Absolutely agree with you about a stable solution as opposed to a quick fix.Quote:

A point to consider here is to hold mailing information, i.e. the number of emails sent on a database table, so that it is accessibly by other mailing software. I am sure that phplist using database information to control its throttling but I will need to check that.
If details of how many emails have been sent from the website are held in a common area, then all mailing systems could use it.

I will be more than happy to review version 2.0 when it comes out.Quote:

The main culprites that I am seeing is the use of <br> instead of <br /> and <img tags not ending with />.
Im putting in the Review module but just wondered if someone could explain in proper english the meaning of Set Days Passed and how Set Days to Skip After affects it. Obviously Set Days Passed is equal to how long ago the order was. But I don't understand Set Days to Skip at all?? Perhaps someone could explain by way of using an example?
The cron job will be running on a daily basis.
thanks!
I'm just installing this for reviews and I believe "days to skip" means the time frame you want included from your first set of emails being sent out. From what I understand this module will only send an email once per person (for each type of email).Quote:

I would like to see what I am actually sending out.
Thanks again!

It appears that the zenid was attached to just the storeurl and block, but all customers who received those emails (review, facebook review, winback, no purchase) all received the same zenid behind their link back to the store and to the no more emails like this. Hope that helps.

please try the public Beta Version of MailBeez 2.0:
http://www.mailbeez.com/wp-content/p...load.php?id=19
MailBeez 2.0 is fully compatible to MailBeez 1.x and will keep all configuration & tracking data.
MailBeez does not modify any zencart tables and does not require any modification of zencart's core files!
Fresh Install
copy
(shop)/admin/mailbeez.php
(shop)/mailhive.php
(shop)/mailhive
copy the files from
extras_zencart
into their place:
admin:
admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/mailbeez_tools_dhtml.php
admin/includes/extra_datafiles/mailbeez.php
store-front:

update v1.7 to 2.0
Rename
(shop)/mailhive in e.g. (shop)/mailhive_old_1.7
copy
(shop)/admin/mailbeez.php
(shop)/mailhive.php
(shop)/mailhive
go to storefront, admin > tools > MailBeez
MailBeez automatically updates itself.
if you have done customization of email-templates
(shop)/mailhive/common/templates/*.tpl
(shop)/mailhive/mailbeez/birthday/email/*.tpl
copy your customized and adopted email-templates back to their location.
copy your additional modules
(shop)/mailhive/mailbeez/(module) - file & folder
back to their location
you are done :-)
The new template system (smarty.net) uses
instead ofHTML Code:{$name}
In compatibility mode the old templates can be used.HTML Code:$name
If you change the compatibility mode you need to clear the compiled templates (button)
am looking forward for some feedback regarding installation, usability etc!

Mailbeez :) Latest beta installed and working just fine!! thank you!
Beta 2
Run mailbreez in sim mode sends out emails fine, but only generates 1 item for an order and several orders had multiple items purchased. :huh:
did it work with mailbeez 1.7?
will check is well
It did work in 1.7 but without the images and in text mode not html. I upgraded shortly after that and never played around with 1.7 any further.
MailBeez 2.0 released
A couple of minutes ago MailBeez 2.0 got finalized and released.
Thanks to many feedback of people testing MailBeez 2.0 during the past week this release is very stable and recommended for production.

thank you :) will those of us who tested need to download and upgrade again?

Found this in the email_html_zencart.tpl
Zencart merges the output generated by MailBeez into the zencart default template located in

Hi, I've tried to install a few times and it's not working out...I noticed that the mailhive folder has A LOT more files/folders than it did before. I reuploaded v1.7 and it's working again. What am I doing wrong here? I've never had a problem with this mod install before?
Help?
Nevermind, I got it. Took me a few tries though. Thank you!

Hi cord
I Have everything working and now trying to do some editing of the review html template - body_html.tpl.
Question where is the font size and formatting controlled? I tried to edit the template and i can change the words but not the font, font size or color.
Also I get the subject line right above the Greeting will this be the way it is sent to the customer?
TestFirstName TestLastName please review your purchased products
Dear TestFirstName TestLastName,
and the [SIM]TestFirstName TestLastName please review your purchased products
Dear TestFirstName TestLastName,
Thanks for a great product can not wait to give it a go.
I hope I didn't miss something...
... this is what was actually in the customer's email this morning...
Subject: $firstname $lastname please review your purchased products (the names and emails show properly everywhere else)
Message Excerpt:
template: mailhive/common/templates/email_txt.tpl (shouldn't this text be removed and not shown to the customer?)
On ZenCart 1.3.8 I just upgraded from Mailbeez 1.7 to 2.0.
Everything seems to be ok so far, but I have a problem with the subjects of the emails. Here is the subject I get in my emails:
<!-- Begin: mh:subjectTemplate -->$firstname $lastname share your Review on Facebook<!-- End: mh:subjectTemplate -->
I get this strange subjects since I upgraded. I tested it with the modules 'Review Reminder' and 'Share Review On Facebook'. I think that I have copied all upgrade files and template files as specified.
Putting curly brackets around $firstname and $lastname in the subject.tpl file results in proper names but the text '<!-- Begin: mhsubject Template' won't disappear.
BTW I find this module absolutely GREAT !
Regarding my problem with the email subjects looking like:
"<!-- Begin: mh:subjectTemplate -->$firstname $lastname share your Review on Facebook<!-- End: mh:subjectTemplate -->"
I have looked into the MailBeez code and found in the template engine file Smarty.class.php at line 1315-1319:
// BOF - Tomcraft - 2009-05-26 - Modified for xt:Commerce v3.0.4 SP2.1
//if (isset($_smarty_results)) { return $_smarty_results; }
if (file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) {
if (isset($_smarty_results)) {
return '<!-- Begin: '.$resource_name.' -->'.$_smarty_results.'<!-- End: '.$resource_name.' -->';
}
} else {
if (isset($_smarty_results)) { return $_smarty_results; }
}
// EOF - Tomcraft - 2009-05-26 - Modified for xt:Commerce v3.0.4 SP2.1
The problem is that I have the file 'includes/local/configure.php' installed in my ZenCart. So I have 2 options:
1. Remove the file 'includes/local/configure.php' which contains only code for Debugging ; #define('STRICT_ERROR_REPORTING', true);
2. Change the code above to:
// BOF - Tomcraft - 2009-05-26 ...
if (isset($_smarty_results)) { return $_smarty_results; }
// EOF - Tomcraft - 2009-05-26 ...
I decided for the 2. option and hope that the problem is solved now.
Everything is working correctly now. The subject issue above is due to the fact that the default temp has this in its form. I removed it and that part is fine. The front size and type formatting was a little trial and error but worked it out.Quote:

Everything is working for us now, but this is what I had to do ...
we only had the $firstname $lastname issue with the subject of the email... everything else was fine.
so.. i went to each mailbeez module and edited the subject template to add the curly brackets
{$firstname} {$lastname} blah blah blah :)
hope this helps someone else. :)
that is fine - wasn't aware of I bundled a modified version of smarty into MailBeez.Quote:

so whem you run Mailbeez in simulation or production mode the block_url will work in the generated emails. with MailBeez 2.0's new advanced simulations you can also try to opt out and will see it in the opt out list under reports marked with [SIM]. with click on "restart simulation" under configuration > simulation this entry will be removed.
hope this helps

Hi. I was happy to discover this module. It seems, though, that I have started off on the wrong foot.
Before going through the folders in the automatic email module by Mailbeez, I searched for more documentation on the web which led me to the Trustpilot recommendation. When I signed up for the free trial with Trustpilot, there was no way to credit Mailbeez, and no mention anywhere that the Trustpilot folders were contained in the automatic email module.
I now see there is a Trustpilot folder right in the module.
I am going to install that, and see what happens. Maybe I will be rejected by Trustpilot as a duplicative signup. It should be straightforward to cancel.
However, I would recommend that the documentation for Zen Cart would mention TrustPilot and explain that a TrustPilot module is contained within the automatic email module.
Thanks for this important module.

to comply with the rules the Trustpilot module cannot be by default part of the MaiilBeez package on zencart.com. however when you donwload directly from Mailbeez.com (which is always the latest release) the module is already in place

Hi. I was about to rename the mailbeez 1.5 folder in the zip of version 2.02, but now I am thinking it is all to be uploaded to overwrite 1.5, so that folder needs to keep its 1.5 name. Would that be correct?
Thanks.
Notageek
Hi. I clicked on all of the updates that came up in Admin, and now find a separate file called Mailbeez 2.02 which is separate from the Mailbeez 1.5 that was within the zip called 2.02 which I downloaded from Mailbeez.com but which contained a Mailbeez 1.5.
I am going to guess that that independent 2.02 file should replace Mailbeez 1.5 and not the file named Mailbeez that contains the modules and no version number.
I also downloaded modules from the admin update option which might need to overwrite the Trustpilot and Birthday modules within the 1.5, especially as the Trustpilot is not showing up in the install screen in admin.
It is a nice system, and seems easy to figure out with scrutiny and making sure one clicks on the updates. One needs to click on the downloadable modules that come up in the Admin screen to find the latest updates, rather than go to Mailbeez.com, where they are not so obvious as updates.
So, since we were advised somewhere to go to Mailbeez.com instead of the Zen Cart downloads for version 2.0, and since I almost chose not to click on the admin popup modules and updates, I wanted to stress their importance here.
The 2.02 Admin dashboard has a tab for modules, but when I click that tab it shows no modules to install or view.
Most likely I have messed something up by installing the 2.02 mailbees module independently.
I have the birthday and trustpilot modules in the directory structure: root/mailhive/mailbees/birthday and root/mailhive/mailbees/trustpilot. Before installing Mailbees 2.02, the birthday module was installed, and the Trustpilot module did not show.
How do I get the modules to show when I click the modules tab in Mailbees Admin?
you are confusing me :wink:Quote:

there is an update readme file included - just follow it and it will work.
all zip files include a readme on how to update the module.Quote:

Any thoughts on what I'm missing.
Thank you.

hi paul,
it must beQuote:

if you have it like this please send me yourPHP Code:<a href="{$block_url}">this link</a>

Cord, thanks for your clarifications.
I now see that Mailbeez 2.02 is the complete program as downloadable from Mailbeez.com, and the title "Automatic Trigger Email Campaigns" is just an extra title by which the program is listed in the Zen Cart software add-ons.
I also see that the modules come up in Admin for download once the basic Mailbeez software is installed, and downloading from that source is the most direct way of placing the current modules into the directory structure.
Each module appears to be for one email type.
I see there is now an install.sql SQL patch in 2.02.
In my test install which began with version 1.5, I did retain an old config.php file under mailhive/mailbeez which, when removed, allowed the modules to show in Admin.
Thanks again.

Thanks Cord.Quote:

let me know what your experiences are. I appreciate any input or even contributions like e.g "MailBeez for dummies" written by someone new to MailBeez explaining all the stuff which appears to me to be clear at first sight (but which is not)
cheers

Should that be ' = array();' (ie a single '=' for assignment)?Quote:
$this->additionalFields == array();
It gets rid of the error mesage, but is it correct?
Note that this statement is still there in the latest download.
Cheers,

hi tim,
yes, it is correct!
the == is a typo and fixed with the next release (luckyly it only gave a notice)
cheers

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll update it in my current installation and will upgrade properly later.

Hi i have this error in my debug log:
PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /hsphere/local/home/xxxxx/xxxxx.com/shop/mailhive/common/functions/template_engine.php on line 136
What does it mean and how do I fix it? Thank you!
hi joyjoy,
need to fix this with the next release.
It is only a warning - so no worries.
cheers

Hi, I need to change the phrase "no more email like this" because I want to translate it in italian.
How can this be achieved?
Thanks
hi enzo,
all email content is defined in template files - you can find the common template files
mailhive/common/templates/
just change it there and it will affect all types of mailbeez emails.
cheers

I can not use mailbeeze with cronless.
If I add in cronless the job using the url provided by mailbeeze, it says that the url can not be reached.
the url is:
http://www.x x x x x x.it/mailhive.php?b73ff7f7e0f1566fdb79364aa27eeea2=run
where x x x x x is the name of my domain.
If instead I type the url in a browser I get a correct answer from mailhive.php
What's wrong?
Thanks
enzo
hi enzo,
looks like your server can't be reached from cronless' server location.
you might need to check your DNS settings with your hoster.
cheers
cord
Hi Cord,
I do not understand what should I check.
If my site can be reached by any other browser in the world, it means, to me, that the DNS are set correctly.
Or not?
ciao
As I said it was not a DNS problem.....

Hello again, when I try to run list recipients I get these errors:
(Customers without purchase)
1054 - Unknown column 'simulation' in 'where clause'
select date_sent, iteration from mailbeez_tracking where module='nopurchase' and iteration='1' and simulation > 0 and customers_id='266' order by date_sent DESC
(Birthday Greetings)
1054 - Unknown column 'simulation' in 'where clause'
select date_sent, iteration from mailbeez_tracking where module='birthday' and iteration='2011' and simulation > 0 and customers_id='117' order by date_sent DESC
How would I fix this? Thank you.
hi joyjoy,
it is an update error due to mixing up versions.
please remove all mailbeez configuration settings with
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_key LIKE ‘MAILBEEZ_%’;
make sure you have the latest version of each file
install mailbeez with the install button in the admin
cheers
cord
Perfect that took care of it. Thank you.
This just started I am able to generate list of recipients, email html but I can not run in sim or production, I also can not send test email.
One other odd thing it shows that I do not have the 1.5 review or the other updates.
2.02 version
