yet).

If you download the integration script - you will need to also install phplist which you can download from their site.

I've finally had a chance to install it.

The auth part, is it meant to look like:

$vbadmindir = 'forums/admincp/';
$phplistadmindir = 'forums/lists/admin/';

or like:

$vbadmindir = '/home/buyhost/public_html/forums/admincp/';
$phplistadmindir = '/home/buyhost/public_html/forums/lists/admin/';

I tried the import and I got this database error:

MySQL Error : Table 'buyhost_forumdb.user' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

[ranz]

is the PHPList database in the same database as your VB?

this could be a little "wayward" - but looks as if the script only works with the phplist installed in the same database as vb? Is this correct Carnage?

[Hornstar]

I had installed it on a new database. I'll try again on the same database now.
