6.6.1 css & signatures

September 24th 2013 PDT

I just upgraded to the latest version of Dada and something strange is going on with the styling. My drop down to switch lists is showing with white text on a white background; the shadow on the text is the only thing that allows me to see the words at all. Here's a screenshot:https://www.evernote.com/shard/s109/sh/c57179f5-5b2e-4bd7-8c8e-e7bec0b007d3/a091b8b3aa8c7a3da706f28e1b21975cHere's the applicable styling as it is loading on the page:.select2-container .select2-results li {    cursor: pointer ...Continue Reading

Dada Mail jQuery plugin

September 18th 2013 PDT

Hello everyone, I've been playing around with making a jQuery plugin, to place a subscription form anywhere on a webpage. Right now, you invoke it like this, $(document).ready(function() { $("#target").DadaMailSubForm( { DadaMailURL: "http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi" } ); }); And that'll place the subscription form on your page, in whatever has the id of, "target". When you submit the form, it'll be handled by the experimental RESTful API, via AJAX calls, just ...Continue Reading

v6.7.0 Beta 1 Released: "Save as Draft" Feature

September 17th 2013 PDT

Hello everyone - v6.7.0 Beta 1 has been released - this is the release with the, "Save as Draft" feature implemented, which is really nice. It'll be a, "How'd we live without this?" sort of thing, and hopefully should open the doors for other features, like scheduled mailings built around it, and Stationary - pre-built messages you can load up. Ah, but that's the future. This release also has support for configuring and testing the CAPTCHA systems that are supported by Dada Mail: Dada Mail's own, ...Continue Reading

Justin,In my first message, I made the comment about "exec_cb => sub { 1 }" being extra-important because of path issues.  I accidentally forgot to mention that /it's primary purpose/ is to allow things like fork() to work,  It forces the CGI file to be forked and executed instead of compiled into a persistent PSGI app. Moshe--Moshe Katz-- moshe@PROTECTED-- +1(301)867-3732 On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 1:56 PM, Justin J <justin@PROTECTED> wrote: Interesting.

Re: Dada Mail on nginx

September 16th 2013 PDT

Someone noted that I did not include a sample nginx configuration file for this, so here it is:server {        server_name lists.example.com;       root /home/example.com/sites/lists.example.com;       location ~* \.psgi$ {                return 403;        }       location ~* \.cgi$ {                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;       & ...Continue Reading

Interesting. The author of Plack::App::CGIBin (Miyagawa); is somewhat brilliant. I'm curious what's gonna happen when you send a mass mailing out - there's a fork() Dada Mail does, that may not jive well, with a persistent environment. ...Continue Reading

Dada Mail on nginx

September 16th 2013 PDT

Hello All,I just wanted to share my experience getting Dada Mail to work on nginx.  Nginx does not have built in support for traditional CGI applications (of which Dada Mail is one), so it won't work out of the box. To make a /very /long story short, here is the* Plack* wrapper script to use:use Plack::App::CGIBin;use Plack::Builder; use Path::Class qw( file );my $path = file($0)->absolute->dir; my $app = Plack::App::CGIBin->new(root => $path, exec_cb => sub { 1 } )->to_app;builder ...Continue Reading

Re: More, "Save as Draft" Teasers

September 15th 2013 PDT

Hey Justin,This looks really good.  I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's done.  (Unfortunately, I don't have time to test the drafts feature out right now, but I hope to be doing an install for a client in the next month or so, and will test it out then.) On a mostly unrelated note, I just wanted to let you know that many email programs (primarily Windows-based; I didn't have time to do an exhaustive test) do not display the screenshots that you have included in your last few messages.  I don't k ...Continue Reading
