in tiny_mce/plugins/imagemanager/classes/FileSystems/LocalFileImpl.php

look for

function &listFilesFiltered(&$filter) {

then, right after this line:

sort($fileArray);

add this:

$sortedFiles = array();
foreach($fileArray as $file) {
     $key = filemtime($dir . "/" . $file);
     while(isset($sortedFiles[$key])) $key++;
     $sortedFiles[$key] = $file;
}
ksort($sortedFiles);
$fileArray = array_reverse(array_values($sortedFiles));

I know it’s not the most elegant solution, but it works! Or did I miss something? Is there any easier way to do this?

Read Adobe’s statement here

• “People HATE email-gathering splash screens, which are now standard-issue on most campaign sites. In fact, some users (older ones in particular) found them so confusing that they tried to leave the sites entirely.”
• “Strikingly, once users got past the splash screens, the sites frequently did a terrible job of collecting email addresses on internal pages (I’m lookin’ at you, Mitt). C’mon kids — nonprofits have known to put a clear email signup form or button on every page for years.”
• “Testers often noticed Obama2008-style imagery and features and pointed them out. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but there’s a difference between covering a song and committing plagiarism. Turns out, people can spot it.”

There’s much more in their article and full report. Check it out:

What am I missing here?

Here’s the landing page I prepared for people coming to our website from theirs.

A good read!

I’m using NuSoap here since that seems to be the easiest.

Client Code:

<?php

require_once('nusoap/nusoap.php');

class NgpEmailSignupClient {

 public $credentialString;
 public $mainCode;
 public $campaignID;

 function NgpEmailSignupClient($credentialString, $mainCode, $campaignID) {
 $this->debug = false;
 $this->credentialString = $credentialString;
 $this->mainCode = $mainCode;
 $this->campaignID = $campaignID;
 }

 function addEmail($email, $zip, $firstName = '', $lastName = '') {

 if (!$zip) $errs[] = "Zip code is required.";
 if (!$email) $errs[] = "Email is required.";
 if ( count($errs) ) {
 echo '<h1>Error</h1><ul>';
 foreach ($errs as $err) {
 echo '<li>'.$err.'</li>';
 }
 echo '</ul>';
 exit;
 }
 // Create the XML string containing all our data
 // http://www.myngp.com/ngpapi/transactions/Email/ContactWithEmailSet.xsd
 $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
 $xml .= "<contactWithEmailSet>";
 $xml .= "<contact>";
 $xml .= ( isset( $lastName ) && !empty( $lastName ) ) ? "<lastName>{$lastName}</lastName>" : '<lastName />';
 $xml .= ( isset( $firstName ) && !empty( $firstName ) ) ? "<firstName>{$firstName}</firstName>" : '<firstName />';
 $xml .= ( isset( $zip ) && !empty( $zip ) ) ? "<zip>{$zip}</zip>" : '<zip />';
 $xml .= ( isset( $email ) && !empty( $email ) ) ? "<email>{$email}</email>" : '<email />';
 $xml .= "</contact>";
 $xml .= "<mainCode>{$this->mainCode}</mainCode>";
 $xml .= "<optIn>1</optIn>";
 $xml .= "<campaignID>{$this->campaignID}</campaignID>";
 $xml .= "</contactWithEmailSet>";

 $client = new nusoap_client('http://www.myngp.com/ngpapi/APIService.asmx?wsdl', true) or
     die("Error instantiating SOAP client");

 // Do the call
 $params = array(
 'RequestXML' => $xml,
 'transType' => 'contactWithEmailSet',
 'credentialString' => $this->credentialString
 );
 $result = $client->call('processRequestWithCreds', $params);

 if ($client->fault) {
 //print_r($client->return);
 //echo $xml . "\n\n";
 return $err;
 exit;
 } else {
 // Check for errors
 $err = $client->getError();
 if ($err) {
 //print_r($client->return);
 //echo $xml . "\n\n";
 //echo $err;
 return $err;
 exit;
 } else {
 return true;
 exit;
 }
 }
 }
}

Demonstration Usage

<?php
include_once('NgpEmailSignupClient.php');
// Each of these three values needs to be customized for your specific application.
$credentialString = "6PPfar0e/MFaVhEiY4s3BVA5KvCkie5i8JKHGKJhfasdhgj675We";
$mainCode = "WebEMAIL";
$campaignID = 8236;
// These values will presumably come from script or form input
// They should be validated before reaching this point
$email = 'sample@email.com';
$zip = '12345';
$ngpClient = new NgpEmailSignupClient($credentialString, $mainCode, $campaignID);
if (true === $ngpClient->addEmail($email, $zip)) {
 echo "Success!";
} else {
 echo "Failure!";
}

?>

“WordPress no longer looks like a blog. For small businesses who wouldn’t know a blog from a bag of potato chips, WordPress is a website, otherwise known as a content management system. It gives them control. Period.”
