Help Notes for Newsletter Manager Pro

Attention: Do not change the name of the folder forms because this is where subscribe and un-subscribe requests are sent. If you want to change it then you must also change it in lines 107, 167, 211, 213 in the file inc/stringFunctions.asp. Line numbers may vary by 1-2 lines.

File to collect info	File that processes the info	Details
1.optInForm1.asp	optIn.asp	Basic subscriber info is captured
2.optInForm2.asp	optIn.asp	Full subscriber info is captured
3.optInForm3.asp	optIn.asp	Email and name are captured
4.optInForm4.asp	optIn.asp	Email is captured

The above 1,2,3,4 forms are dynamic. Meaning that when you add a new public list it is reflected in the forms. But with the custom form creator you make a static html form. This is much easier and such a form can be placed in any web site. The static form is again processed by optIn.asp. You may also copy and place this page in the includes folder. This is an easier approach if you want to place a custom static form anywhere in your site or in a remote site and you do not want to use the forms folder at all.

Depending on whether you activated the double confirmation system, different confirmation and welcome emails are sent to subscribers. You can edit these messages in the Tools section.

File to collect info	File that processes the info	Details
optOutForm.asp	optOutExec.asp	Global opt-out. Removes the subscriber from all mailing lists and the subscribers table.
..an unsubscribe link	optOut.asp	In general the page optOut.asp processes the unsubscribe requests according to the unsubscribe link you used to send the subscriber here. This is a new feature of v.6.50.

Since v.6.50 you can have multiple unsubscribe links in a newsletter. You can use all 3 types of different unsubscribe actions in the same newsletter. For example, one link may says click here to remove yourself from the list or click here to update your settings or click here to completely remove your email from our system.

Allow subscribers to enter a reason why they are un-subscribing ^SPECIAL!
In the forms folder you will notice a file named optOut-Reason.asp. If you use this file as the file that processes the opt-out requests then the subscriber will be prompted to enter a reason when un-subscribing from a list or permanently. In the first casethis reason is stored in the database. In both cases you receive an email with this reason (if the admin email alerts are enabled in the configuration). To use the opt-out with a reason file simply rename the default optOut.asp file to something else (example: optOut-2.asp) and then rename the optOut-Reason.asp to optOut.asp. Similarly you can change names between the files optOutExec.asp and optOutExec-reason.asp.

The following allow for a more personalized subscription management.
