== Frequently Asked Questions == 

= Requirements = 
* __Requires PHP5__ for list management functionality. 
* __Requires `curl`__ to be enabled on the server.

If your web host does not support PHP5 and/or `curl`, please contact your host and see if they can upgrade your PHP version and activate `curl`; generally this can be done, and at no cost.

= What is the plugin license? =

* This plugin is released under a GPL license.

= What is Mad Mimi? =

= Do I need a Mad Mimi account to use this plugin? =
Yes, this plugin requires a Mad Mimi account. <a href="http://bit.ly/mad-mimi" rel="nofollow">Sign up for a free account here</a>.


= How do I use the new `apply_filters()` functionality? (Added 1.1) =
If you want to change some code in the widget, you can use the WordPress `add_filter()` function to achieve this.

You can add code to your theme's `functions.php` file that will modify the widget output. Here's an example:
<pre>
function my_example_function($widget) { 
	// The $widget variable is the output of the widget
	// This will replace 'this word' with 'that word' in the widget output.
	$widget = str_replace('this word', 'that word', $widget);
	// Make sure to return the $widget variable, or it won't work!
	return $widget;
}
add_filter('mad_mimi_signup_form', 'my_example_function');
</pre>

You can also modify the error message by hooking into `mad_mimi_signup_form_error` in a similar manner.

== Changelog ==

= 1.2.2 =
* Runs a check to see if `curl_init` is supported by the web host; it's required for this plugin
* Fixed readme.txt links to MadMimi

= 1.2.1 = 
* Critical upgrade - fixes widget not displaying in Widgets page

= 1.2 =
* Added support for PHP4 servers. The plugin won't have the user list management functionality, but everything else should work.
* Fixed potential error when submitting a form without a selected user list
* Added form id to input id's to allow for better `<label>` handling
* Added notice for users without PHP5
* Added `wpautop()` formatting to signup success message, meaning that it will add paragraphs if none were provided

= 1.1 =
* For those experiencing the `implode()` fatal error (it even *sounds* bad!), this update should fix it thanks to an updated `mimi_signup_lists()` function in `madmimi_widget.php`.
* Added error message check to make sure the error message displays on the form that was submitted, not another Mad Mimi form.
* Added checks for whether or not there are any lists, and if not, add the contact to the All Audience List
* Added three hooks for `add_filter()`: `mad_mimi_signup_form` modifies the form if used by shortcode or in the widget, `mad_mimi_signup_form_widget` modifies the widget output (including before and after the form), and `mad_mimi_signup_form_error` modifies the error message. Refer to the FAQ for more information.
