Find these lines in subscribelib2.php:

} elseif ((isset($_POST["subscribe"]) || isset($_POST["update"])) && !is_email($_POST["email"])) {
$msg = ”.$strEnterEmail.”;

Replace with:

} elseif ((isset($_POST["subscribe"]) || isset($_POST["update"])) && !is_email($_POST["email"])) {
// $msg = ”.$strEnterEmail.”;
header(“Location: http://yoursite.com/invalidemail.html“);

Use whatever URL you want to redirect it to. I just inserted a variable in the URL (index.php?valid=false) then added this line of code to the custom subscribe page:

<?php
$p = $_GET["valid"];
if ($p == "false") {
print "Please enter a valid e-mail address.”;
?>

Hope this helps!

Great thread with some great comments.

I have successfully managed to customise all pages except the preferences page.

Every time the user clicks on the “update preferences” link in the email – they get take to the default “request your personal location” page, even though the email link correctly adds the UID to the end of the URL. It just doesn’t seem to want to recognise it!

I have tried adjusting the Admin>Config>”Edit URL for preferences” but no good. I have also tried various PHP hacks found when searching the (very messy) forum.

If anyone has managed to customise the preferences page so that the user can change their details on a page within your own site design – I would dearly love to know how!

As Jason says, I don’t know why it is so difficult to customise PHPList so it can be integrated easily!

Looking forward to any helpful replies!
Cheers

I’m left with one problem, when a person enters an invalid email address, phplist keeps redirecting me to the default “Please enter a valid email address” page, how can i modify that?

The link i’m getting is:
http://mydomain/newsletter/?p=subscribe&id=3

index.php line 654

if ($userid)
$res .= ”.$GLOBALS["strUnsubscribeDone"] .”";

When you make it like showed here..

if ($userid)
//$res .= ”.$GLOBALS["strUnsubscribeDone"] .”";
$res = header(“Location: http://youtdomain/youragoner“);

then on submit it redirects to your page.
Only i could not get it to work with an own page form.

I made an own form page(get) and made it direct to a page with this code:

Statet here http://packetcloud.net/tag/phplist/

works good for me with a redirection to my thanx page in it.

hope this can help someone and thx for the scripts here.

I´m really looking forward to customize my unsubscribe page! did you have the chance to find out how this is going to work? unfortunately I can´t figure it out on my own…

thanks!

For the custom landing page after the user clicks the confirmation link in the confirmation email:

In /lists/index.php, comment out the following lines (576-581):

$res = ”.$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].”;
$res .= $data["header"];
$res .= ”.$info.”;
$res .= $html;
$res .= “”.$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].”;
$res .= $data["footer"];

In order to comment out the lines, add a /* at the beginning of line 576, and a */ after line 581, to make it look like this:

/* $res = ”.$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].”;
$res .= $data["header"];
$res .= ”.$info.”;
$res .= $html;
$res .= “”.$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].”;
$res .= $data["footer"];
*/

Add in the following line immediately after these lines:

$res = header(‘Location: http://www.domain.com/thanks-for-confirming-your-subscription.html‘);

(Assuming your custom landing page is http://www.domain.com/thanks-for-confirming-your-subscription.html).
(Also note the single quotation marks. If you use double quotation marks, it will not work, because everything after the // in the URL will be treated as a comment.)

For the custom landing page after the subscribe form is filled out:

In /lists/admin/subscribelib2.php, comment out lines 299 and 301, and add lines immediately after these lines, so the section now looks like this:

# personalise the thank you page
if ($subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"]) {
// $thankyoupage = $subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"];
header(‘Location: http://www.domain.com/thanks-for-subscribing‘);
} else {
// $thankyoupage = ”.$strThanks.”. $strEmailConfirmation;
header(‘Location: http://www.domain.com/thanks-for-subscribing‘);
}

(Note that you are adding the same line twice, once after line 299 and once after line 301. Also note again the single quotes.)

I’ll post again once I get the code for the unsubscribe and preference pages figured out.

I suggest you guys try these.

For customized thank you page:
go to admin then open subscribelib2.php line 298. the original code is:

if ($subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"]) {
$thankyoupage = $subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"];
} else {
$thankyoupage = ”.$strThanks.”. $strEmailConfirmation;

change it to:

if ($subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"]) {
$thankyoupage = $subscribepagedata["thankyoupage"];
header(“Location: http://www.yourdomain/your_thankyou_page.php“);
} else {
$thankyoupage = ”.$strThanks.”. $strEmailConfirmation;

For customized confirmation page (page after user click confirmation in their email):
go to lists then open index.php line 576. the original code is:

$res = ”.$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].”;
$res .= $data["header"];
$res .= ”.$info.”;
$res .= $html;
$res .= “”.$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].”;
$res .= $data["footer"];
return $res;

change it to:

$res = ”.$GLOBALS["strConfirmTitle"].”;
header(“Location: http://www.yourdomain/your_confirm_page.php“);
$res .= $data["header"];
$res .= ”.$info.”;
$res .= $html;
$res .= “”.$GLOBALS["PoweredBy"].”;
$res .= $data["footer"];
return $res;

and you’re done! I do all these steps, and it work great with no hiccup; all emails sent properly.

hope this helps.
