I dono if this has been thought through. Using the forum template relies on every path in the style sheet to be absolute.

Also, when you do a test send, the email sends but the page redirects to non existent page.

Another point: I have 18,000 members. I told it to send 10 emails per cycle.. So maybe you could explain that better. I then set it to send 9000 per cycle. The screen's gone white and the page has stopped loading, so i'm not sure if i've send the email or not.

I'm sure it's fine for forums with one or two members in, but not mine

The mail function in this version is called per user in this version, so you may want to keep it at about 1000 or so (try less if you'd like). And when you do a test send, it shouldn't redirect at all heh.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i' in [path]/c_news_letter.php on line 271

I get the above code for some (but not all users). I set to send to 500 members per cycle and I only have 1,000 members.

Any ideas on what might be going wrong here?

Does your pro version work with 3.6? Also, I have a quick question gio about buying one of your pro mods - could you message me? AIM: tripalot8998

as for the images if you included the whole path in your VBB image settings paths instead of the short ref to root path, then the images are downloaded (if you give them permission to)when you open the email.

This is probably a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find where to find the VBB image settings path??

Unfortunately, this mod only works if your style uses only basic style formatting, as done entirely through the CSS settings available in AdminCP's style manager. For forums with advacned styling, that use any customised CSS, the mod doesn't work - it completely fails on both of my forums.

Link me over to a demo or pm me so that you can forward me a copy. As I've said before, even though the light mod isn't built with the same style handling, etc.. It should still cover general layouts and stuff for the most part and not break on you.. So if you're having a problem, just let me know :up:

OK, i am a newbie for uploading and installing any mods, please be gentle. I entered my cpanel and found the forum folder in the web-root directory. I created a new folder and uploaded the files from the upload folder.

I have tried it by uploading all of the files within the upload folder as well as all but the .xml file and placing the .xml file into the admincp of my vBullitin.

I think I am uploading to the wrong place but I don't know what else to try.

Where did I go wrong?

[Kaycee123]

You need to upload c_news_letter to your main forum directory (where you see your admincp, modcp folders etc) and then go into the /includes/xml directory and upload the cpnav_c_news_letter file there.

There's no need to make a new folder under forums.

It works fine, just two things:

- When you click "GO" to sent a test newsletter it gives me the typical IE screen of "No Page Found" but the e-mail is sent anyway and arrive OK at destination.

- When I send the newsletter to my users most e-mails came back, specially when users have Hotmail accounts wih the error message: "Returned due rejection policy".
