[Fix] Duplicate UIDs on Import - v1.8x

[DW]

Alright, I have identified the problem.  The 1.82 update/fix was only checking imported users for counting UIDs.  The problem with this approach is that some imported users took on the UID of a user who was not imported, but subscribed from a form.  Therefore, counting "imported" users would sometimes result in a SINGLE resulting UID instead of two or more.  I have fixed the upgrade script to include ALL users, not just imported ones, and have increased the version to v1.83 so that people who previously updated to v1.82 can upgrade again, properly this time.  I apologize for the confusion - it should (finally) be over now!

Gail, I have updated you to v1.83 and you no longer have duplicate UIDs.  Thank you for checking into the update for me and resolving this issue!  This is not something I could have easily re-created on a test installation.

I will be issuing yet another update email to my users... that's 3 in 24 hours :roll:

Regards  :wink:

Hi Dean
Since you fixed my site with my new 1.83 upgrade.

1.   I no longer get any confirmation emails that I've had sign ups.
2. None of my welcome emails on sign ups are going out.

I ususally get 200 tlo 300 email sign ups per day.

The sign ups seem to make it into list mail pro, but I'm not getting any sign up confirmations and the the sign up person is not getting my welcome email.
What's gone wrong, and will this now effect all my outgoing autorepondsers tomorrow too.

It's nearly midnight here in the UK
I'm still awaiting a reply?

I am not receiving any confirmation sign up emails and my subscribers are not receiving their welcome emails from my listmail autoresponder since 4pm here in the UK since the you "fixed" the 1.83 upgrade on our server.
Please respond

what is the phpmy2 directory you have left  on my server?

Gail,

I apologize for the delay - this UID issue kind of side-swiped me.  I had some plans today (a short trip to visit family..) that took 10 hours to get taken care of.  It was as short as I could make it.  I'm back and will be here most of each day for any of your problems.

I can assure you that the notification and welcome message features have not been modified between v1.8 and v1.83.

I logged into your installation, set up my address to also be notified of signups on List 1, and performed a signup with the "Signup Code" page.  I received the welcome email and the notification.  Does this happen on another list, perhaps?  I wonder if your server might have been having troubles sending to your email address used for testing.  For example, temporary blocks to AOL are not uncommon.

The phpmy2 directory is PhpMyAdmin, a popular web-based MySQL database-viewing program often mentioned in these forums.  Browse to the phpmy2 URL and enter your username and password from ListMail's config.php to see what it does.

Regards

My Daily Mail reports and all the list mail signs ups are gong to the bounce email address.
They worked fine until 4pm my time yesterday?
They are not going to an AOL address, you scare me that you dont' look at the config area.
Everything goes to my CardellMedia.co.uk
I'd just like everything back to how it was yesterday prior to 4pm.
Where do I begin.

[chris6]

I've resolved most of these problemes myself now.
I don't suppose the new fix has sorted out the Daily Mail report issue that it dosn't tally with the actual number of emails it sends out?

[DW]

No, the dailymail report issue has not been fixed yet.  This release was simply a bug fix for the UID problem.  I will be working on the next round of changes very soon.

I have no idea what happened with your notifications and dailymail report - what was the problem as you were able to best determine?

Hi Dean
I have one list ( I don't know if would happen on new lists) that I manually add people to as they become members.
This list now does not have a date added on it.  As I view all my lists on date add, it's become confusing.  The other lists that I do as autoreponse are adding the date.
Why is the manual list not adding the date anymore.

I have verified this problem - it seems a variable was missing... perhaps I pruned it mistakenly when cleaning up some old code... :cry: well, I suppose it's time for v1.84 then v1.9 to make amends..  :?  I'll update your installation right away and update all zeroed dates to today...
