Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm sure it's going to be very useful to me in the near future !

Hi Ludo, I am trying to use your simplenewsletter extension. Following your guidelines. My problem is that i dont see how the end product or tool will be. How do you actually send a newsletter to many registered users. It would be nice if you can describe how to make and send newsletters.

Thanks
Ole

hi ole,

If you have correctly done the newsleter's extension installation, you should have ,in the ezpublish root directory 1 newsletter class object which name is like
'infoBazar aout 2005'.

I kwow it's not very clear but this object is the newsletter.(You can rename it as 'newsletter' if you prefer)

secondly you have to create an acces to anonymous user for seeing the newsletter class, and create a button for seeing this page.

3.add content to newsletter object editing the object in the admin interface.

each time you edit and publish the newsletter object, content of this object is automatically send to the receivers.

to signup to the newsletter, anonymous users have a button that appears in the newsletter page of your site.(automatically too..)

for each inscription , they receive an information email that say what you want(in newsletter.ini)

you can add manually a newsletter receiver.go to users/newsletter/ and add a new 'Abonnné newsletter'.

Important:
If you are sure that the workflow doesn't work right, put the extension/newsletter/eventypes/event/mailinscription directory into :Kernel/classes/workflowtypes/event.

Improvement of step 10:

You need to tell eZ publish that the extension newsletter contains workflow event types.

[EventSettings]
ExtensionDirectories[]=newsletter
AvailableEventTypes[]=event_mailinscription

Now it will check the extension called "newsletter" for workflow event types. The workaround under "<i>Important</i>" in the previous post won't be necessary anymore.

Instead of putting these settings in <b>settings/override/workflow.ini</b>, you can put them inside the extension in the file <b>extension/newsletter/settings/workflow.ini.append</b>. If you disable the extension, eZ publish will not read the settings of the extension anymore and the workflow type in the extension will not be available anymore.

the worklfow.ini is already in the newsletter/settings.

but in some installations, workflow.ini is not read, so I need to put this file in the kernel.

Do you know why this bug?
thanks.

Never encountered this problem before.

On which version of eZ publish does this happen?

it appears on 3.5.2

but on one site it works fine an on two others it doesn't work.
I've verify all the settings.
It seems to be the same parametters in the 3 cases???
I don't understand nothing..
