Default VB e-mail plugins (mail chimp)
So, we've been looking into setting up a newsletter for our website that automatically draws information from our front page into an HTML e-mail.
We've found two possible solutions so far:
1) ForoMail is a mailing plug-in designed for vbulletin. It has the capabilities to draw information from pages in our CMS, but doesn't format them well and I'm not sure yet how to modify that if at all possible.
2) MailChimp has the flexibility we desire to take a CMS page and convert it to an HTML newsletter. However the MailChimp Plug-In for VBulletin was designed by a third party and was designed for VBulletin 3.8 and we're not sure if its compatible with up-to-date Vbulletin 4.1 software.
While we experiment more with this, I'd like to know if anybody out there has done HTML newsletters through VBulletin. Some questions I have:
Can ForoMail be modified to convert entire CMS pages into HTML e-mails?
Is MailChimp a worthwhile program to try to use? Will it work with vbulletin 4.1?
Has anyone tried this before? Does anyone have tips for me?
Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide.
