Thanks Shannon. That was the answer I was hoping for. Phil

What is the maximum number of contact lists that can be created in a single account? Contact lists will be created through the API if this makes any difference to the answer. Thanks, Phil

Thanks. I'll code it that way for now, since it shouldn't break (I hope) when the defect is resolved. Phil

I'm using the event registrant list API to get the list of registrants for an event. I have 8 registrants shown in the Constant Contact UI. The API returns two pages of registrants. The second page appears to be a duplicate of the first. When I get the data for the first page, the header of the atom data is: <atom:id>tag:api.constantcontact.com,2010:/ws/customers/0017score/events/a07e4el6neb7e8c0e4b/registrants</atom:id>
<atom:link rel="current" href="/ws/customers/0017score/events/a07e4el6neb7e8c0e4b/registrants"/>
<atom:link rel="first" href="/ws/customers/0017score/events/a07e4el6neb7e8c0e4b/registrants"/>
<atom:link rel="next" href="/ws/customers/0017score/events/a07e4el6neb7e8c0e4b/registrants?pageNumber=1"/> It clearly shows there is a "next" page to retrieve. So I dutifully retrieve the next page with the ?pageNumber=1 URI. The header for that second page comes back as: <atom:title>Registrants</atom:title>
<atom:updated>2011-07-29T14:50:33.015-04:00</atom:updated>
<atom:id>tag:api.constantcontact.com,2010:/ws/customers/0017score/events/a07e4el6neb7e8c0e4b/registrants</atom:id> It seems to me that if there is a link with a rel="next" attribute I should follow it (that's how other APIs work). Am I instead supposed to know that: a) the pageNumber=1 link is actually a duplicate if there is only a single page (what do I do to know when there is a pageNumber=2 inside page 1?) b) call pageNumber=1 initially, rather than with no parameters c) ignore the result of any page where I have already seen the atom:id ? I feel like this worked fine for the event list, and seems to be working differently for the registrant list. Any suggestions? Phil

I don't know if you fixed this yet. I found that I had a problem when I changed the permissions on the setup directory itself, even though the files were visible. Also, I remember I had to change the ownership of the files. For mine, everything is owned by the www-data owner / www-data group, which is the owner / group that the web server runs as. I had to run chown --recursive www-data:www-data * to get it to work originally. Your web user may be different, so you should check.

Just for testing, can you make sure that all files and directories under the CCSFG folder are have read, write, execute permissions? Each php page references other php files, which may not be readable with the default permissions. Please post the end of your webserver log file when you next try, just in case it shows anything useful. Phil

I had a lot of trouble setting this up the first time on an Ubuntu server running Apache and PHP. If you have the same problem as me, it is all about getting the permissions right. Pre-creating the log file helps you, because you can set a specific (write) permission on it without exposing everything else in the application. These are the files I had to treat as special cases: signup/index.php setup/functions.php setup/build_functions.php cc_class.php config.php Basically, since I have tight control in the process of creation, I make everything readable and writable to my www-data user and group during setup, then I lock down all the files that aren't included above after setup, and finally make just the files above readable and executable afterwards. Depending on OS, you may have to treat the directories as special cases as well. Specifically, I give these files no permissions after setup is complete: setup/index.php setup/code.php setup/header.php setup/lists.php setup/state.php This was the only way I could get it to work and still maintain some level of security. I had to look at the web server log file a lot as well, to get some feedback why things weren't working as expected. I hope this helps. And if you see anything I've missed, please let me know. Phil

Ryan, I don't want to seem like I'm pushing this point, I'm just new to the way CTCT works. The workaround we have is not something I can control long term, since my client has volunteers setup events, and I can't stop them doing something that would upset the system, beyond monitoring it myself manually. My question is: will there be a notification somewhere (blog, this forum, etc) when this issue gets fixed? Where should I look or can I be notified somehow? Thanks, Phil

I can confirm that un-deleting the deleted item appears to work as a work around.

I have been successfully retrieving a list of events for the account 0017score for several weeks. Recently (not sure when) I have started to get an HTTP 500 error calling the API. I successfully retrieve pages 1,2 and 3, then fail with the call to: https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/0017score/events?pageNumber=4 Since it is a 500 error I don't get anything else to work with. I know that there are 4 pages, since the previous API call to the event list gave me the URL above, and also looking at the regular Constant Contact admin console I see there are 4 pages of events listed. I wish I could give you more information than that, unfortunately the API is failing in a way that I can't give you anything else. Please let me know how I can help, and give me a timeline when this will be resolved. Thanks, Phil
