On 2 of my installs, the Scheduled Mailer (v7.0.5) suddenly stopped working a week or two ago. They were on two different servers with 2 different hosting companies using two different control panel interfaces, so I have to wonder if there was a core software update pushed for Perl or some other software that changed things. One of the installs I upgraded to v8 and it is working fine and the other I just reconfigured Dada to turn off the scheduled mailer because I wasn’t using it. Yesterday, I suddenly started get ...Continue Reading

Hi everyone - v9 is out the door! Here's the announcement: http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/dada_announce/20151208231207/ The diff file for this release is something like 109 *thousand* lines long, so it's a pretty substantial upgrade - and it's 99.9% focused on the front end. Dada Mail has over 300 separate template files/views, and it was no small task to convert them all into using the Foundation framework (soooooo many divs slung) - I feel that I now have a career of experience working i ...Continue Reading

I am having significant trouble saving an email as a draft. It also happens when I send an email. Very often, I get the following error which then closes the Send screen, requires me to log back into Dada Mail, and all recent changes to the email are lost:It is not related to specific text because when I paste in my content from notepad into the source window and save, it might fail, but doing it again exactly the same it might succeed. It even happened once with the following source:I have tested this for a long time ...Continue Reading

Hi Justin,The code you provided so long ago, still works like a charm for creating a subject tag that can be referenced in the body of the email. Here's how I am using it: In my email template, I format the message in the template as:<p><font face="Arial" size="4">Subject: </font></p><font size="3">Hello [subscriber.first_name],and it produces an email exactly what I want:Dada Mail rules!Carl [*] Post: mailto:dadadev@PROTECTED [*] Unsubscribe » [* ...Continue Reading

I’m having an issue with an installation that I manage for a sports booster club. We have cheap hosting and the resources are fine for our needs, but sharing a mail server with everyone else is a nightmare. If I used amazon SES integrated with Dada, would that solve the problem? And is that possible with Bridge, or only with announce-only mailings? Mary Ann ...Continue Reading

I think Moshe's suggestion is exactly what you're looking for, but if you do need to run the cronjob as a path to a file, rather than via curl, you can do something like this: http://dadamailproject.com/d/features-scheduled_cronjobs.pod.html#Running-the-scheduled-jobs-via-the-command-line ie: cd /home/youraccount/public_html/cgi-bin/dada; /usr/bin/perl ./mail.cgi flavor=_sched513A3F128C5C41EC schedule=_all list=_all output_mode=_verbose The problem with this (in your case) is it's not just an absolute path to a ...Continue Reading

The only thing I'm having trouble with is updating an existing email address. OK - I know what that may be: In the, dada_mail_support_files/static/javascripts/dada_mail.js See if there's a line like this: $("#tabs").tabs(); //{ heightStyle: "auto" } If so, remove it. If this is the problem, just loading that screen shou ...Continue Reading

Hi Eric,I’m not sure if my client has command line access or not (I do on my dedicated, but this is on shared hosting for a client). I’m going to try Moshe’s suggestion first since that is along the lines of what her support suggested.Thanks for the reply!Mary Ann On Dec 2, 2015, at 2:37 PM, Eric Tyrer etyrer@PROTECTED [Dada Mail Developers] <dadadev@PROTECTED> wrote:Hi Mary..Do you have access to the terminal/console on your server?here’s a good article on basics of cronnie http://code.tutsplus.com/tutori ...Continue Reading
