FEATURE REQUEST - Manual Add of Subscribers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice for people transitioning from other mail list management
schemes to be able to add or import their existing mail list addresses.

I would like to see more detailed instructions or an example for the CSS in the 
front
office.  I can not get this to work because I do not know what to put in the
subscription form where it says <!--enter your html-->

and I don't know what to put in the css to get things like the loading gif to 
work. 
I appreciate the work but I think the instructions need to be written for those 
of us
who are less skilled in this stuff.

Thanks for the wqork

Definitely needs the ability to manually add users so we don't have to force 
existing
subscribers to re-subscribe. This is definitely headed in the right direction 
and the
plugin is much needed. Thanks.

I'd like to concur with the others above. This is a nearly perfect mail list 
program 
based on what I've seen.

The only thing lacking is the ability to submit an existing user list via an 
admin 
interface. A carriage return delimited list or something like that. Then I 
could say 
it's perfect.

I have updated the Wiki (see Instructions page) to provide more detailed 
installation
instructions. The loading image does not require you to add any CSS in order to 
be
displayed.

gerenm, NoHandleBars, and bjohnmas...:
The suggested feature seems to be both useful and interesting. I will try to 
include
it in the next version of the plugin.
Meanwhile, if you want to contribute to the development of such feature, feel 
free to
attach a solution. Credits for your work will be added to the plugin.

Thanks Tiago,
When I click on the button to subscribe an email nothing happens.  What tables 
should
be installed on activation (I see one).

I like this plugin and think it will be much better than the other mail plugins 
I
have tried.  I just need to get it working and I am sure it is something I have 
done,
I just don't know what.

BTW, I use a widgetized theme (maybe a widget for the sidebar could be added in 
the
future).  The regular text boxes do not allow php so I tried a King text widget
(which does) but still no luck when I click the submit button.

Please do not use this thread to submit issues or new feature requests.

For those who wish to add a new feature request, create a new issue and add
"Type-Enhancement" as a label instead of "Type-Defect".

Thank you.

p...@gbg.bg:
I will open a new issue reporting this bug.

Tiago,

Thanks. When I opened this thread, I wasn't given an option to add the
'Type-Enhancement', for whatever reason. Anyway, thanks for your work on this. 
If I
could code, I'd be glad to help. But, alas, I can't write worth a damn. I'll be 
glad
to be a guinea pig, though. I'm real good at breaking stuff!  <grin>

gerenm,

I have just noticed that non members of this project do not have access to these
labels. So please ignore the label part.

Summing up, if you wish to add a new feature request, or a issue report, please
create a new issue. 

Thank you all for your feedback.

Hello Tiago, no progress on that feature yet?  Your newsletter tool is great, 
please
keep it live!

Thanks!

I would suggest another section on the Settings > Newsletter section above the 
list
of current subscribers to add new users manually.

To do so, I'm not a PHP expert by any means, but can't you just create a form 
page
(or just code) for the SQL to add new users into the database?  Or is it not 
that simple?

Hello Tiago,

As everybody think, your plugin is almost perfect. I needed to add 1500 email
manually, so I have written necessary script who print the good query. It reads 
CSV
file and outputs sql querry:

INSERT INTO `wp_snews_members` (`id`, `email`, `state`, `joined`,
`user`, `confkey`) VALUES
(1,'test@test.com','active','2008-09-18
18:41:53',1,62ff0bd83d4fefb646ea386913442b78),
(2,'test2@test.com','active','2008-09-18
18:41:53',1,05c0a2d55bac53364c0c1d5d1390081c);

See attached files

The only thing we will have to change is replace coma " , " with
semicolon " ; " in the last line of output in you generated sql file.

Thanks Sébastien,
it's what I was looking for. Could you please write a step by step guide for 
using
your script?
Many thanks
