vazco_mailer v1.1
Release Notes
CHANGES FROM 1.0:
- a few minor bugs were fixed
There's a commercial version of this plugin, with a lot more features, available here. It allows to send messages to multiple users and groups, as well as to collections. It supports templates. You can test it live on this site.
HOW IT LOOKS:
Administartor can send e-mail to all the group members. He can use special markers:
{$message_receiver} - the name of the receiver of the message
And templates for e-mails. Templates can be later used by group e-mails. Some markers for templates:
{$message_body} - the context of the message {$message_title} - the title of the message {$message_sender} - the name of the sender of the message
Template example:
when you create the template in plugins settings:
[image - logo of my page]
Welcome {$message_receiver}
{$message_body}
(This message was sent to you by {$message_sender})
and send "It's good you joined this group" message to the group, each group member will get the following message:
[image - logo of my page]
Welcome Name Surname
It's good you joined this group
(This message was sent to you by Admin's name Surname)
INSTALLATION:
- copy to mod folder and enable
- you can configure some PHPmailer settings in plugin's settings, but it's not required for the plugin to work
NOTE:
This plugin is using PHPMailer methods created by Cash Costello in the PHPMailer plugin.

Thank you for providing this to the community!
What are the main differences, between the version posted here on the Elgg Community and the commercial version? What does the commercial version have that this download does not have?
Ukr, you can send messages to whole communities, multiple groups of your chosing, users - and all this at once. You can use ajax interface. You have a lot more access settings.
You can go here for example and a full description.
Vazco, who has access to sending email. Group owners ?
Currently admins in demo version. In full version group owners also can have access. They can set access for individual users of their groups as well.
can you send emails/newsletters to your entire community? or are they all internal messages?
t's possible to send e-mails and newsletters as well
I have installed this my 1.6.1 elgg instance and it does not seem to be over-riding the send messages page as expected. I still see the old send message page. The group mailer plugin is installed correctly and is also at the bottom of my plugin list. Does anyone have it working in 1.6.1?
Thanks
Sean
Sean, only the full version is overriding the send messages page. This version allows you to send messages to members of a given group and supports templates.
Is this compatible with 1.7?
Pamplona, no, not yet. The commercial version will be upgraded to 1.7 soon.
Hi there!
I have a problem with the mailer. Whenever I try to send a groups email it returns the following error:
Form is missing __token or __ts fields
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks :)
