        hey i am having this error when i tried to activate mad mimi

        Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

        can you help me on this? there is no line specififed to what error it was

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Should be fixed with Version 1.1. Try upgrading the Mad Mimi plugin and let me know!

  • http://www.freelancewriterproductivity.com/ John Soares

    Zack, thanks for creating Mad Mimi.
    I’m in the process of putting several websites up on WordPress, and this will help me when I start building e-mail lists.

  • http://www.katygray.com/blog katy

    I have installed this 3-4 times now and every time it says it can’t activate it because it triggers a fatal error.  I’m running the newest version of WordPress.  Any ideas?

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Hi Katy, do you have any lists configured in Mad Mimi?

  • http://www.katygray.com/blog katy

    Hi Zack!
    Yes, one small one.

    • http://www.katygray.com/blog katy

      But I don’t even get to the point where I can put in my Mad Mimi user info – WordPress doesn’t let me activate the plugin.

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Version 1.1 of the plugin (released yesterday) should fix the implode() issue. Let me know if it doesn’t.

  • http://www.moneyworks4me.com Madhu

    I was using version 1.10 and the following error occured
    Stock Shastra: the Art & Science of Stock InvestingActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Name can’t be blan.  I had activated only the Name and Email field for subscription.
    Later i upgraded to version 1.12 only to find that the widget does not appear in the Available Widgets or Inactive Widgets.  Any solution.
    I am using wordpress 2.9.2

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Try deleting and re-installing 1.2 – there were a few minutes there where the wrong file was uploaded in the package.  Let me know if that works.

  • http://www.richardkingphoto.com Richard

    I have added your plug-in to my WordPress site, created my mad-mini account but cannot fathom how to select/edit a form and how to activate it on my blog.
    If i click on “Configuring your forms” it just takes me to the widget page – but there is nothing new on it for the forms!
    Richard

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      There should be a Mad Mimi widget that you can drag and drop to your sidebar…

  • Steven

    Great plugin, but there is no widget when clicking  the “Configuring your forms” link. I did try to use the shortcode in the sidebar “sometimes works” but was not able to get it working.
    This is for WP 2.9.2

  • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

    @Steven and @Richard - My apologies for the problems with the plugin; they should be fixed now with Version 1.2.1. It was caused by having renamed a plugin file.

    It’s fixed and working beautifully now :-)

  • http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/leogermani Leo Germani

    Hi there,
    Does this plugin have the option to add a new user to madmimi list whenever a new user register to the blog (register as a wordpress user)? If not, is it in your plans? If not, would you be open to add this to the plugin if I develop?
    cheers
    Leo,,

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Hi Christina, 
      I have updated the plugin. If you update and are still receiving this error, it’s likely because your server doesn’t have curl enabled. Check out my reply to Gert below for info.

  • Gert

    I installed the plug-in, but when I activate it and go to settings, I get this error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\mad-mimi\mad-mimi.php on line 278
    As you can see I’m testing it locally on my machine, so I’m not sure if this causes the error.

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      This is likely because your local server doesn’t have curl enabled. I have added a check to the plugin to make sure that curl_init is available; the plugin won’t work without it.

      Most web hosts do have it enabled by default.

  • http://dp.lomin.com/ Jason A. Minto

    Has anyone had success modifying the mad mimi plugin for wpmu 2.9.2?
    Default installation initial setting of parameters (i.e. Username & API Key) fails.  The HTML code in mad-mimi.php directs the form to options.php.  That file does not exist.
    Telling it to use options-general.php and options-general.php?pag=mad-mimi doesn’t work either.
    Does any one else have thoughts on how to get it working?

    • http://dp.lomin.com/ Jason A. Minto

      …nevermind.  Post http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Plugin_Compatibility revealed the following changes to mad-mimi.php:
      80c80,81
      <                                       <?php wp_nonce_field(‘update-options’); ?>
      —
      >                                       <?php settings_fields(‘mad_mimi_page’); ?>
      >                                       <?php // wp_nonce_field(‘update-options’); ?>
      359a361,368
      > function mad_mimi_whitelist($options)
      >       $added = array(‘mad_mimi_page’ => array( ‘mad_mimi_username’,
      >                                               ‘mad_mimi_api’)
      >               );
      >       $options = add_option_whitelist( $added, $options );
      >       return $options;
      >
      > add_filter(‘whitelist_options’, ‘mad_mimi_whitelist’);
      …allegedly these should be compatible with the latest version of wordpress too.

  • Turgs

    Hi Zack

    Instead of using a Subscribe form, I want visitors to become registered “members” of my site. I then want these users to be added to a “website members” email list in Mad Mimi.

    Is this possible with your plugin?

    Cheers
    Turgs

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Turgs: It’s planned in a future release to have a checkbox added to the WP Register form, as well as the comment form. Until that release, it’ll have to be custom-coded, but possible.

      • http://www.instanticity.com Stephanie

        Any idea when this feature will be implemented? I’d be happy to attempt custom coding it, but I consider myself only a medium php user and haven’t any idea where to start.

  • http://www.journeyinpro.com Paula Kawal

    Hi Zack,
    I just got email from Mad Mimi about this plugin and downloaded it to try it out.  When it tries to activate I get this message.
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    I’m running WordPress 2.9.2.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks,
     
    Paula Kawal

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Paula Kawal: The plugin requires your server has PHP 5. Please contact your hosting provider and see if you are running PHP 5.

      If that doesn’t work, it could be a plugin conflict. If that’s the case, please let me know what plugins you are running.

  • http://www.journeyinpro.com Paula Kawal

    Hi Zack,
    I have php version 4.4.9 through my hosting provider.  So what can I do?
    Thanks,
    Paula

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Paula Kawal: Ask your hosting provider to upgrade your account to PHP 5. Generally, hosts are able to do that easily and at no charge. Otherwise, I’d recommend switching hosts, because if they don’t offer PHP 5, imagine what else you’re not getting!

  • http://www.journeyinpro.com Paula Kawal

    Hi Zack,
    I found a button that let me upgrade it myself from the c panel of my account =)
    All better now!
    Thanks,
    Paula

  • http://celestri.org Manish

    Thanks, excellent plugin.  Is there a way today, to allow a file to get downloaded when a user hits “submit”
    We offer a 30 day trial of our software and would like to kickstart the auto downloaded if possible.

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Manish: You can add this to check to your functions.php file to check whether the form has been submitted:

      function check_madmimi_submit() { 
	if(isset($_POST['signup']['email'])) { 
		// The form has been submitted
		if(isset($_POST['signuperror'])) { 
			// There is an error with the form
			return false;
		}
		// No error, so we're good.
		// You can do the download call here.
		return true;
	}
}
// The madmimi_process_submissions() is set to run first,
// so we'll run this second to make sure the $_POST has a chance to
// be set.
add_action('init', 'check_madmimi_submit',2);

      Then you’d have to initiate the download where the code says do the download call here.

      I may add an action upon successful submission in a future version. Thanks for asking!

      • http://celestri.org Manish

        Zack,

        thanks so much. I was able to figure out a solution.  I entered in a complete URL for the optional subscription page.

        Then on that page I added the following:

        <META HTTP-EQUIV=”Refresh” CONTENT=”1;URL=http://full_name_of_progam.exe”>

        and it works like a charm.  Great plugin.

  • http://celestri.org manish jain

    Zack,
    How can I stylize the form? I want to have name and email on the same line? I’m assuming I edit mad-mimi.php?

  • Robert

    Hi,
     
    Is there a way to translate the plugin and after that  still be able to update?
     
    Robert
     

  • http://www.yourvirtualwizard.com Janine Gregor

    Zach,
    I added the plugin and configured the form.  http://www.yourvirtualwizardblog.com you will see in the right sidebar two boxes. One for Constant Constant Contact (top) which looks nice and clean and the one below is for MadMimi which is not so great.
    I would like to add the text you see in the CC box to the MM box and I’d like to center the blank lines. Right now everything is very left justified.
    I would like to change the color of the box…if that is possible as well.
    Thank you!
    Janine Gregor
    Virtual Assistant

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Janine Gregor: You will need to achieve this using CSS; the form on your site has an id of #mad_mimi_form3, so you can center text by using #mad_mimi_form3 { text-align:center;}, for example. Further styling options are coming in a future version.

  • Alex G

    Hiya Zack,
    I just installed the plugin (v 1.3) on WordPres 2.9.2. Unfortunately I’m getting the following error:  “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
    Any ideas how to fix this? :(

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Alex G: Does it say what line the error occurs on? Please check your server’s error logs if it doesn’t.

  • Travis

    Hey Guys,

    I’m having a plugin issue. So I downloaded it, activated it, dragged it into the sidebar of my site. (FYI I have a custom theme purchased from Themeforest)

    And the field boxes don’t show. For example, I have Name, Email, and City, however there’s no field box where people can type that in. Any ideas what may be going on?

    I’m in WP3, PHP5, everything most up-to-date.

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Have you tried it with another theme? If it works, it’s likely because the CSS of the theme you’re using is hiding those elements.

  • travis

    I’m getting the fatal error issue as well, any fix for this?

  • http://www.templatelife.com/ TEMPLATELIFE

    Nice and good design. It gets right to the point. The structure is impressive. Good work!

  • http://www.kevincarrelfooter.com Kevin

    Zack,
    After installing the plugin my website became so slow people were writing to complain that they could not access it. I went one by one deactivating plugins and this one was the culprit. Don’t know why and I would love for it to work for me… but it doesn’t. Let me know if there’s a solution to this.
    Thanks!

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      This is strange; there’s no reason why it should slow down the site at all.

      Could you re-activate it and let me know when you do so I can see what might be going on?

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      Hi Kevin,
      Thanks to your feedback, I was able to identify the issue.

      I am releasing version 1.3.1 right now, and it should be available in under an hour on WordPress.org or through your site’s plugins page.

      Thanks!

  • http://celestri.org manish jain

    Hey Zack,

    I’m finally getting around to installing this awesome plug-in. Any idea why the elements for the plugin are so scattered on this page:

    http://www.mprofit.in/test-for-download-page/

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      It’s all because of your stylesheet. An example : #maincol-inside .content form label span makes the required asterisk (*) 180px wide. Other things like display:block and margins make the whole thing fall apart :-)

  • LC

    Look a great plugin! Im wondering, i see throughout the comments and in the description that the ability to style is coming soon. Are you referring to styling through the admin panel? I mean, i could make it look however i choose by using CSS, right? Thanks for any info.

  • http://unlockyourgrowthpotential.be Nolan

    I would love to use this as I love the AJAX message but I need to add a custom drop down option. I need the option for Name, Last Name and then my custom field….

    Madmimi created the form for me, but I would love it to use your setup.

    I like how yours adds the contact right away with the opt in.

    Anything possible to make this work with your plugin?

  • http://www.thezenguy.com michael

    So i embedded the madmimi widget into my wordpress site but when i try to test signing up on the madmimi form on http://www.thezenguy.com, it appears to go thru to madmimi but the info doesn’t come over to my ‘audience’ and my website returns the message ‘unable to authenticate’ ??

    Hey Zack,

    Zack,
    I just read through the comments on this post and didn’t find an answer to my issue.

    Specs:

    WP 3.0 hosted by Go Daddy (PHP5)
    MM Plugin 1.4.1
    Newly created MM acct w/ a audience list configured in WP and widget installed in my side bar.

    I sent 2 test subscriptions and received no fatal errors but never had the subscriptions show up on the Mad Mimi site on my list.

    Hey Zach,

    Would love to download this plugin, but I’m wondering about security. Is there any coding available to add CAPTCHA to the plugin?

    • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

      Nope, not yet. I’m planning on integration with the great Gravity Forms plugin, though. That would offer good spam capturing.

  • Boris

    I was hoping to get my WP registered users to transfer to MM. It looks like it will only work with NEW members being added after your plugin was installed. Correct? If so, do you have any plans of upgrading the plugin so I can PUSH existing users to my Mimi list? Thanks

    • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

      No plans for an import right now…you can export your users then import them into MadMimi, though. Have you tried that?

  • jtorres_mora

    Hi, great file. One question I put all your options and work perfect when I use the contact form (great). Automatic add the mail and extra data as name to my MAD MIMI account. The option that not work is when I try to “Sync Users”. I try add a new wordpress suscriber and obviusly I select my list. But MAD MIMI not add the wordpress suscriber. What I can do it? thanks…

      What’s the fatal error? Normally it says what the error is…

      • Mark Carter

        The error is being caused (at least in my case) by a short open tag <? on line 147 of the mad-mimi.php file. I do not have short open tags allowed in my PHP server setup. According to the WordPress coding standards all opening PHP tags should be <?php and thus would not have caused this problem.

    Hi, I installed this and set it up without problem but notice that the “Submit” button is directly under the E-mail text box with no space between them so it needs to have a line separating it so it looks more appealing. (I’m only using 2 text fields, the name and e-mail). I see this on several browses so I know that’s not the problem. Can you shed some light on it by chance? The version I’m using is Version 1.4.5 | By Katz Web Services, Inc.
