Major Additions - microNEWSLETTER (Mailinglist Manager)

*** Link Removed ***

[Nadeemjp]

MAria good mod.
i just upgraded to vb4 and yours is the first mod i installed.
i have a question, your instructions do not tell us how to send the newsletter?
i have configured as instructed, but now i need to send a letter to my members telling them we are back open.

second thing is, i have currently 845 users. my hosting servers allow me to only send 500 mails per hour. how can i manage that?

looking forward to hearing from you

Nice mod. Can I add multiple emails at once?

only problem now is the To Unsubscribe from this Mailing, Click Here ... there is no link to click.

Heyyyy !!! Think a bit deeper ....lol... (I'm kidding). It's a test email. I removed the link from there, because if you clicked it by mistake (to test it), you'll be removed from the list ...lol..

Send email works with the help of a cron job. If you left datetime unchanged, then the emails will be send in the next cron run (default: every 30 min). If you want to send them right now, you must run the crom microNEWSLETTER manually.

Do you mean vB's CMS? This is automatic. But if you've vB's installation in a subdirectory (eg forums), then you must edit your site's index.php to contain only:

<?php
header("location:myforumdirectory/content.php");
?>

Change myforumdirectory with the actual directory name

Do you mean email addresses, or email messages? Most probably email addresses. Currently not, but in an upgrade I'll add a feature to allow multiple insertions (but not importing).

ah thank you so much maria, i have been driven crazy for this problem.
my all vb files are in public_html/forums so i write the word "forums" minus the quotes in place of myforumdirectory?

You're write:

<?php
  header("location:forums/content.php");
?>

but better download the attached file and upload it to your ROOT directory.

Thanks! I have a few thousand I'd love to add but looks like I'll need to do it one by one. Here's another feature request, making it possible to export/import through the same mod. Would be nice to have a file of all the emails as backup.
