Upgrade guide
1.1.15:
- Add List Groups
- create_lists_tables.php
- migrate_lists.php
Upgrading To 1.0.15
This is an important update that contains breaking changes.
Mailing lists are no longer stored in Mailgun Settings.
You must open up the Mailing list Controller and update the lists either from Settings, from Mailigun Server, or both in that order. There are buttons at the top of the controller to do this and the buttons can be disabled in settings.
Many major changes have been made to make it easier for you to maintain your mailing lists. This is especially true if you use the KurtJensen.Profile plugin because this update contains a "Mailgun Profile Panel" that allows users to control their subscriptions from the front end. It also monitors the user model for a change of email address and automatically updates the mailing list subscription to the new address.
Mailing lists should be assigned to user groups to automatically show users the mailing lists that are available to them based on the user groups they are members of.
Upgrading To 1.0.7
The Mailgun plugin now has an admin interface in the backend that allows you to do most mailgun tasks directly from October CMS.
To take advantage of this new functionality you will need to add your list names into the mailgun plugin settings. Settings->Mailgun->List Names
All subscribes from October are tagged by who added the user to the list. If it was the user who did it through the front end then the "HOW SUBSCRIBED" column will say "SELF" otherwise it will say "Admin(Admin Name)" if done from backend or "unkown" if done at the mailgun site (or before this version).
There is a tab in Users->Edit User called Mailgun that has a link to the new Mailgun controller which will allow you to admininster that individual user.
Please pay special attention to backend user and group permissions. You can fine tune which tasks admin users can do using (5) different permission settings.
What's Next
The next version will focus on a frontend form for sending mail to the mailgun list.
Upgrading To 1.1.0
After finding that many mail servers marked messages as SPAM when the server sent mail coming from other address with domains different from the mailing list, I decided to change the way mail is sent to the list from the Backend. This plugin now uses an administrator mail address like (postmaster@yourdomain.com) to send messages.
You will need to add administrator mail address into the settings.
You will also want to "ADD" and then "UNSUBSCRIBE" the administrator mail address to each of your lists so that Mailgun does not reject messages due to "Not A Member of Member Only List."
Mailgun lists do not respect the reply-to header. A short bit of text with a mailto:<reply@replyDomain.com> link is now added with reply instructions when a message is sent from Backend with a repl-to address.
Ther were many changes made for this version upgrade. Please report any issues and I will address them ASAP.
Thank you Kurt Jensen
