We are using the INVITE plug to resend a confirmation email to unconfirmed subscribers.
In our testing, when we insert the [CONFIRMATIONURL] marker into our emails, it is correctly putting the link to confirm.
However, the link is in plain text and not hyperlinked, meaning anyone getting the HTML version of emails will have to manually copy and paste the link into their browser in order to confirm the subscription.
What needs to be done in order to make the link clickable so that HTML users don’t have to manually copy/paste it into their browser?
Invite Plugin version: 0.4
PHPList version: - v3.6.14
@Jeff_Mash It appears that you need to create a link manually using the [CONFIRMATIONURL] placeholder for the href attribute. There should be an existing campaign with the subject “Do you want to continue receiving our messages?” which uses the Invite plugin. Look at that to see exactly what to do.
Interesting. Well, when I enter [CONFIRMATIONURL] as the href attribute (from within PHPList), the output link in my test email looks like this:
**http://https//**www.mydomain.com/lists/?p=confirm&uid=eecd7635743ba2714f33c4b735e4b69c
Notice the additional https// added in there.
Any idea why it would be doing that?
@Jeff_Mash You need to use “other” for the protocol when creating the link, see this use for another placeholder

Thank you so much! I don’t think I would have ever figured that one out! That worked perfectly!
