Hyper Cache 2.2.7: mobile user agent detection fixed

May 29th, 2009

A nice Hyper Cache user showed me that Hyper Cache had a bug when managin the mobile user agents list. Please, upgrade to version 2.2.7 AND go to the admin panel. DELETE the mobile user agents list, SAVE. The list will be regenerated. RESAVE the options.

You’re are done.

Otherwise opera mini and windows ce user agents won’t be detected.

Sorry for this bug, it created me a lot of problem on www.dopopranzo.net just the day I had 30.000 page view (this is the proof Hyper Cache works… the hosting plan of www.dopopranzo.net costs me 12 euro per year… yes you read well, 12 euro per year).

PLEASE: give a look to Protector, and let me know what do you think about it.

Newsletter: the subscription process with double opt in

May 24th, 2009

THINGS ARE MOVING: JUMP TO THIS PAGE FOR UPDATED CONTENT.

We can discuss subscription process for days. I choosed for a double opt in process, just because in Italy seems the privacy rules (and laws) require it. I really don’t know if it’s true and if we need to make our life complicated to protect dumb people who press “subscribe” without reading disclaimer, rules and notes.

So the subscription process can be broken up in the steps below:

  1. a user lands on the newsletter page: this is the subscription step where the users are asked for name and email
  2. he types in his data and press “subscribe”: this is the first opt in
  3. a message is shown in the page saying the data was stored and an email sent to confirm the subscription
  4. the user checks his mailbox and finds a confirmation email with a link to be followed to activate the subscription
  5. the user press that link and a “subscription confirmed” message is shown

Text shown in steps 1, 3, 5 are fully customizable within the newsletter configuration panel.

Newsletter first setup: the newsletter page and its permalink

May 24th, 2009

THINGS ARE MOVING: JUMP TO THIS PAGE FOR UPDATED CONTENT.

Waiting to collect enough to write a decent official page for my newsletter plugin, some words are needed to explain it’s setup. After installing and activating the plugin (as we do with any other plugin) we firstly need to create a newsletter page.

So follow the steps below:

  • open the Pages menu (on the left of your WP admin area) and press “add new”
  • give a title to the new page, something like “newsletter subscription”
  • put in the page content the tag [ newsletter ] (with NO spaces between the square brackets and the word “newsletter”)
  • publish the page

The page will get a permalink: we need it to configure the newsletter plugin. May be in the future I can “automate” this step. The permalink can be something like http://www.satollo.com/english/newsletter. You can open your new page and copy the address from your browser. I hope this step is not complicate for people which would use and send newsletters…
