eZ systems developing a Newsletter module?

Friday 06 January 2006 8:14:25 am

I read in this article about eZ systems developing a new newsletter module:

http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications/newsletter

Are there any information about this module yet?
When will it be released?

We have a customer now that wants a module like this integrated in theis solution, so I am looking at developing one or wait for this module to be released...

Yep, we are still working on it but we expect a first public version within 14 days. It will be in beta for a while though.

Some features :

- Powerful subscription and subscription list handling.
- Supports multiple subscription lists per newsletter list.
- Sends out content objects as newsletters ( approval workflow possible )
- Bounce management
- Newsletter feedback statistics per newsletter.
- Multiple output formats
- Automatic email personalization
- Send newsletters are template based

Subscribers can be both eZ user objects and non-registered users.

Hi,

On phplist, a feature that's been invaluable :
- if the sending of a newsletter stops in the middle (shit happens), you can rerun it an the contact having already received it won't receive it again.

Do you have a feature like that ?

Hi!

I've added some code to contribution for a subscription/newsletter module:

I guess the module developed now by eZ Systems will be more advanced, but feel free to test it..or use code from these tpl- and php files if you need to add more functionality to your own notification system.

Now I've shared some code for different stuff the last weeks which is developed for and by Oslo University College, and I therefore encourage other companies to do the same. Do you have an interesting feature or application developed in eZ publish, so add it to the contribution ;) Then we can save costs and also get eZ publish more interesting, including reuse of code.

Best regards

Hi now,

on 10 January, Frederik Holljen posted that this would be available in beta in 14 days, but I haven't seen anything further.
What is the current status?

Hello,

I am also really looking forward to the release of this newsletter module.
The features posted here really got me interested.

Especially the features bounce management and the ability to email ezContentObjects.

<b>on Fabricio Guerrero's post:</b>
On a mailing last week i had the same problem.

Are you sending the correct MIME-headers and content-type?

The solution to my problem was using SMTP instead of sendmail.
Sendmail had overridden my custom MIME-headers so MS outlook did not interpret the mail message like it should.
This could be the cause of your problem.

Thanks for your suggestion. But i better wait till the stable release.
I think fault toleration when mailing a large user subscription database is zero.

Can anyone confirm a release date of the stable release of this extension?
