Hi,
I'm currently working on a newsletter module for Siena, and hopefully some people want to try it out.
Please note that I am still very much learning PHP and Cotonti. This is my first module so please bare with me and feel free to point out problems or improvements. :)
Features:
-
It will only send the newsletter to subscribed users. Users can simply subscribe to the newsletter by ticking a checkbox in their profile.
-
Admins can easily create a newsletter with for example CKEditor.
-
When creating a newsletter an admin can choose to first send a test version to the administrator's email address, before mass sending.
-
Every newsletter will have the user's name in the salutation.
-
Every newsletter delivered to the user will have an unsubscribe link which they can click to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
-
The newsletters are kept in the database, so you can easily view a history of the newsletters that were sent..
Installation:
-
Drop the newsletter folder in your Cotonti's module folder.
-
Install the module in your administration panel.
-
The installer will add an extrafield to the database, you need to add this extrafield to the users.profile.tpl file.
The field is: {USERS_PROFILE_NEWSLETTER}

Note: Do NOT use this module on a live website, it has not fully been tested yet and proper auth stuff is not yet in place.
