newsletter problem
Hi expert,
Please help me to understand how this newsletter works in phpwcms. I'm using phpwcms 1.5.3
1. I see in "Communication" menu-> there is newsletter options:
newsletter
newsletter subscribers
newsletter subscriptions
2. then I want to create a subscriber form on the frontend. Here is what i did
I created an article Called
"Subscribe"
- Subscribe to our Newsletter
-- FORM content
in "Subscribe to Our newsletter", I have:
subtitle: Enter your email address here
category: Subscribe [ID:50]
In content part FORM, I have:
subject: <filled>
recipient: <filled>
database:
save form results [checked]
save user profile data [checked]
- at here there is "Download" button that I can see how many ppl subscribe
status: visible [checked]
Questions:
1. I want to see the linkage between article/form (form to ask ppl to sign up newsletter), and the communication->newsletter ?
Why can't the communication->newsletter maintain the subscriber list created from the signup form?
The subscribers that sign up, does not appear in communication->newsletter subscribers. Why ?
2. If I want to have newsletter auto-send to subscriber whenever there is new article created, is that possible ?
How ? if it is possible, do I firstly create the newsletter template , and that article should have newsletter contentpart ?
Appreciate your helps.
Regards,
Sky

Re: newsletter problem
Claus,
I have some questions about newsletter.
1. in Communication -> Newsletter, there is total/queuing/sent, may I know how soon it will be sent after queuing ? does the sent engine have any timing to trigger sending ?
Can I configure the timing when to trigger sent ?
Regards,
Sky

Re: newsletter problem
It will be sent immideately for sure
You can trigger looping: xx recipients per loop and time elapsed between loops. That should be enough...

Re: newsletter problem
Thanks. I checked the SMTP in conf.inc.php, the value looks OK.
At least from frontend, when I sign up newsletter, it able to trigger email to the email address that I specify in the subscription form.
I deleted all, and manually create a subscriber, activated the subscriber, and create a newsletter and checked for "newsletter active", but it only stay at 1/1/0 (total/queuing/sent) ,
How to make it sent ?????? or what are the list of conditions to fulfilled, in order to trigger sent ?
I don't understand by "You can trigger looping: xx recipients per loop and time elapsed between loops."

Re: newsletter problem
why newsletter is not sent at all after queue ?
Any expert here ? how to troubleshoot this ?
from frontend signup, email can be triggered successfully, so nothing wrong with SMTP setting in conf.inc.php

Re: newsletter problem
Hey Sky!
Don't get cheeky
Did you set the newsletter to [x] active?
If so, you have this little envelope with a green arrow. Click it and the next page will be the one, where you can send the letter to (test) recipients.
If not, update your system.
