Tags inside a URLs

[ekosistema]

I need to pass some variables inside the URL.
For example, to a user named Prince William: http://www.mysite.com/?name=Prince&lastname=William.

To get that result I use the tags [name] and [lastname].

Everything works fine but If MLM is activated it won't replace the TAG by it's content. In the example above I would be redirected to : http://www.mysite.com/?name=[name]&lastname=[lastname].

Is there anything I could do to fix it ?

Is this a problem with the preview or after sending the message?

 

[ekosistema]

In both cases I get the following URL (I've changed the domain names for privacy, but the rest is all the same)

http://www.myweb.com/newsmanager/lm/lm. ... 3Femail%3D[Dirección%20email]

So, I am still unable to send newsletters.
Or at least to use the MLM.

Is there any solution for that ?

What version of MaxBulk Mailer are you using?

 

[ekosistema]

Hello and thanks for your reply,

I am using MaxBulk Mailer 7.9.1-ES for Mac.

I just found a curious solution, but I still would like to understand better the real cause of it.

I realized it works if I put a blank space before the variable value. So, using the same example as before, when I use the tags inside the url like that(with blank spaces) it works :
http://www.mysite.com/?name= [name]&lastname= [lastname].

After that I must use a trim($_GET["variable"]) in my script to have the exact value.

My clue is:
I believe 2 different scripts acts on the URL. One for adding the MLM piece of URL and another to replace the [Tag] by it's real value.
It seem that the script that parses the [Tags] is not recognizing it. Maybe it has something to do with charsets ? I am using iso-8859-1 as default right now. Since I don't have access to MaxBulk Mailer source code I can't figure it out.

Let me know if you have any different solution.

Have you tried with current MaxBulk Mailer v8.3?

 

[ekosistema]

Is there a free update ?

Don't want be rude, but It should be working fine with the version I have.

I am happy with the features in this version and I don't feel like spending more money in a whole new software.

I belive it could be some kind of missuse of mine. Or maybe something fixable. Wouldn't MaxProg realease any fix patches ?

But buying a new one is not a option.

I just ask you to try the demo.

Is that demo can be used once only?

 

[stanbusk]

You can use the demo as many times as you want.
