WAnewsletter 2.1.3 FAQ's


Here is a list of the most frequently ask questions, and the corresponding explanations.

Summary
  1. But where is the form of registration ?
  2. Why there are two engines of sending ?
  3. Impossible to join files to my newsletters !

I. But where is the form of registration ?
To install the registration form on your site, there are two solutions :
  1. You use the suscribe.php file (available on the root of the script).
    You can place it where check seems to you on your site, since you define correctly the variable $waroot in the suscribe.php file, so that it finds newsletter.php.

    Exemple :

    The file suscribe is in the rep/ folder, and the newsletter is installed in the rep/newsletter/ folder.
    In that case, you should have $waroot = "newsletter/";

    With this form, all your distribution lists display in a list.

    You can personalize the page which will show suscribe.php by editing files form_header.html and form_footer.html (you should leave these two files in the root of the script)

  2. The second solution consists, when you correctly configured your list (notably indicated the address where will be the form), to return you in the section "form. generator" and to generate the form for the wanted list.
    It does not remain in you any more than to place this form at the address previously indicated, and, there as well, to configure correctly the variable $waroot.
In both cases, the address of the form, defined in the configuration of the list, owes pointed is towards suscribe.php, if you use this file, or towards the address where is the generated form.

II. Why there are two engines of sending ?
WAnewsletter has two engines of sending to be able to be used by the biggest number.
Indeed, certain hosts limit the number of emails sent a day (ex: multimania / lycos), or accept only an address by email (eg: online).
To use the first engine of sending (emails in hidden copy) can make more pro (it is my personal opinion).
Of other one esteemed, by using the second engine of sending, the addressees will see their address email in main addressee. Furthermore, the unsubscribe address will stick with the good parameters, instead of returning simply on the form.

After all, it is to you to choose what will be convenient for you best ;-)

P.S: The persons being accommodated on Online must take the second engine (a subscriber = one email)

III. Impossible to join files to my newsletters !
In case the upload of file is authorized on your server, it can be for in fact that the script has no rights in writing on the upload/ folder.
Please, thus verify the chmod or the attributes of this folder.

If the upload is not authorized, the script didn't adds the file to the list of the joined files only if this is ever present on the server, in the upload/ folder.
Upload your joined files with your ftp customer before adding your joined files via the form.
