Why isn't there any newsletter module created?

Guess topic says pretty much of it, why isn’t it any? I know there is a newsletter snippet, but it isnt 100% stable for big sites and hasnt all functions.. Why isnt there any module created?

Thanks for a super great CMS anyway, I searched internet for 2 days and looked trough about 20-30 CMS and installed about 5, I didn’t like any of them untill I tried MODx, I had it downloaded but didn’t think it would please my needs But it surely did, 100% what I was looking for!

The simple reason is because MODx is relatively new, and people writing for it have focused elsewhere.

Your best bet is probably to find a newsletter script from elsewhere and port it to the MODx framework.

What exactly are the functions you are looking for, and what big sites are you looking to use it with?

Well, heh, its not a "big" site. I havent launched it yet cause i want to configure all.

Things i want to use in a newsletter-function from the backend interface:

1 - List numbers of subscribers
2 - Send email (html css template or plain text) to one or more users
3 - Send email to all users in a group, if they are in more groups then combine the newsletter sent with two headers, one "topic" for each group. Like this:

"Group 1
We have now updated the things in lala.

Group 2
There was some changes here!"

If the user is subscribed to both group1 and group2.

4 - Function to track users who clicked links in the newsletter

And front-end:

Function to stop recieving newsletter
Function to signup to newsletter

Also should be simple to add a user to group/s via other scripts, like if the user sign up to a affiliate site he automatic gets signed to the newsletter (like the other 3rd part script adds data directly to mysql)

Thats what i could think of right now!

Thanks

Beejay, don’t bother with this code, there is a Newsletter snippet already, and it’s pretty mature (posted in january) and powerful :
