Is it double-opt-in?

@matt no it is, but that will certainly be a feature in the future

@chicken:

I am using iionlys Extended TinyMCE 4.0.12 r30 intead of normal TinyMCE.

How can I make your plug in wokring with that version?

Ask Iionly to add to his manifest:

<provides>

      <type>plugin</type>

      <name>tinymce</name>

      <version>1.8</version>

</provides>

Comming soon

@Jorome: unfortunately, it won't work to add a <provides> clause to the manifest file of the Extended TinyMCE plugin because there's already a <conflicts> clause for the bundled TinyMCE plugin to prevent both plugins being enabled at the same time. It seems that Elgg core is not prepared for the possibility of a plugin meant to "replace" another plugin by allowing both a conflicts and provides clause for the very same plugin. Unfortunately, there's also no way to <requires> the existence of a plugin within a range of several plugins (i.e. either "tinymce" or "extended_tinymce" or "ckeditor").

So, the only way to get the Newsletter plugin working with any other but the default tinymce plugins is by manually modifing the manifest.xml of the Newsletter plugin and changing the plugin name of the html editor plugin to whatever alternative plugin is used (e.g. "extended_tinymce" instead of "tinymce").

this does not work for me.. when i tried with group newsletter. I scheduled a message to send at 1pm but was never send. when i tried send now it was shown under senting tab but never send..

what to do?

not tried with site newsletter

@Satheesh PM:

First question: do you have a working hourly cron?

Second: Any errors in the error log?

Third: Is it an open/closed group? And is it hidden?

@chicken:

I have the same issues as satheesh PM with site newsletter as well.

If I want to send it now - the newsletter turns to sending and stays there and nothing further happens...

I logged an issue in Github to help solve the problem https://github.com/ColdTrick/newsletter/issues/13

@chicken

any chance to config your plug in with extended tinyMCE version?

Probably not, we discussed it internaly and possibly the calls we make to TinyMCE won't work in the newer version of TinyMCE.

@jerome,

 sorry i didnt configure hourly cron.. i will share the result after 1 hr.

@Jerome: confirmed. The Newsletter plugin will not work with the Extended TinyMCE plugin (or with any other HTML editor plugin that is already based on version 4 of the TinyMCE editor). Additionally, the Newsletter plugin in its present form will also not work on Elgg 1.9 due to the dependency on version 3 of the TinyMCE editor because CKeditor will be replacing the TinyMCE editor as bundled HTML editor. I might note that the Extended TinyMCE plugin works both on Elgg 1.8 and Elgg 1.9 though. ;-)

its still not working...

Hello

I am implementing this plugin, but it raises some questions.

Is there any way to make it appear on the home page of a theme, or add it as a widget? At the moment, it only appears in my "more".

Thank you, now.

Can't get this one to work properly. Embedding content seems broken and somehow the newsletters remain in the "sending" folder. cron and everything is set up correctly.

No log file could be found, are you sure this newsletter is already sent. what could be the problem?

Anyone got this to work properly with 1.8.18? This seems like a really useful plugin.

@Jerome, thanks for this plugin. I am testing it and it really looks sophisticated. I noticed a small issue, when a visitor is subscribing and uses an email of a registered users (that is what testers usually do :-) it gives a fatal error. You might want to fix that.

"Exception #1395323328: exception 'IOException' with message 'Unable to save new object's base entity information!"

i'm wondering if this is intended to be a replacement for the 'digest' plugin? or are they sufficiently different that both might be used?

@ura soul

There is a difference bewteen Newsletter and Digest.

Digest: automated (personalized) overview of activity over the past x daysNewsletter: A notificatie to site users which is composed by site/group admins

ok, i think i would prefer a combination of the two - so that the digest has the option of including a typed message from admins or not. no time to customise the code currently though.

This is an really awesome plugin, but it has issues with anything but the standard elgg_core tinyMCE editor, see here: https://github.com/ColdTrick/newsletter/issues/18

Has anyone figured out how to solve the "No log file could be found, are you sure this newsletter is already sent." issue that is related to the faliure to send out newsletters?

I've finally had a chance to test this out - really well done.
