We’ll get this fixed but you’ll have to bare with us.

I’m sure this would of been picked up on during testing so think it will be your specific setup causing the issue.

This was built based on the link you gave, if your trying to include an ID and it’s failing I reckon it’s because constant contact don’t like that.

If your importing contacts the file should like exactly like the txt or CSV examples on this link because the plugin parses the file you upload, if I remember this correctly:
https://constantcontact.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/constantcontact.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2523

I’ve not tested or used this for a while so could be broke now for all I know ??

It could be many reasons why this fails, without the files your talking about I have no way to know what your uploading.
Presumably it’s a text file with one email address per line?
If that’s the case I think you have to include an EmailAddress column but please read the docs at constant contact as I’m unsure.

You need to use the register plus plugin or some other plugin that allows you to add custom fields.

The constant contact plugin does not let you actually add fields, it just lets you tell it that you have fields you would like to send to constant contact, and maps those fields to the names of the fields in your form.

I’ve not tested the plugin for a while personally but welcome the changes Zack has made, I think this sounds like the cache problem others have reported recently, if so a fix will be released soon.

If your familar with wordpress you can try manually clearing the cached data and see if that fixes this, if it does’nt likely the problem is elsewhere, please report your findings back here if you go down that route.

It’s something we should probably add but I don’t have time personally for at least a few months.

The plugin was built this way after receiving feedback from many users of the drupal module, not everyone wanted it to work the way you describe, it did previously work like that in the drupal module and when I changed it nobody ever complained about it because it provides the best of both worlds as far as I’m concerned, infact your the only person who has complained about the way the contact list selection works, albeit not the only person who has said the inline comments are confusing :(.

My thinking was that some people want to do what you described but some people also want it so newly added lists automatically appear without having to go into the plugin interface and specifically enable each new list.

I would not recommend you change this Zack unless you can get a few more users to agree that it would be more useful without more options, I know for a fact you’ll piss off some users straight away by doing this.

Perhaps we can make it so it’s just more friendly to use like we have discussed before, maybe use some ajax to change descriptions depending on the list selection method (checkbox or drop down) and maybe even providing an option to say something like “Do you want to show all lists or only show the contact lists you choose?” then when they select one of those it will show the corresponding set of checkboxes for them to choose which lists to hide or show?

Please do not rush into anything on this without consulting more users ??

Thanks,
James

I think one of the other plugins you have installed is breaking it somehow.

Please try disabling any plugins that modify the register page and see if it works then.

I can’t answer your last question.
What browser are you using?
Can I see an example of the form which has the problem please?

Paulmp.
I’ve not called you a liar, I develop this plugin for free please remember, and I’m not trying to push any services on you.

If you don’t follow instructions what can I do???
The plugin is NOT compatible with wordpress version 3.

Please listen to what your told.

Thank you.
James

You can’t have done because it works fine, please read the inline comments, you can select either hide or show lists, NOT both.

yes it’s possible but you’ll have to know PHP to be able to edit the plugin yourself.

You can already add a signup form with custom fields but the countries and states are not supported correctly at the moment, constant contact provide the lists we can use so should not be hard to add this.

We have plans for this as mentioned, you seem to know PHP so if you decide to implement this yourself please let us have the code and we can probaly include it within the plugin for everyone to use.
