Hello,
Just saw some listings on the free addons for the Mailbeez aftersales addons and wondering if anyone has tried this?
I've tried installing it on v 1.3.9d with the review feedback module and found that the parameters set on the php email is not set to pick up the information on zencart...instead it shows $storename etc when the email is received.
Any other experiences from those who tried this?
I just installed it and ran it one time and it displayed everything properly. I installed the review module that goes with it. I enabled production mode, then went to the review module and ran a simulation. All worked fine.
If your data base has zen_ in front of it you need to edit catalog/mailhive/mailbeez/config.php line 154
From
ToPHP Code:mh_db_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mailbeez_tracking (
If you have already installed, remove MailHive - Basic Configuration in admin. then click to insall again.PHP Code:mh_db_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS zen_mailbeez_tracking (
May I know what version of zencart you are using? It says it was tested on 1.3.8a but not 1.3.9d.

I just installed Mailbeez mods.
When I try to run MailBeez "no Purchase", it gives me:
MailBeez - Mode: production
Processing....
code: nopurchase module: nopurchase
Result:0 items
so no emails are sent.
why?
my send days is set to 2 days. so does that mean i have to wait for two days to be able to use mailbeez? shouldnt it just take the data from database and send emails to all customers from the past who did not make a purchase?
Thanks
hi all,
but will now keep an eye with this place as well.
@alray10: thanks for the hint! will put this zen-cart compatiblility in the next release

Hello,
I am having the same problem as the first post by sunflowertami also. i did the zen_ thing from alray10's reply but still the same problem.
Also another problem
I am using Aftersales Email Module: Review Reminder with Zen Cart 1.3.8a .
The problem here is that when sending out the emails, the images are like broken or not found. all product images can not be viewed correctly.
Anyone knows how to fix this ?
i have opened a new topic regarding it here : http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160264
hi,
what do your images-paths look like?
right click on the broken image -> properties
or
check the source-code of the email
cord
This is the code for just one image i guess.PHP Code:<blockquote><img
src="http://www.beautyhealth.com.cyDIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOGbmz_cache/3/3d234d4a17a6ed49118e5cf002ba185a.image.89x80.JPG"
alt="NEW 5 ROW BRACELET GOLD PLATED - SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL"
title=" NEW 5 ROW BRACELET GOLD PLATED - SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL "
style="position: relative;"
onmouseover="showtrail('bmz_cache/8/837ac0957ad11fe928b63671c113c360.image.134x120.JPG','NEW 5 ROW BRACELET GOLD PLATED - SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL',89,80,134,120,this,0,0,89,80);"
onmouseout="hidetrail();" vspace="0" width="89" align="left" border="0"
height="80" hspace="10"><a
href="http://www.beautyhealth.com.cy/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_write&products_id=218">NEW

<br>
<br>
<a
href="http://www.beautyhealth.com.cy/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_write&products_id=218">
As i can see the problem is the second line :
PHP Code:<img src="http://www.beautyhealth.com.cyDIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG
looks like an incompatibility issue, zen-cart does not use the constant DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG - I will fix it for the next version!
please try following
edit mailhive.php and insert e.g. as first line
(if necessary replace / with the right path)Code:define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');
this should fix the broken image.
Yes, that fixed the problem!!!
Thanks!
What about the store $storename & $storeurl problem ?
Can't find a quick answer - need to check my system but will be out for a business travel for this week soon.
Do you have the latest version of MailBeez and Modules installed?
You can check with the Check-For-Update-button in the MailBeez Admin Page.
Yes i do have the latest versions installed. i have runned the update utility this morning and all mailbeez modules are up to date.
Are all other place-holders filled with their personalized content?
Which Module are you using?
Just for a general understanding:
"View HTML / TXT": you see the message template as it is - without processing. Placeholders are shown like this: $storename
Send Test-Mail: the templates are processed and filled with test-data (defined in the module)
Run this Module: the templates are processed and filled with customers' data
I am using Review Reminder and Facebook review that currently have those 2 variables.
Currently i have replaced them with text so i am sure that it shows correctly to my customers.
That would not cause any trouble i guess, is just a slight problem that has an easy solution.
thank you for your help ! :smile:
ok, so you are ready to use MailBeez ;-)
I will have a look at the $storename issue later, the work-around you did (just typing in the value) is always possible and ok.
this is fixed with v1.3Quote:

The reason I think this is that on simulate mode, the test emails I recieve are not showing the product picture.
I have checked all known settings to me.... for email format and all have been set to HTML.....
Is there a setting im missing or something I need to change?????

Sorry for all the posts.....but I just worked out that the emails are in TXT format......how do I change this
Mailbeez on zencart is using the zencart mailengine which takes the email address to find out what format the receipient prefers.Quote:

Below is screenshot from the email Archiver for the sent emails from Mailbeez
[SCR]http://www.bidgeepumps.com.au/images/MAILBEEZProb.jpg[/SCR]
This is what I get when I preview with Email Archiver. I have highlighted the areas that seem to be coming from the Email Welcome Template.
Any reason for this????
Thanks in advance
On zencart you might need to configure which email template to use.
Can someone help?

Hi,
Thanks for the great module. I first installed V1.2 and most of MailBee was working but I could not sent the emails when I ran the MailBee "review" module. I know it is in simulate mode but I have a feeling it should give me a successful simulate message.
I upgraded to V1.3 and now it will not "List Recipients" and it gives me the below message when I run the "Review" module in simulate mode.
[scr] 1146 - Table 'goldenst_zc1.zen_mailbeez_tracking' doesn't exist
select date_sent, iteration from zen_mailbeez_tracking where module='review' and orders_id='212205' and iteration='1' and customers_id='230' order by date_sent DESC
[TEP STOP] [/scr]
Please if any one can help, I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
belaze

In simulation mode you should receive a copy of each email that would go out to the customer to your cc email address as configured in the basic configure module. What would you expect to get as feedback for a successful simulation?

Thanks again for the great module.

Hi I have installed Mailbeez and review mods on zen cart 1.3.8a. I have added the updates it found as well. However I am still running it in simulation mode because when I try to preview the email its blank, and when I try to run a test email I receive nothing to preview.
Could you let me know where you think the fault might lie, or do you think I should just try reinstalling the module?
hi,
are all popups just blank? If yes please check the documentation on the mailbeez (dot) com /documentation/installation/config/ since there are a couple of reasons why this might happen.

Hi MailBeez
Love your add on....all modules are working well except for the Facebook module. I cant seem to get a recipient to come up in testing. I have reviews for products but how do I get them to share on facebook?????
good to hear ;-)Quote:

By clicking the link the customer will get forwarded to facebook with the prefilled share dialog (facebook crawls the detailed review-page as it was submitted through the link) or the login-page of facebook.
If you sent yourself a copy of the sent emails you can try it own your own - the links in the email are "global" and not personalized - so you won't mix things up for your customers.

Found the bug - zencart is using $_SESSION['languages_id'] - but I didn't ;-)Quote:

MailBeez Version 1.5 for download
with V1.5 I am proud to introduce:
- “drop-in” installation without modifying any files! Installation is now as easy as possible - just copy files in and you are done
- opt-out/block feature for emails - customers can "opt-out" / unsubscribe per mailbeez module. The opt-out link is a generic part of the template and does not require any changes to mailbeez modules
please download the latest version on mailbeez com, through the update tool or on the zen-cart site (the update is pending approval)
enjoy

I have zencart installed on http://sierratacklecompany.com/cart/
When I send the email it comes through as HTML, but the images don't show. When I look at the source code, the path for the images that it is looking for the images is http://sierratacklecompany.com/images/ but it should be http://sierratacklecompany.com/cart/images/
Any idea how to fix this?
Hi Rk
In my limited knowledge, you have 2 options:
1. Open your FTP program and copy the image/s from your http://sierratacklecompany.com/cart/images/ directory to your http://sierratacklecompany.com/images/ directory.
OR
2. in you store/email directory, find the email you want to change and open it in notepad or with your HTML editor. In the header section (around line 30) you will see
change this toQuote:
<!-- Header Section -->
<div class="header">
<img src="images/header.jpg" alt="logo" />
</div>
I have used header.jpg as an example - please change this to match your image file nameQuote:
<!-- Header Section -->
<div class="header">
<img src="/cart/images/header.jpg" alt="logo" />
</div>
Hope this helps

MailBeez V1.5 UpgradeQuote:

If you are having issues with MailBeez V1.5 after upgrading, please check the following:
It is a good idea to note your personal settings per module and backup your files. The update affects only MailBeez-Files - and the database_tables.php files in admin and catalog.
You REALLY need to uninstall all modules (incl. Mailhive - the first one) with the "remove" button on each module.
(or run
in you phpMyAdmin to remove all MailBeez settings - tracking-data will be not affected as they are in their own table)Code:DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_key` LIKE 'MAILBEEZ_%'
You REALLY need to copy all new files and folders to your system.
There has been major changes and a manual file-by-file update would be to complex. make sure to back-up your .tpl-files of the Birthday-Module (the only module where you would like to make changes included in the package) and your common html-template.
it is also possible to rename the mailhive-folder in e.g. mailhive_v1.x and than copy the new packages in your system.
You just need to copy or move your existing mailbeez-modules into the actual mailhive-folder.
Remember to update your catalog/mailhive.php file and catalog/admin/mailbeez.php as well.
Remember that from V1.5 MailBeez supports "drop-in" installation for Zencart - please remove the additional table and filename defintions: these are now added automatically
now you are ready to install MailBeez V1.5 - a new table "mailbeez_block" will be created.
After the update your "secret URL" has changed - you need to have the same "secret" in your mailbeez-system and your Cron-job url
* Copy the "secret" from your Cron-URL into the MailBeez-configuration
OR
* Adopt the CronJob to use the new "secret" as generated by Mailbeez
If you still have trouble (?!), please use this support forum.
enjoy

Dear Cord,
I got a problem, I used version 1.2, and it worked fine, now i updated it to 1.5 with 1.4 from the review module, and now the review module doesnt work anymore.
I even removed everything, also from the database, it just doesnt work. The birthday module works fine, its just the review module.
can you help me?

Hi cord,
I just installed Mailbeez and got through the installation OK. However, when I click on View Mail (text or html) or Send Test Email, all it does is bring up a blank white box. I installed version 1.5 on Zencart. Do you know what might be wrong here?
Thanks,

Hey Cord,
Well that's the strange thing, everything works normally, when i send a testmail it says it was sends, only i wont recieve it, and zencart doesnt registrate that there is one send.
Same when i run mailbeez for real (in production mode).
Makes it any difference i use zencart 1.38?
Remco
If your images are not showing up it is because they are not listed under your cart directory.
All you have to do is edit mailhive.php this line
// zencart, xtcommerce
if (!defined('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG')) define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/YOURDIRECTORY/');
my directory would be /store/
Well i found the problem, it was in the subject template.
Now i noticed something else, all emails are send als a text email.
This while i just spend this weekend changing everything so that there are only html emails send out.
How could i fix this?
Remco
zencart 1.38 is fine.Quote:

on Zencart MailBeez is using Zencart's Mailengine. MailBeez is sending both text and html version to the Mailengine, which is then deciding which format to send. MailBeez can't influence the email format.Quote:

Hi All
Great App, all appears to be working fine on my system. I just wondered what others suggest as values for the following:
Winback Customer: (Days passed/ Days to skip after)
Customer Contact W/O Purchase: (Days passed/ Days to skip after)
Can you set the "Days to skip after" to 0 (Zero) and it should send it for "All" ?
"Max. number of copy-emails sent per MailBee" ,, What does this do ?, im not quite sure how it affects the system
I tried the app a few times and now I dont get any list of recipients, is that because it already ran "In test mode" ? Not put the app live as yet.
Many thanks in advance
Chris

Ok, I must have completely missed something here. I've downloaded and installed the newest version of MailBeez 1.6. I used cronless to setup my cron job. I can get to the module in my admin area and I can install it from there as well. But I'm not sure if it's working properly. When I try to send a test message I get a 404 error
"The requested URL /testcatalog/mailhive.php&zenid=* does not exist."
The mailhive.php file does exist. I'm pretty clueless regarding cron jobs, although cronless seemed fairly simple to setup.
Using zc 1.3.9f, php 5.2.13
Thank you for any suggestions.
Are you able to open the .../mailhive.php url in your browser?Quote:

That is probably very depending on your products / business. The "days to skip after" is depending on how often you run mailbeez. If it runs daily, it can by just 1 day more than "Days passed".Quote:

When I run it Manually ... it send the emails (if there is a birthday, of course). But for example, two weeks ago, when I installed everythin I did a test with myself. I modified my birthday in the database for sept. 13.... but that day pass and I never received any email. All these days I need to run manually and when it found a costumer birthday it send the email. However, three days ago I received a Review reminder automatically.
PS: Thanks for your quick reply. You are like me with the customers. Now I can appreciate the importance about to reply quickly.
sounds like your mailbeez are working - but did you set up a cronjob whichs calls your mailhive.php e.g. every day?Quote:

you need to use the url with your personal security key - you will find it in the mailbeez admin footer area (see documentation on mailbeez com). if you are not having any crazy mods in your zencart it will work - but of course you need to activate at least one module and hav sufficiebt data in your databaseQuote:

select date_block from zen_mailbeez_block where module='winback' and customers_id='189' order by date_block DESC
[TEP STOP]
What it means? ANy solution? THanks!
Cron - ok, so I can run the mailbeez modules by directly inputting the token in the URL. But when I try to send a test email from within the admin area I get the following 404 message:Quote:

I get this message no matter which mailbeez module I try. Thoughts?
Update from V1.x (x = 1..4) to V1.5 and higher
MailBeez is easy to install & upgrade and works fine (spent a lot of time testing this and making it easy) on all supported engines.
If you are having issues with MailBeez V1.5 after upgrading, please check the following:
It is a good idea to note your personal settings per module and backup your files. The update affects only MailBeez-Files - and the database_tables.php files in admin and catalog.
You REALLY need to uninstall all modules (incl. Mailhive - the first one) with the "remove" button on each module.
(or run
DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_key` LIKE 'MAILBEEZ_%'
in you phpMyAdmin to remove all MailBeez settings - tracking-data will be not affected as they are in their own table)
You REALLY need to copy all new files and folders to your system.
There has been major changes and a manual file-by-file update would be to complex. make sure to back-up your .tpl-files of the Birthday-Module (the only module where you would like to make changes included in the package) and your common html-template. (or write-protect them in the mailhive-folder)
it is also possible to rename the mailhive-folder in e.g. mailhive_v1.x and than copy the new packages in your system.
You just need to copy or move your existing mailbeez-modules into the actual mailhive-folder.
Remember to update your catalog/mailhive.php file and catalog/admin/mailbeez.php as well.
now you are ready to install MailBeez V1.5 - a new table "mailbeez_block" will be created.
After the update your "secret URL" has changed - you need to have the same "secret" in your mailbeez-system and your Cron-job url
* Copy the "secret" from your Cron-URL into the MailBeez-configuration
OR
* Adopt the CronJob to use the new "secret" as generated by Mailbeez
If you still have trouble (?!), please use this support forum.
enjoy

have a look at #86 in this forum - your forgot something while doing the update. Easy to fix if you follow all steps.Quote:

good to hear - so your mailbeez installation is working. Testing can be done through the MailBeez Admin interface - there you can also run each module manually.Quote:

As I can read in #83 you MailBeez installation does work in general.Quote:

Please check documentation -> basic configuration on mailbeez com for a how-to setting up cronjobs.Quote:

DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_key` LIKE 'MAILBEEZ_%' But is answered #1146 - Table 'ohmy_zc1.configuration' doesn't exist
I log off from the admin, log in... and install everything. Great. Now when I see the Birthday HTML... it show

Happy Birthday!
and the rest of the html with the cake.
The good news is that now I can see in the DB that the table "zen_mailbeez_block" was created.
no worries - it is an easy fix, just looks ugly.Quote:

2. you need to remove the table- and filename definitions (not really an error but caused the notice-output) as with V1.5 mailbeez supports "drop-in" installation.
With your ealier installation you modified
includes/database_tables.php
includes/filenames.php
Check both on shop-level and in admin-directory and remove the following statements:
PHP Code:define('TABLE_MAILBEEZ_TRACKING'...)
PHP Code:define('FILENAME_MAILBEEZ', 'mailbeez.php');
define('FILENAME_HIVE', 'mailhive.php');
if you still get the ugly "Notice:..." output go to mailhive.php and disable error reporting (like zencart does by default to hide errors...)
will take this issues into the next release of mailbeez.PHP Code:define('STRICT_ERROR_REPORTING', false); //change from true to false
does it work now?
Yesssss... at least with this last code, the error doesn't appear anymore. Now it work perfect. I paste the Secure Cronjob-URL and no more error. Thanks a lot man!
I'm thinking to buy any module but I want to see what works betters to me. Thanks a lot!
PS: BTW when you think in a new version and wants to give some upgrade to the graphics, contact me. www.ohmyicons.com. I work for some developers and companies designing 3D icons and more graphic stuff.
I was looking at the instructions for this module: Aftersales Automatic Trigger Email Campaigns with Modules.
I don't understand the instructions at step #4 to run a cronjob. (I don't even know what one really is. I guess its a way of making something run automatically)
Anyway I went to my server cPanel and looked at Cronjob but I don't see where I enter the url as given in step #4.
Can someone explain this part of the installation? The module says its a "drop-in" installation - no need to modify any file in you zencart-shop! But the instructions don't indicate this at all...
Thanks in advance
I suggest you use google to read what a cronjob is - but you are right, a cronjob can be set up to automate things at a given time.Quote:

Other cart engines requires to manually go into some configuration files and enter e.g. the name of a new database-table. Zen-Cart is very advanced in this area and allows just to "drop-in" some files which then are automatically included.Quote:

ok thank you for the reply! I didn't know I could run it manually. So I take it I can just go ahead and add the add-on to my store and wait later to do the cronjob as in step 4? Maybe I just got thrown for a loop when reading the instructions. Most add-ons that all you have to do is ftp the contents just say so and the instructions led me to think I had to do more... Obviously I was reading into things. Thanks again
There is any kind of multilanguage support for emails?
I manage a store with 5 different languages and I need to send each customer an email in his/her chosen language...
Thanks in advance,
Ale:blush:
No, the 404 is not the same. I have 4 mailbeez modules installed and I don't get a successful response from any of them. Here is the result of trying to send a test email:Quote:

The "zenid" changes every time. I can successfully pull up mailhive.php in my browser. I also tried doing this in "production" mode, but got the same results. I tried to delete everything including the two DB entries and reinstalling, but same result. Is there anything else I can try? I won't be able to use this mod if I can't do this. Thanks.
you got it - just give mailbeez a try, should take only some minutes (really)Quote:
