MLD email newsletter plugin

[Bigin]

Well, there's a saying in Russian for that: шило на мыло менять (https://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BC%D0...0%BB%D0%BE)
Means exchanging something (bad) for something equally (bad). - "Suum cuique" ... ;-)

-I am not with this system anymore because nobody (except SHAWN) was flexible enough to understand that some of the plugins must be continued...
-and because of this I had to move the site to Wordpress,
-The plugin uses one (or more) deprecated functions which are not supported anymore in PHP and bring error messages

Hi Connie,

What made you decide to move over to WordPress ? WordPress has tons of abandoned plugins to the point where they are open doors for hackers. Last year 2018 WordPress was many times in the news about being hacked through it's abandoned plugins.

-Deprecated functions are usually solved by replacing the outdated function name with the new one.

unfortunately this link brings a blank empty page

It should bring you to a download of a zip file (gs_massmail.zip). Works for me.

Although there's no documentation with the plugin and I can't get it to work propperly.

There's also 2 other newsletter plugins in Extend.

It works for me at php 7.

Code:

<?php if (function_exists('get_mass_mail_form')) { get_mass_mail_form();} ?>

Added a file with the code to the archive.

When I activate the plugin I see the plugin tab in Plugin section, but when I go there it only shows the following (in Russion):

Followers

No registered subscribers

That's it. Cannot configure anything. This is on php 5.6.40


Edit:

Ah I see it now, you first have to add an e-mail address via the form in frontend page before seeing the edit e-mail screen. This is not very logical, but if it works then it's ok.

Looks like the plugin is originally made in 2010, for GS 2.1

Maybe I will do a translation (plugin is not in English).

Yes, the plugin is old, but it works.

Mld email newsletter plugin gives the site a 500 error under php 7

When in mld-newsletter.php you remove line 230:

PHP Code:

break 3; 


The site and plugin seams to work normally without errors. I did not test functionality yet since I did not configure it yet to send e-mails.

function display_message conflicts with gs-blog. This throws 500 error. Simply rename the function (and its calls) to display_nl_message.
