custom unsubscribe link
« on: March 11, 2008, 12:29:16 am »
I need a script to make the unsubscribe links for each list be specific to the domain I specify for it.  

In other words, if I want the main domain in list 2 to use a domain of 123.com in the unsub i need to set that somewhere - and have the data sent to the main db on the main domain when it is clicked.

Another way to put it... this is my unsub link now. all my lists are on one domain ... http://www.urhorizon.net/lmp/rem.php?u=9b1320b

If the list has a list that has reference to 123.com, then I would want the unsub link to look like > http://www.123.com/lmp/rem.php?u=9b1320b

Does anyone know if this can be done without modification of the code?

If it is possible WITH modification of the code, am I allowed to have access to make changes to the code?

If neither of the above is possible, can I contract with LMP tech support to make the necessary changes?

Thanks for the response
Norm

Hi Norm,

When you use a single ListMail installation for multiple sites I recommend setting up on a more generic domain name that is suitable for all of your sites.

It would be very difficult program your request into the program and I would not unfortunately be able to take that on at this time.

You are free to attempt the changes yourself - I don't mind if you modify the code as long as you don't distribute it.  I also don't mind if you install additional copies of ListMail on all of your own sites.

I believe you could do this now by using the !usersuid code and then doing:  whateverdomain.com/rem.php!usersuid

You then just have to copy the rem.php, admin.php and config.php files into each domains web space...

Dean correct me if that won't work... as I have not tested it, but I did think of doing something similar a while back.

You might be on to something, Mike.  One could either manually enter the link as in your example or even possibly use a Custom Text message code.  If it's working correctly, I took care to process Custom Text codes before any other message codes, so other codes (such as the UID) could be used in the Custom Text code itself.

The target site would need a copy of the rem.php script, config.php and admin.php.  config.php would need to be set up to access the remote MySQL server.  There is the possibility that a firewall or MySQL server setting will prevent this and you would need to ask your web host for help.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance with this work-around.
