Thanks, Eventualo!

By the way, why don’t you try a debugging plugin called “Query Monitor?” It’s great—it was the one which told me about the problem above.

Your website is up now, so no problem at all, Eventualo.

Best.

I only had to tweak the chunk above some more, and now it works. I can send a custom activation email as a complete html file.

You can mark this thread as solved, too.

Thank you.

Marco.

Thank you, Alessandro, this worked like a charm!

Templates are useful. I can also add the “text-replace” function to the template for localizations, and probably for a localized activation email function, too.

Thanks!

Hey, good thinking, I totally missed that.

I’m getting it cranked soon, and I will inform you of my progress.

Any idea of how I could send a custom activation email using a php/html + activation link shortcode in a mu-plugin file?

Sorry if I’m pestering you, but I’m trying to ask as few questions as possible.

Regards.

Marco.

Basically, I was wondering if I could have:

[ALO-EASYMAIL-PAGE-1] on the first (English) newsletter page, and
[ALO-EASYMAIL-PAGE-2] on the second (Italian) newsletter page, without touching the lists and have the php engine work all the same.

Could this be done using the mu-plugin resource?

Thank you.

M.

For completion, I’m adding another way to do it, using the in_array php function:

$attachments = array();
	$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );
	$lists = alo_em_get_user_mailinglists( $subscriber->ID );

	// I have two subscription lists: ID 2 (English Newsletter) and ID 6 (Italian Newsletter)
	// Each list has its own separate check button in the submission form.

	// Checking if no selection is made

if ( is_array( $lists ) ) {

	// Checking array $lists whether double selection is made:

	if(in_array('2',$lists) && in_array('6',$lists)){
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );
}	

	// Checking if only the English Newsletter is selected (ID 2)

elseif(in_array('2',$lists)){
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
}	

	// Checking if only the Italian Newsletter is selected (ID 6)

elseif(in_array('6',$lists)){
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );
}  

	// If none of the above:

else {
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
}
}

	// Closing ELSE of the "no selection is made" check above.

	else {
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
}
	wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

Thanks again and best.

M.

Thanks a lot, Alessandro!

Please, mark the thread as solved.

Marco.

Hey, that works!

Also:

// if two checkboxes are pressed:

elseif ( $list == 6  &&  $list == 2 )
{...}

One last question, I swear — what if no checkbox is pressed? I tried with:

$list == 0

or

$list == 1

or

$list == NULL

but none worked.

In both cases, the final ELSE condition in the FOREACH loop doesn’t send anything.

M.

All right, scratch the last two incomplete posts.

I tried this as well, but it doesn’t work (it always sends the ELSE condition.)

$attachments = array();

	$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );	

if(isset($_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']) && $_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']==='2') {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment2_eng.mobi' );}
    // ...

elseif(isset($_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']) && $_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']==='6') {
    // The Italian attachs
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment2_ita.mobi' );}
    // ...

else {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment2_eng.mobi' );}
    // ...

wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

Thanks for your help.

Marco.

This isn’t working, either:

$attachments = array();
$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );

$listnum = alo_em_get_subscriber( $list_id );

if ( $listnum == 2 ) {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
    // ...
} else if ( $listnum == 6 ) {
    // The Italian attachs
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );}

wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

}

Hello.

I tried this, but nothing is sent after the activation, ergo that’s not the right way to retrieve the $list_id parameter:

$attachments = array();

$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );

if ( $list_id == 2 ) {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
    // ...
} else if ( $list_id == 6 ) {
    // The Italian attachs
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );}

wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

}

Hello, Eventualo.

Unfortunately, browser language is not an effective discriminant for me, since for instance US subscribers using an english language-based browser may want to opt in to the Italian Newsletter. Or an Italian-based user may want to receive the English Newsletter.

Moreover, I got a lot of subscribers with an empty Language tab in the Alo Easy Mail Subscribers panel.

That’s why attachments based on subscription list-IDs would be more to the point IMHO, because subscribers would choose the list, hence what they’d like to be sent. Just think of a subscription policy based on book genres (romance, sci-fi, thriller, etc.) that gives away samples on subscription. In this case, language would be irrelevant.

Can’t it be done using list IDs?

Thank you for yor time.

Again, don’t forget to change the “e-email” to “e-mail” in the messages printed out by your plugin.

Marco.

Thanks a lot, Camu, for adding the nifty little feature above already; it works like a charm!

Best!
