Flash [AS 2.0] - Email Subscription Form

[joe124c41]

I was tinkering with the email_subscription_form.fla and I almost have it done!

Everything in Flash is working fine and the swf works as expected, but the confirmation email never gets sent, so Im assuming the email never gets fully passed through Dada?

I used this to check:
http://site.com/cgi-bin/mail.cgi?f=subscribe_flash_xml&l=list&e=name@site.com&test=1

and got this error:

Code: Select all

<!--beginsubscription_check_xml.tmpl--><subscription><email>name@site.com</email><status>1</status><errors></errors></subscription><!--endsubscription_check_xml.tmpl-->Content-type: text/html

<h1>Program Error (Server Error 500)</h1>
                  <hr />
             <p>
              <em>
              More information about this error may be available in the
              server error log and/or program error log.
              </em>
             </p>
             <hr />
               <pre>BAD List name &quot;&quot;  at /DADA/MailingList/Subscribers/baseSQL.pm line 63
</pre>

Server Error Log:
[Fri Oct 16 12:46:50 2009] mail.cgi: BAD List name "" at /DADA/MailingList/Subscribers/baseSQL.pm line 63

The baseSQL.pm,
LINE63:" $self->{ls} = DADA::MailingList::Settings->new({-list => $args->{-list}}); "


Any ideas? I know this list had a two letter short list name, could that be a factor?

I setup the flash form on another site as well with a four letter short listname, and I got slightly different results:

Code: Select all

<h1>Program Error (Server Error 500)</h1>
                  <hr />
             <p>
              <em>
              More information about this error may be available in the
              server error log and/or program error log.
              </em>
             </p>
             <hr />
               <pre>BAD List name &quot;&quot;  at /DADA/MailingList/Subscribers/PlainText.pm line 49
</pre>

Server Error Log:
[Fri Oct 16 11:57:44 2009] mail.cgi: BAD List name "" at /DADA/MailingList/Subscribers/PlainText.pm line 49

The Plaintext.pm LINE 49:" $self->{ls} = DADA::MailingList::Settings->new({-list => $args->{-list}}); "

Thanks to anyone who has ideas! Im stuck, getting better at error corrections and reading code, but still more to learn.

yess in the flash example list is equal l but should be list and email is equal e but should be email

http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.c ... flash_xml&list=listshortname&email=someone@address.com

My way:

Code: Select all

var status = 1;
var errors = new Array();
var message = '';
var email = '';
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;// Must have

var Dada:LoadVars = new LoadVars();// NO XML

var Dadar:XML = new XML();// Used for response

Code: Select all

Dada.list="shortnamelist";
   Dada.f="subscribe_flash_xml";
   Dada.email="somebody@somedomain.som";
   alt = _root.dada_dot_cgi;
   Dada.sendAndLoad(_root.dada_dot_cgi,Dadar,"POST");
   Dadar.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
      if (success) {

// check the result from (Dadar) just like in the flash5 example
}else{
// connection problem ...
}
}


I hope this helps

Looks good! Better than my example!

If you make an entire .fla file (that we can distribute with Dada Mail), I'll be more than happy to ship it with Dada Mail :)

Cris,

I reviewed the code and I uploaded it today and I am using Dada 4.0.2, the only variables I changed were the list's SHORT name and var dada_dot_cgi = 'http://site.com/dada/mail.cgi'; I do not have a folder named cgi-bin so I changed the url slightly.

It says connection problem when I submit. Does the code need any updating to work with the latest version?

Justin, any thoughts or insights?

Thanks for the help guys.
