hi all,
I'm trying to create a simple newsletter system.
I have created a newsletter receivers usergroup.
there is only 3 arguments used:first name, name and email.
with an appropriate template, I can register newsletter receivers.
But my problem is: How to send a confirmation email that just say :"OK, U R registered..!!"

I'try to edit a workflow in Kernel but it's very difficult to understand.

Can someone give me the code to put in my workflow please?
After what I would like to create an other workflow (or notification?) for sending the newletter when I edit a new newsletter....

THANK U

ok; I have some new elements:
this workflow send a mail, but now I would grab the newsletter receiver email for email receiver..

  $var = phpcode();
function execute( &$process, &$event )
{

$mail = new eZMail();
 			include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezmail.php' );
            include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezmailtransport.php' );
			include_once( "lib/ezutils/classes/ezhttptool.php" );
include_once( "kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezuser.php" );
include_once( "kernel/classes/ezcontentclassattribute.php" );
include_once( "kernel/classes/ezcontentclass.php" );
$user =& eZUser::currentUser();
	 $emailSender ='[email protected]';
  	$receiver = '[email protected]';
  	$body='vous etes bien inscrit à la newsletter!';
            
            $mail->setSender( $emailSender );
            $mail->setReceiver( $receiver );
            $subject = 'inscription à la newsletter ok';
           
            $mail->setSubject( $subject );
            $mail->setBody( $body );
            $mailResult = eZMailTransport::send( $mail );
return EZ_WORKFLOW_TYPE_STATUS_ACCEPTED;

}

I have tested something like:

$receiver=$user->attribute( 'email' );

but that doesnt work.

thank U for your help

ok,
today my workflow is able to send a mail to all the newsletter receivers (class ID=36)

$listeAbonnes = eZContentObject::fetchList( true, 
  array( 'contentclass_id' => 36,
         'status'          =>  EZ_CONTENT_OBJECT_STATUS_PUBLISHED) 
);
	
	
	

foreach($listeAbonnes as $Abonnes){

	$data_map=& $Abonnes->attribute( 'data_map' );
	$email = $data_map['email']->content();
		include_once( 'kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php' );
			include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezmail.php' );
			$mail = new eZMail();

 			 include_once( "kernel/common/template.php" );
            include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezmail.php' );
            include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezmailtransport.php' );
            
			include_once( "kernel/classes/ezcontentclass.php" );
			$nodeID=& eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( $nodeID );
			
	$mail_tpl =& templateInit();
	$mail_tpl->setVariable( 'node_id', $nodeID );
	$mailTemplateResult =& $mail_tpl->fetch( 'design:newsletter/newsletter.tpl' );

	$mailTemplateResult =$mailTemplateResult .'zut';
		
		
		 $emailSender ='[email protected]';
  		 $receiver = $email;
		
			$mail->setBody( $mailTemplateResult );

            $mail->setSender( $emailSender );		
            $mail->setReceiver( $receiver );
            $subject = 'Nouvelle Newsletter';
           
            $mail->setSubject( $subject );
            //$mail->setBody( $body );
            $mailResult = eZMailTransport::send( $mail );}
//return EZ_WORKFLOW_TYPE_STATUS_ACCEPTED;

but the call of the template (for sending the content of newsletter doesnt work...)
