Using the date plugin in a hyperlink problem

#1

Hi all:

Using the date plugin as follows:

Click Here for [TODAY:m/d/Y].

The first plugin fails (in the CLICK HERE link). The second one works. I am assuming that the first one is still in the quotes and causing the problem. Any way around this?

Nobody knows this one?

@square1 This might be caused by a bug in the plugin that stops more than one placeholder being used. If you remove the second placeholder then can you confirm that the URL contains the date correctly?

I have just submitted a fix for that problem to the plugin developer, see https://github.com/michield/phplist-plugin-dateplaceholder/pull/2

Also, how are you creating the campaign? It is possible that the [ and ] characters are being encoded as %5B and %5D. Can you view the source of your email to see whether that is the case?

With a single placeholder, yes, all is fine. I will look out for the update. Thank you!

The code is NOT appearing as %5B etc.

@square1 You should be able to update the plugin using my branch of the plugin. Just copy this into the package URL field on the Manage Plugins page

https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-dateplaceholder/archive/multiple_placeholders.zip

You can then update again once a new version is released.
