creating email template
Hi,

I saw this the Manual.pdf that provided by GTs about how to use LinksSQL.:

=====================================
To create an email template:
Fill in the relevant fields as you would a regular email, but don’t click the "Send
Emails" button.
Ensure that the "Template" drop-down menu reads "New Template", and click the
"Save" button just below it.
You will be prompted to give your new template a name. After doing so, you will
be returned to the appropriate Mass Mail menu, with the name of your new template
displayed in the "Template" drop-down menu.
============================================

But when i click on 'Save' button the email will be queued in the pending mailings. NOT prompted for the name to save it.

Any ideas?

I think you need to use [save as]

That may be a typo in the manual

That is one of a lot of well known mass-mailer-bugs.

I've addressed Jack and Alex for ages about these issues!!!!

But they are too busy because they are developing new (and good!) applications and they seem to have no time left to make their already released software work as it should!!!!!!!!!

# Revision : $Id: admin.cgi,v 1.74 2002/03/05 22:07:08 alex Exp $

I want to make sure which verison of admin.cgi you have. Thanks.

Virginia

Hi,

Please replace the following code in admin.cgi:

Code:
if (@actions > 1) {
@actions = grep { $_ ne 'Send' } @actions;
}
with:

Code:
if (@actions > 1) {
@actions = grep { $_ ne 'Send' and $_ ne 'selected_users_send' and $_ ne 'selected_links_send' } @actions;
}


It should resolve the problem.

I wonder why there is a "official bug fixes"-forum, when it isn't really used!

Cause this is not a mod but a bug-fix from my point of view, isn't it?

(or is it a non-official bug fix???Tongue)

Maybe you made a typo. The code is correct. Also check your error log.

Can you please take a look at the error_log to see the error?

Please make sure you have the right version of admin.cgi, you will find the following on line #8

Hello

The solution given by Virginia works for email templates in all users & all links.

When I want to load or save template for selected users/links I still get this message:

Invalid from e-mail address entered. You must correct it before sending the e-mails

I hope to get a solution for this.

Uh. No, code was correct but had some problem with server (my ISP disabled all cgi scripts for some period so all scripts didn't work at all). Now everything works fine.

Thanks anyway.

In order to fix the same problem in the Mailing List section.
Please change it to:

Code:
if (@actions > 1) {
@actions = grep { $_ ne 'Send' and $_ ne 'selected_users_send' and $_ ne 'selected_links_send' and $_ ne 'list_mail_Send' } @actions;
}
