I give away several freebies to get people onto my lists, but I want to avoid having people on several parallel lists and getting duplicate emails. The simple solution seems to be to subscribe 'sign ups' to 2 lists simultaneously. List 1 auto-returns the subscriber to a 'dedicated' thank you page with the download link, sends 1 message then stops. List 2 waits for a day then commences a standard sequence of messages. I'm trying to implement this by doubling up the subscribe lines in the html form: <input type="hidden" name="task" value="subscribe"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list1"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list2"> <input type="hidden" name="language" value="eng"> List 1 is supposed to redirect to the 'thank you' page with a link, but instead I am now getting a confirmation screen from sub.pl confirming addition to the lists. I wonder if there is a way to avoid this and have the subscriber sent to the thank you page defined in list 1 instead? | ||

Hello Rex, Yes, there is a way... Instead of: <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list1"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list2"> Use: <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list1"> Then go the "List Settings" section, choose list1 and change the setting so subscribers to list1 will automatically added to list2 as well.

Hello Frank Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I don't seem to have that option in List Settings - only 2 options to remove from other lists. I bought the complete scripts package last year (March) and I can't remember updating it, so I guess I probably have an old version. I don't suppose there is some workaround for this limitation, maybe by modifying a line or two of the script directly? Best regards, Rex | ||

Hi Frank As it seem that there is no way around this problem with my old copy of the MRP script, I have tried to upgrade it to the latest version at half price as offered. Unfortunately because I bought the complete script package rather than just MRP, your system is not allowing me to upgrade just the autoresponder (I am not currently using any of the other scripts). I do need to get this problem of multiple lists sorted out, and your suggestions would be appreciated. Season's greetings, Rex | ||

Hi Rex, Add2it Complete Pro currently sells at the same price as Add2it MailResponder Pro... $97. So the 50% off upgrade costs in both cases $48.50.

Hi Frank I have now upgraded to version 1.10 of MRP. However I am very disappointed that I still do not see any option in 'List Settings' to add subscribers to another list - only the 2 options to remove from other lists (i.e. no change from version 1.02). I must be missing something obvious? Could you please tell me step by step how to implement your advice in Post 41 above ("go the "List Settings" section, choose list1 and change the setting so subscribers to list1 will automatically added to list2 as well.") Regards, Rex | ||

Hi Rex, Hmmm... you are right, I must have confused that with Add2it Mailman Pro. Let me check again how we can get that to work in version 1.10 of Add2it MailResponder Pro... Ok, I found the solution. I will email you an updated sub.pl file and then you can simply use this form code... <input type="hidden" name="task" value="subscribe"> <input type="hidden" name="success_url" value="http://yourdomain.com/your_success_page.html"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list1"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="list2"> <input type="hidden" name="language" value="eng"> Sincerely, Frank Bauer ============================================================ Would you like more... ?

Hello Frank I've replaced sub.pl in my updated installation with the file you sent, and changed my form code to: <input type="hidden" name="task" value="subscribe"> <input type="hidden" name="success_url" value="http://www.mindwaves.co.uk/thank_you.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="bcn"> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="main"> <input type="hidden" name="language" value="eng"> Unfortunately I'm still getting a confirmation screen from sub.pl confirming addition to the lists (as per my first post) with no 'success_url' page showing, i.e., still no change I'm afraid. Regards, Rex | ||

Hmmm... are you 100% sure you uploaded the file I send you into the correct directory? Also, at what URL is your opt-in form located?

Hi Frank. Mea culpa - I rechecked the sub.pl file size and realised that Filezilla had been set to 'skip duplicate files', so the old sub.pl was still there. The patch seems to be working fine now. Thanks for that. Have a great New Year! Rex |
