Cyboman Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hi headstand, I'm interested in your plugin, but I have a severe notice: It's nice to being able to select the member groups, which shall receive the newsletter. But there should be an essential selection switch: I need it to select the members that opted in to "receive emails by admin". This is the option, which can be selected on the registration screen or in the notification settings. There are a lot countries, like in the EU, where you are not allowed to send emails, if members haven't explicitly opted in! As an alternative, it could be possible to have a special "optin" option in the notification settings. But this means, that all members have to be opted out per default. And they must take individual action to optin for newsletters. Problem will be big communities with >100.000 members, that many members will newer optin. So (1.) should be better. Moreover you should also be able to select to only send to members "receive emails by admin" that have been online during the last <xxx> days. Like in the IPS bulk email options. Anyway, I think this should be a standard feature in IPS to have some placeholders for "last newest 10 topics" or "newest 5 downloads" or.... What I would like to realize is something like this newsletter structure f.e.: HEADER IMAGE / BANNER (individually designed) INDIVIDUALLY WRITTEN INTRODUCTION ("Hi xyz, this is our newsletter for christmas 2016..." SECTION 1 - WITH INDIVIDUAL TEXT Here are our newest themes from last week <placeholder for newest themes from last week> <- your plugin SECTION 2 - WITH INDIVIDUEL TEXT Here are our newest downloads from last week <placeholder for newest downloads from last week> <- your plugin SECTION 3 (individual advertisement, text & banner) FOOTER I'm not sure if I could realize this structure with your plugin and # use different "placeholders", and # also multiple content elements placeholders in the same newsletter and # have individual manually written content in between the sections (mixed contents and placeholders in sequence) And I would also love to get at least 1 or 2 predesigned templates. I'm not a good template designer and I would be totally satisfied with a basically designed template, that looks better than plain html... I know, a lot input at once... Anyway, good work! I'm going to be curious, how this plugin evolves... Thanks! Link to comment

I will add #1. #2 already exists (users can subscribe/unsubscribe from newsletters). As for #3, I'm not looking to add any kind of filters or anything similar to the bulk mail - I think if you're looking to do that, use bulk mail. 4 hours ago, Cyboman said: What I would like to realize is something like this newsletter structure f.e.: HEADER IMAGE / BANNER (individually designed) INDIVIDUALLY WRITTEN INTRODUCTION ("Hi xyz, this is our newsletter for christmas 2016..."

Not quite what I said. Link to comment
HeadStand Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 A new version has been pushed to the marketplace. Changes include: Multiple custom content templates did not work (only the first was used). Fixed Link to comment

Yes, i have updated it. EDIT: It seems like the Preview does not actual preview it if using the IPS Wrapper. Thanks! Edited December 22, 2016 by Jimmy Gavekort Link to comment
OctoDev Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Suggestion: - Force all users to subscribe to specific news letter (force, as in enable it for them once then they can disable if wanted). - Ability to edit the default IPS Template (maybe adding some extra txt here n there). - Ability to enable it, so all new people that register gets signed up on the news letter automatically. @HeadStand really hope to see those, merry christmas <3 Link to comment

That's what the "Default Groups" setting is for when you edit the newsletter. #2 - in theory you could copy the IPS template and use it to create a new template. There isn't really anything for me to do here, you just need to copy/paste. #3 - It already works like this. See my comment on #1. OctoDev 1 Link to comment
