Newsletter for TP 3.2 release ?

Hi Marketing team members !

anyone do a small newsletter for TP 3.2 release ?

it would be great !

regards,

zi

Do you mean an announcement like before or a full blown newsletter?

A newsletter, full blown newsletter outgoing to all members, containing

News,
New Additions,
Changelog (if exist)
Main site links, (just to point out "for-what-where-to-go")
Forum stats !

I think its clear !

And a lot of work!

That would take probably 6-8 hours to do properly. :blink:

But I do think it’s a very good idea.

On a related topic. I have need of a newsletter module for a site. I have a hack working on Etomite but I’ll probably end up doing an almost total rewrite for MODx. It’s pretty hacky for Etomite but with modules, plugins, web users, TVs and the improved APIs in MODx it should be a lot simpler and cleaner.

Anyway, all that to say some time down the road I’ll probably be releasing a newsletter module.

I m sorry to hear that ....................

OMG, lets do it short then !!

Draft!

Now this would be awesome. If would also be nice to allow web users to subscribe to multiple newsletters/RSS feeds via a web user newsletter control panel.

With that said you might also want to take a look at the new NewsFeed snippets and NewsPublisher snippets.

That’s a great idea. I’ve also thought it would be good to have a sort of an email notification feature for web users so that they could be emailed when a page changes. It would be really easy to do. We actually do something like this for manager users now, so that the people responsible for a certain page can know when changes are made. However, the publishing workflow features should be a far superior alternative to the email on changes method.

You most certainly can. See the OnBeforeDocFormSave and OnDocFormSave events. With these you can create a plugin to send out emails to users within a mailing list.

Btw does the QuickEdit module trigger these events?

No, actually, it doesn’t. I’m working on it now.
