in the conf.inc.php are already the smtp settings! so you can read as admin in the backend your mails at the server. answer them......

tell me one reason why!?

so we also need no stats modul cos every good webhoster have one installed for you!!

also you can edit from every place your content. so what is so bad on this idea to read your mails over phpwcms.

I need a stats module cause I have many phpwcms in the same webhotel and every client would like to see stats based on there own site (folder) and not for the whole server....

I don´t need to rezieve email in the backend when you have a internal msg system... just my 2 cents....

You asked for feedback and I told you my opion....it is not me who decide what to make and not to make... I just told you I don´t think it was a good idea... maybe all other forum members think it sounds great - but I have nothing to use it for....

ohh yes ooh yes,.... I would like that to...

and then you should be able to add and delete maillinglist members via the backend and eg. write the email via wysiwug editor...in frontend I would like a subscripe/unsupscripe feature....

Thats pretty well exactly what I was thinking...
Also if it could handle multiple maillist that would be great.
If it could be set-up that the member can choose the maillist they want to be part of during the subscribing.
And be able to go back and edit those settings.

i like that wcms cook my coffee and beak my eggs ... :D

is that possible ?

but away with humor


a lot of scripts are filled with to much functions !

i don't hope here are we go the same way


all special things good for mods or hacks ... maybe them are better to realize with a special mod api in wcms ... that way i find acceptable ...

blown up scripts be the hell for webmaster and users too

Yes... I think as optional mods...

I would love to see a robust API for mods created.
and perhaps a method for managing them similar to the one in Typo3.

This seems like a great way to go.

I just knew that integration with a great maillist manager would be useful to many people.

it's quite funny i ask for an e-mail client in the admin and you start a discussion about the newsletter function. where everbody knows that the newsletter will come.

and what is so bad that only the admin can check the mails via wcms. i always speak from the admin not for the whole users wich can login in the backend.

It will take tons of time to make a good email client(and there are many at the marked) - and the needs are not big (my opinion) and the times is better used on other things like the news letter function and frontend user thing... my 2 cents.

Why you don't use typo3? :idea:
I've tried it and it's very nice and very featurerich AND it's to big for me.
I like phpwcms because its nice to handle and not so feature overloaded.
