The members can unsubscribe turning off "Receive emails from Admins".

I set it all up and the test email worked fine, when I scheduled a full email blast it came back with a database error.

I shortened it cause it quoted the whole message:

Quote:

Just installed this and looking it over, is there a way to actually type something into the message without having to create a thread in the forum?

I wanted to add a message to my newsletter with links etc.

I don't believe this is possible is it?

Why you don't believe it? Because it's free? That means nothigs.
admincp-> Newsletter Options-> General Settings-> Head Message
(If you like, add a personal message to appear at the top of the newsletter.)

The link to the pro version seems to be broken, is there an updated link?

Christos Teriakis 03-03-2012 03:22 PM

I'm updating my site to latest vB version plus making some changes. Please come back in about 24h. For now you can only register at:

Sorry to ask so many questions;
But I just created my first newsletter, and scheduled the send:
On the schedule newletter button it said "To Send: 2240" "Sent 0"

So I ran the crons, and now on the scheduled newsletter there is nothing showing as anything schedule. But I never got the newsletter, and when I check the cron log for Newsletter bounce and Newsletter. They both come up with no matches found. So I don't think they actually did anything.

Any ideas to what I'm doing wrong?

Christos Teriakis 03-04-2012 06:45 AM

First and most important. Are your hosting provider allows use of Mail() function? eg GoDaddy does not allows it. The free version sends messages only with the use of Mail(), while the Pro supports sendmail() and SMTP.

Second. How it works. Lets say that you've schedule to send it at: 01:00 on March 04. At that time the cronjob will build the newsletter with the current forum content and store it in database. After finishing it, another cron will start sending messages in packages of xxx messages per cycle according to your settings.
This is the way that it works, and works for sure.

Chris

cdoyle 03-04-2012 01:40 PM

I was able to get it to work this time, not sure why it didn't the first time.

Had a couple feature requests for you to consider:
The first, is for the popular threads. If there was a way to select a date span would be great. Right now, it's must be going by just the post count and it's finding threads from 7 years ago. If we could have a date span, we could set it to display popular threads from the last month or since the last newsletter went out.

Another feature that would be nice is the ability change the buckets around. For example, be able to have the latest threads bucket display first, and then the popular thread bucket.

Thanks!
Chris

Do you plan on making a vb4.1.x version?

1320Nation 03-24-2012 08:05 PM

Can someone please shows an example HTML code to use for the Header and Footer templete?

Show me what you used and cross out your site address if you need to. I keep getting red X's and white boxes with the code I've been using. Thanks!

A very simple example. Please note that if you want to add images you must write the full URL to the photo.

1.- Header
HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left">
<img border="0" src="http://www.mydomain.com/images/logo.jpg">
</td>
<tr>
<td>

2. Footer
HTML Code:

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
Copyright <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/">SuperSite</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

As I said, this is a simple example. You can use some styling by placing:
HTML Code:

<style>

</style>

in head section

I just bought the pro version, but there does not seem to be a download link - do you have to do that manually ??

ericholtman 03-30-2012 11:27 PM

How did you buy it? I can't seem to find it.

oldlock 03-31-2012 05:11 AM

The develoers signature image links to the site, but i don't know that the site is working. I have never seen a software purchase system that did not allow the immediate download of the product once payment is made !?

Hello,


Even if I don't believe that this is the right place for this discussion, I'm replying to avoid misunderstanding to other users:
  1. My site is active
  2. As I seen your order is active. Thank you.
  3. The downloads are immediatelly after the PayPal responce.
  4. There is a Tab "My Account" where you can can find all your downloads
  5. You must first click "Submit URL". Enter the URL where you'll install the mod and save. After it you'll see the download link
I'll appreciate if you post in my forums any problem that maybe you have, as this thread is for the free version.

Thank you
Chris

Hi,
When scheduling a newsletter there is a message about being available to visitors, and a note about if marked yes it will be a dropdown option in the archives?

I wasn't sure, where is this archive? How would visitors, or other members go back and read old newsletters?

Thanks
chris

Hello,

This will be on the next release.

michaelbang 04-12-2012 11:46 AM

In my country, it's illegal to SPAM my members. Is there an option to subscrie to the newsletter? Or only unsubscribe?

Does the mod add something to my register page, so that people can check if they want my newsletter or not?

And what about the users that are already registered? Do they automatically recieve the newsletter until they unsubscribe?

Thanks.

Heardy 04-18-2012 03:54 PM

I'm still getting To Send: 0, Sent: 0.

I've run the scheduled tasks and get the "Done" but nothing adds onto them, what can I do?

michaelbang 05-12-2012 09:13 PM

How do I get the PRO version? Link on first page does not work.

Nelson58 05-13-2012 01:20 PM

Having trouble adding the header and footer, where do I get the codes for that from.

For those that don't bother to read the entire thread the ONLY way it seems to unsubscribe is via this:

How abouts making a standalone option to unsubscribe purely from the mailing list else this might be somewhat annoying to both users and administrators on the site. As this really would be a lot better, as some sites may not allow users to turn off that option yet that would also mean users wouldn't stop getting the email even if they didn't want it anymore thus causing people to get annoyed and maybe leave.

Also is it possible to re-arrange the layout of the email it sends? EG: Put Latest Threads at top, or something?

Delfi_r 07-19-2012 07:50 PM

Anyone knows an actively maintained plugin that does the same?

A simple solution I came up with for my weekly newsletter was I created an additional user group called weekly newsletter. I subscribed all my members to it as an additional user group. I added this link http://www.guesswho.com/forum/profil...editusergroups to the bottom of the newsletter. When they click it, it takes them to their permission groups so they can leave the group.
When I schedule a newsletter I just pull from the weekly newsletter group only each time.

I run the pro version of this mod and there is no way of unsubscribing without un-ticking email from admin either. Something I don't like about it!
This is Mary's old mod and it use to have an unsubscribe feature but it was taken out.

Now I'm going to answer your question, NO I do not know where you can find the pro version these days. The authors site has been closed for all I know. :(

:I see the author is still around he was online this month.
