phpBB to ListMail Pro integration on Prepress Forum
« on: August 20, 2007, 07:40:38 pm »
I have several phpBB communities.  DW and I have been working on an integration for phpBB communities like this one and this weeekend got it working pretty nicely.  Although it is most likely to go through a few improvements anf further testing, I went through a live test on my prepress forum last night and it worked very well.

If you need more powerful mail services for your phpBB community, or if you have mailing lists that you would like to move towards a forum community, this is a great new integration.

This is available to any licensed user of ListMail Pro and as soon as it's really dialed in, DW will probably be posting it up soon.  Since DW and I put up the blood and treasure to deliver it, a backlink would be a nice gesture for anybody who uses it.  Don't forget, we deserve a little webmaster Karma ;)

Generally the integration script will do:

1. Loop all inactive (removed, unconfirmed and bounced users) ListMail users on selected list, removing them from phpBB (optional) and deleting them from the ListMail database.  I can create a notification and 'restore user' link to re-add them to phpBB if this ever happens by accident.  This would mean you receive two notifications, one from ListMail and one from the custom phpBB script, which you would need to match up manually based on send time.

2. Loop all users in phpBB, adding them to ListMail on the selected list if
they aren't there already. Should the forum username become the ListMail users' "First Name"?  Do you want a welcome message sent to the users? (I am assuming not.)

I will add more detail on features as we improve this and finish it

I can use it to sync my mail list to my phpBB community, the phpBB is my user table, the integration syncs up my mailing list.  So, I can use powerful mailing list management (ListMail Pro) WITH my phpBB community.

TO MOST COMMUNITIES:
Even if you do not want to mail your members much, there is full bounce handling and the integration can help manage identity and purge of all bogus users accounts whose mail is dead or bogus.

phpBB webmasters have a problem with bogus emails used to sign-up and dead accounts who have non-working emails.  This integration can enable you to use ListMail Pro to mail and verify all user emails, if they bounce, it will facilitate an user deletion process.  Then, it even has an un-do if you delete a user that you want to restore, BAM, re-establishes that user into phpBB again with a click.

Thanks to DW, it's a valuable new tool for all phpBB webmasters and ListMail Pro licensees.

I'm testing this on my Corvette Forums next and will try to firm up this info and make sure this is all ready for whoever needs it.

How do I get - phpbb list mail integration script
« Reply #1 on: February 16, 2008, 10:08:08 pm »
Where can I get this phpbb-listmail integration script?  I cannot locate it on the Prepress Forum.

Also, does it work with phpbb3

Thanks
