You can setup signup forms on any number of sites that all point to your ListMail installation.  Simply set the FORM "ACTION" to point to your ListMail signup.php file, as is shown by default on the List Settings -> Signup Code page.

Hey Dean,

Awesome mailer Bro.

I'm setting up a system whereby my members can have their own individual lists, each month we release a new product for them and they'll have a new list to go with the corresponding product, they'll simply click a set up button in our application which will do all the work in setting up the list, and copying a specific set of followups to that new list.

All the parameters of their lists will be set up from our app's members table using either CURL or AJAX to post the needed variables.

The problem I'm having is that I need to be able to set up their squeeze pages to post to the signup page by list title, and not list number or id.

Can you please point me to the right spot where I can change the parameters for this please?

Although very efficient, your code is kinda "all over the place" so if you could just point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

I'm really looking forward to the templated version of this incredible script.

Thanks.

Tai

Hi Tai, I do not recommend giving clients free reign to administering ListMail lists on your server.  Typical servers can not send a lot of email and you will not have any way to limit the user from sending too much.  You are also risking your hosting being shut down if one or more mailings generate a high percentage of complaints.

Further, we prefer you do not give clients access to ListMail and recommend purchasing memberships from us in bulk so we can handle support and questions.  Additional full memberships can be purchased for ~$120 or less, for bulk purchases. This also allows the user to continue using ListMail if they outgrow your hosting solution.

Still, as long as you are not distributing the program, we do allow a fair amount of customization.  Since this is not really supported, however, I can only offer limited assistance.

Since ListMail's signup.php expects the list variable, what I recommend is having your own PHP script running on the squeeze page which searches for the list # by querying the lm_lists table by title.  You could then use the list number to output the signup HTML form on the squeeze page or  forward the user to the ListMail signup script with a technique such as mentioned here:

Hey Dean,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, this is what I came up with also, the squeeze page searches for the list number via their username in our system then replaces it in the form.

Just for clarification, users won't get free reign over their responder, they can only delete subscribers, and export their list to use in their own software, (we recommend ListMail in the members area via our referral link of course), so they can't overuse the system, or run any queries that might damage the system.  The ListMail system is completely sealed other than deleting and exporting.

I do have another question for you though that really has me stumped.

Since my system is servicing many users (or will be), I thought it important that all system emails ie: notifications, confirmations etc. be sent by the system itself, NOT by the list owner.  

I've gone through and "patched" all the instances where system emails go out to have the emails come from

Code: [Select]

MT Services <$errmail>, EXCEPT the confirmation reminders.

I know these are sent via the dailymail, but I can't figure out how to force the reminders to be sent via the system, and still allow the followups to be sent via the lm_lists variables.

If you could help me out with this I would appreciate it, if not, or if it's not possible, I may need to just cancel the reminders altogether for continuity sake.

Thanks again Dean, I love the screens of the new version, can't wait for it to be released.
