Perfect, thanks!

[dioni2a]

Yes Amin, W3 Total Cache. Sorry for the long delay in response; is there any way to configure this forum to send me an email when a thread is updated?

[dioni2a]

Worked perfectly Amin, thanks so much!

[dioni2a]

Okay Amin! I finally found a plugin that works for all my needs: Easy FancyBox. I can now launch iframe lightboxes by adding class="fancybox-iframe"

How do I now integrate that into the fancy Add to Cart button 1 code?

[dioni2a]

I’ve dabbled very slightly in javascript; I’m a bit more comfortable in jQuery. But perhaps I’m hitting this from the wrong angle Amin. Let me try to give you the user experience I’m going for, and perhaps you could suggest the right approach with WP eStore.

As the fancy button 1 uses the hyperlink title, I thought it would be great for the user to see this list of products at a glance. Then if they want to know more about a particular product, they can click the title to launch a full-on sales page that might include copy, graphics, even video. Then after they’re all excited and ready to buy, I want to make it as simple as possible for them to add the product to the shopping cart while still maintaining the ability to add other items.

Perhaps we should think about going back in the opposite direction to what you mentioned initially? Have the list of products on page 1, then if they want to know more about a product, they click the link and the sales page opens in a lightbox, with NO Add to Cart button on the lightbox page, but just a return to the main listing button that closes the lightbox.

How would I set up your fancy button 1 title to open the link in a lightbox? And do you have a recommended wp lightbox plugin for that?

Thanks for your insight and time here Amin, I really appreciate it.

[dioni2a]

And also, will it cause the original product list page to update and show the cart?

[dioni2a]

Thanks for this part Amin,

But will this also cause the newly opened sales page to CLOSE after the Add to Cart button is clicked? Because it doesn’t currently close automatically if I click the button after manually opening the sales page in a new window.

Hey Amin,

Although the idea of a lightbox or overlay is not out of the question, I was actually thinking a completely new browser window/tab.

[dioni2a]

Thanks Amin.

Hi Amin,

The checkbox has been checked through this entire process, with listname “find-your-way@aweber.com”. You can see a screen-cap here:

http://screencast.com/t/FAu5iCNWe

Previous to this process I also tried “find-your-way@profollow.com” and that didn’t seem to do anything either. But wouldn’t this be over-ridden by the hard-coding customization using my email address in wp_includes4.php?

Next step?

[dioni2a]

I’ve also done a couple screen-capture pics of my profollow custom email parser configuration. One thing I’ve noticed is that, even though I check the box for enable parser for all lists, every time I open up the parser using the “edit parser” link, it shows the checkbox as clear.

Here’s the view of the parser detail:

Here’s the parser as it shows in the list:

As a reminder and per my previous post, the notification email is apparently never even REACHING the parser as it seems to never leave the site — at least I haven’t gotten anything from it yet after a couple attempts — so I have yet to test that the notification message is in the right format to test it in the parser tester.

Looking forward to your assistance on this!

Okay,

Did a little research. Determined that the value had to be enclosed in quotes.

Then I tested.

I cleared my customer databases so I could use my email addresses again.

Tried changing $list_name to an email address enclosed in single quotes, and then again in double quotes. Tried it with two different email addresses.

Each time, I get the opt-in download link message, but NO AUTORESPONDER NOTIFICATION MESSAGE.

Here is the simple test page I’m using:

http://findyourwayontheinternet.com/quick-opt-in/

Here is the code from wp_includes4.php:

<?php

function eStore_send_aweber_mail($list_name,$from_address,$cust_name,$cust_email)

{

$subject = "Aweber Automatic Sign up email";

$body    = "nnThis is an automatic email that is sent to AWeber for member signup purposen".

"nEmail: ".$cust_email.

"nName: ".$cust_name;



$headers = 'From: '.$from_address . "rn";

wp_mail('dioni2a@iglide.net', $subject, $body, $headers);

}



function eStore_send_notification_email($to_address, $subject, $body, $from_address, $attachment='')

{

if (get_option('eStore_use_wp_mail'))

{

$headers = 'From: '.$from_address . "rn";

wp_mail($to_address, $subject, $body, $headers);

return true;

}

else

{

if(@eStore_send_mail($to_address,$body,$subject,$from_address,$attachment))

{

return true;

}

else

{

return false;

}

}

}

?>

Can you see what I’m missing? I almost thought that I didn’t have wp_mail enabled or configured correctly somehow, but I AM getting the customer message. It’s just apparently not even SENDING the autoresponder notification message.

Help?!

[dioni2a]

Hi Amin,

Thanks for the prompt response. In response to your numbered list:

1. When you say change the $list_name variable value to my email address, do you mean to actually delete the string $list_name and replace it with, for example, myemailaddress@gmail.com? If so, do I need to enclose it in quotes? To be more explicit:

wp_mail($list_name, $subject, $body, $headers);

becomes which of the following:

a. wp_mail(myemailaddress@gmail.com, $subject, $body, $headers);

b. wp_mail(“myemailaddress@gmail.com”, $subject, $body, $headers);

2. I may not have been clear in my post above, but Profollow **IS** Aweber. Literally. Not a duplicate autoresponder, but the SAME one. It’s just that Aweber allows folks to sell Aweber’s services under their own unique name, or “white label.” So when I go to set up a new mailing list inside Profollow, it’s checking for a unique list name through the entire Aweber database, including all the white label services. One Aweber databases serves all the white label companies.

So when I followed your directions to set up a custom email parser in Profollow, it was exactly what you you showed in your pictures of Aweber, because it IS Aweber. Is that clearer?

YES, I did enable the parser for all lists. I haven’t been able to test it properly because I didn’t have an actual email that would be sent. When you provide me the answer to question #1 above, I’ll be able to do that, and will probably be able to get the rest done.

As I mentioned in my initial post above, according to Aweber, the listname goes to listname@profollow.com instead of listname@aweber.com. So, can I go in and change the copy of the subject line and body of the email in eStore_includes4.php to say “Profollow” instead of “Aweber”? Is there anywhere else I would need to make changes in the WP eStore code to make sure it’s sending the email to listname@profollow.com, or can that be done simply by entering that email address in the Aweber autoresponder settings?

Thanks again for all your help.

[dioni2a]

Awesome! Thanks Amin.

[dioni2a]

Hey Neil,

Would you detail your solution, or include a link to the page where you’ve got this set up? I will be doing something like this in the near future, so I’d appreciate being able to see how you put it together.

Warmly,

Dion
