Birthday Cards plugin for Cotonti:
Automatically sends HTML birthday greeting e-mails every day.
#1. Requirements:
-
Cotonti >= 0.0.2.
-
T3 PostMan plugin installed and configured.
-
Anyone should visit your Administration panel at least once a day.
-
Internal cache must be enabled.
#2. Installation:
-
Put the "bdaycards" directory into your Cotonti "plugins" folder.
-
Go to admin panel and install the plugin.
-
Go to the plugin configuration, change message title and body.
-
OK, you are done.
#3. Usage:
-
Every time you or your teammates enter the administration panel, the plugin checks if it has to greet someone today and does it, if it hasn't done it already.
-
You can change the greeting message subject, sender address and HTML body in the plugin configuration. You can turn auto-sending feature on/off while you test your message.
-
You can test your message by sending it to some user (for example, yourself) with a "Birthday Cards" tool in Administration -> Tools.
-
If you want today's messages to be sent again, go to Administration -> Other -> Cache and clear the internal cache.
-
You can keep track of the birthday cards auto-sending in Administration -> Other -> Logs.
Things to remember, before you send a bug report:
-
T3 PostMan should be installed and configured properly. It is used for sending the mail.
-
Main administration page should be visited at least once a day. We could use more common hooks, but on extremely loaded sites they may result into race conditions and double-sent greetings.
-
If you clear the internal cache, all today's birthday greetings will be sent again.
