[Plugin: Knews Multilingual Newsletters] Add a user in php, without the form

Hi @drskullster!

You are right! In next versions we will include a simple function call to externally manage users: add, activate, deactivate, etc.

For now, the right way to do this, are:

1) Copy the entire function add_user_self() into wherever you want (I suggest the theme functions.php file)

2) Rename all $this-> for $Knews_plugin-> (search and replace will help you)

3) Comment this lines:

/*
$lang = mysql_real_escape_string($this->post_safe('lang_user'));
			$lang_locale = mysql_real_escape_string($this->post_safe('lang_locale_user'));
			$email = mysql_real_escape_string($this->post_safe('email'));
			$date = $this->get_mysql_date();
			$confkey = $this->get_unique_id();
			$id_list_news = intval($_POST['user_knews_list']);

			$stupid_bot = false;
			$key = md5(date('dmY') . KNEWS_VERSION . get_bloginfo('version'));
			if ($this->post_safe('knewskey') != $key) $stupid_bot = true;
			if (date('G') == 0 && $stupid_bot) {
				$key = md5(date('dmY', strtotime("-1 day")) . KNEWS_VERSION . get_bloginfo('version'));
				if ($this->post_safe('knewskey') == $key) $stupid_bot = false;
			}

			if ($this->post_safe('knewscomment') != '') $stupid_bot = true;

			if (!$this->validEmail($email) || $stupid_bot) {
				echo '<div class="response"><p>' . $this->get_custom_text('ajax_wrong_email', $lang_locale) . ' <a href="#" onclick="window.location.reload()">' . $this->get_custom_text('dialogs_close_button', $lang_locale) . '</a></p></div>';
				return false;
			}
*/

4) Then, add this code in the same place and customize yourself:

$lang = 'en'; //The lang you want
			$lang_locale = 'en_US'; //The localised lang
			$email = '[email protected]';
			$date = $Knews_plugin->get_mysql_date();
			$confkey = $Knews_plugin->get_unique_id();
			$id_list_news = 1; //An valid ID mailing list

if (!$Knews_plugin->validEmail($email)) {
  return false;
}

5) Now, go to the end of your function and find:

if ($submit_mail) {

					if ($this->submit_confirmation ($email, $confkey, $lang_locale)) {
						echo $this->get_custom_text('ajax_subscription', $lang_locale);
					} else {
						echo $this->get_custom_text('ajax_subscription_error', $lang_locale);
					}
				} else {
					if (count($subscription_found)==0) {
						echo $this->get_custom_text('ajax_subscription_direct', $lang_locale);
					} else {
						echo $this->get_custom_text('ajax_subscription_oops', $lang_locale);
					}
				}

				echo '</p></div>';

Comment all the echos and add the code you need for every case:

– subscription ok, email confirmated
– error submitting email
– already subscribed to other mailing list, new mailing list added
– already subscribed to this mailing list

Hi Carles,

It works just fine with your solution.

Many thanks !

Hello!

The new version (knews 1.1.5) has a direct way to include users:

$Knews_plugin->add_user(email, id_list_news, lang, lang_locale)

e.g.

$Knews_plugin->add_user(‘[email protected]’, 1, ‘en’, ‘en_US’)

You should use this way in order to get compatibility with future knews versions.

Regards,
Carles.

Very nice,

Thanks !

Is there an easy way to implement an external user: add, activate, deactivate, etc. yet?

Just wondering as I’m having problems adding the above solution.

Thanks
Bjorn

hello! excuse my not perfect english!
First of all: great plugin!
My problem: I have to put any person utilize my CF7 (contact form 7 plugin) on my site on the mailinglist of knews. I’ve tried this code:

add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_conversion' );

	function my_conversion( $cf7 )
	{
	$email = $cf7->posted_data["your-email"];
	$name = $cf7->posted_data["your-name"];
	$Knews_plugin->add_user($email, 7, 'it', 'it_IT');
	return TRUE;
	}

in functions.php file.
The page with contact form rest in sending and nothing happen (no mail – no adding user).

if I comment the line add_user it work (send email normally), but obiouvsly the mailing list don’t change

if I put only the line for test the function
$Knews_plugin->add_user('[email protected]', 7, 'it', 'it_IT');
it work…

where I wrong?

at the end last question: can I put in ML another information like name and activation? Something like that:
$Knews_plugin->add_user($email, 7, 'it', 'it_IT', $name, 'activate');

Thanks a lot for any reply!!
