I did download that but did not install it because all modules are fine.

I found the file from the V1.7 and installed it, now is Working !!!!

Hope did not mess up any other modules!

ok, am happy to hear you could fix it.

The only way to miss up things in MailBeez is by doing uncomplete upgrades and mixing files of different versions :wink: Buy you already know how to do it :wink:

As long as you follow the step-by-step instructions it will work rock-solid

Hi

I have just uploaded the files to my site. When I go to Admin > Tools and then click on Mailbeez , as it states in the basic configuration instructions, I get an HTTP 500 error. I believe I should be seeing an Install button.

Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know why this is not working?

hi bakedblue,

did you check the rights for file / folders?

Doesn't look like an issue with MailBeez, but your Webserver - which could be caused by Read/Write/Execute settings?

I've installed Mailbeez on a 1.3.9g system with the Checkout without Account add-on. Is there any way to stop sending the e-mail to customers that checked out without creating an account?

hi,

that is do-able, but not in place yet. You can add a feature request on mailbeez com.

If this is urgent feel free to contact me directly

My Cron Job Finally Works! Here's how:

If you are like me and this is your first cron job then the learning curve is steep. My web host said I need to prefix the URL with the path to the PHP module hence the /usr/bin/php at the beginning. They also said to use an absolute path instead of an http://xxx . But it's this last bit that actually got it working. The PHP variable "?" needed to be removed from the URL and left with a space.

So instead of:
/usr/bin/php -q /home/MYUSERNAME/PATH/mailhive.php?MYID=run

It became:
/usr/bin/php -q /home/MYUSERNAME/PATH/mailhive.php MYID=run

Took me a week to work it out. Hope your journey is shorter.
GREAT Module BTW!!

Cheers,
Rob

hi labrat,

thanks a lot, I updated the basic configuration on mailbeez com documentation with your information.

The way to call cronjobs is different from the hoster, many prefer to use e.g. cronless.com.

On my server it runs perfect with

lynx -dump URL

(lynx is a text-based browser)

GREAT Module BTW!!
thanks a lot! enjoy MailBeez ;-)

In the winback module when I view the email it shows the URL as http://www.domain.com/index.php?main_page=index&1

Why is there &1?

Anyways, I think the main class should just use:

'storeurl' => HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG,

Ok, I realized now that there should be google analytics tracking. We just sent out 9087 emails using Winback and it had index&1 in all of the emails instead of the tracking, even though all of that is configured properly.

Here is a hint to help you find the bug, on another website, I downloaded the version from Zen Cart downloads section first and then upgraded to 1.7 on top of that after receiving the notification in the Mailbeez admin. In that installation, the tracking info works properly.

In the installation where we installed the version from your site right off the bat, we get the &1 problem...

hi numinix,

let me check this - I think the URL is generated by zencart just giving the FILENAME_DEFAULT.

You can always put a static customer URL into your template

For your function mh_href_link() I commented out:

                //$args[3] = true;
                //$args[4] = true;
                //$args[5] = true; // set static link

This stopped the &1 from being appended to the URL, but Google Analytics is still not rewriting the url to add the utm tracking even though it is enabled in configuration.

Note this website is using Magic SEO URLs.

hi numinix,

For your function mh_href_link() I commented out:
this will break mailbeez in other areas! had to put it in to make mailbeez compatible with zencart. Don't change it - it will break the system.

guess the reason is located here?

You can try to debug the URL rewrite output in the google analytics class
mailhive\common\classes\googleanalytics.php
e.g. like this at the end of the "rewriteContent" method:

// some quick-and-dirty debug:
echo $input;
echo $rewritten;
exit();

return $rewritten;

Did that and there is no change.  The debug output isn't even happening so for some reason this class function is not being invoked even though it is enabled...

the GA URL rewrite is only triggered when you send an email e.g. through "send test" or "run module in production mode".

did you try that?

ywa, the problem is I receive only the text version in the test and it does not contain the utm tracking code.

ok, that explains a lot ;-)

have a look at mailbeez com support FAQ how to receive html emails.

only links like <a href="url"> are rewritten, so no urls by itself.

This is because I somehow think it is "better" to hide the GA parameters from the user

Thanks for this awesome mod!!!

When I look at the emails in any of the modules, the popup comes up and is filled with tons of notice messages such as

Notice: Constant ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS already defined in xxxxxxxx (the path to the file)

Also these mailbeez-specific messages are in those messages:

Notice: Undefined property: mailbeez_check::$additionalFields in xxxxxx/mailhive/common/classes/mailbeez.php on line 67

Any ideas why this is happening and what to do to fix it or turn off the notice messages? There are over 100 messages before I finally scroll down enough to see the actual email content.

Thanks again for this mod, it is totally what we needed!

forgot to mention I'm using v1.7 and all of the latest modules from the mailbeez site.
