I've a (maybe silly) question.

I've extracted Your Plugin and copied it 1:1 in the root as in the readme (so wp_content files are now under wp_content). Ah. They belong to the plugin-folder.
Okay. Now there's an special admin-tab.

But I do not have a wp-phplist.php. How should I reference to it?

And where's the integration? Hm. I can customize php-list itself. But what exactly should Your Plugin do?

I use wp 2.03 and Your freshest Plugin-Beta-Version with the newest php-list.

Hi,

You're right, something seems to be missing. Good thing I labelled this a beta Give me about 10 hours, and I'll see what's gone wrong

Thanks a lot, because this could really become my favorite plugin.

I've installed php-list (2.10.2) in /lists/. Works.

Then I copied Your files up to wordpress (it is in the root). I've overwritten the original files from php-list with Your files.

The folder under wp-content I've putted (sorry if this is not the correct form) into my plugins folder (beacause in the code of Your files there's a hint).
(There You could simulate the normal wp-folder-system an make ist wp-content/plugins/... then it's clear)

Adminpanel in WP shows under manage the php-list.

But where should be the wp-phplist.php?
And how does Your plugin integrate php-list?

Thanks a lot for Your help!

Right. We're onto something now...

You have the PHPList side straight, I think. You've just replaced whatever PHPList files necessary with the ones in the wp-phplist zipfile.

For Wordpress, there are 3 files you need to think about, and there are only 2 of them in the zipfile. (Talk about a beta release!) The first, is in /wp-content/plugins/wp-phplist/wp-phplist-plugin.php - This is what activates the plugin, and the second is in the same directory, called options-wp-phplist.php. This just enables the plugin options under Wordpress admin - which can be left default.

Finally, you need the "glue" which does the work, and which is missing from the zipfile. Put "wp-phplist.php" in the root of your Wordpress folder. This is what actually integrates PHPList into your Wordpress theme.

I've re-uploaded the zipfile - download it, and unpack it as before. You should also now have wp-phplist.php. Make sure you go into the options page at least once, to make sure that your permalinks are created. Then go to http://your-blog-address/lists/, and admire the goodness

If you can at least get this far, then we can start worrying about the pretty stuff

Ok I got the what you said about the php files .. but what do we do with all the other files. Which folders do they go into??

From the zip file:
A. wp-phplist.php goes into wordpress root
B. wp-content folder ... has two folders 1. wpcontent which I assume goes into the wp content folder as is, and 2. .svn folder ... where does this folder go?
C. list folder - I assume this goes in the phplist root, but if not where?
D. .svn folder - is this different than the one above in some way? If it is different, where does this go?

Are there any files within each of these folders that have to be placed in a different directory than the folder itself?

Hope these arent confusing questions .. Im pretty much a newbie.

First of all, ignore all the .svn files - they are there simply because the beta was ripped untimely out of the subversion repository. Yes, the lists directory goes into your Wordpress root. However, you should already have a "lists" directory, because you should have installed PHPList into Wordpress' root.

Make sense?

Yes it makes sense. Two questions:

1. When I installed phplist on my hostserver the installation panel asked me to name a directory path for it, which is at the same level as /wp-content, /wp-admin, etc (the wordpress root). I gave the directory the name "phplist" (/phplist) ... is that going to cause any problems because the phplist directory is not called "list" as you mention (/list), or can I just leave it as is? If it has to be /list then I can remove the installation and reinstall, its not a problem and Id rather do that now then have problems later.

2. the .svn files. I do not have to upload ANY .svn files in all the folders in the zip files? Ignore them all?

Thanks much for the help!

Yes, completely ignore all the .svn stuff. WRT to the phplist installation, I've only tested it with the "lists" directory being a subdirectory of the wordpress installation. Try making a copy of your "phplist" directory, as "wordpress/lists" instead?

[wbog]

Thanks. I will let you know how it goes.

[wbog]

ok. I tried and Im not sure I was successful. I activated the plugin on the dashboard and got the phplist menu showing under the options menu. That is all I have. I dont see anything else. Now, I go to the admin page of phplist and Im not sure because I really didnt spend time with it before, but did your plugin change that?

Also, I overwrote the index.php and admin folder that was in the phplist directory (changed to /lists) with yours (your admin folder contained the processqueue.php, subscribelb2.php and commonlib folder in it). I assumed that was right. If this all sounds wrong let me add that Im using Fantastico on my host server which installed wordpress on my server automatically at the root, which is NOT mydomain.com/wordpress ... but mydomain.com/www. I dont know if that matters at all.

I guess the main question is, should there be more happening on the wordpress Dashboard or is your plugin mainly affecting the phpadmin control panel?

Thanks again for the help.
