[Snippet] Newsletter (Improved version from Luca Allulli)

when I go to the test sire, I get the vesion history, a link to subscribe and unsubscribe and 2 links for creating newsletters. when I click on the create newsletter links, It tells me I dont have permission.

Of course you can’t

You need to login first.
Here is the full features listing, as well as the testing site.

Btw, try it on your site, because it should work on yours. If you want the latest built, visit this site http://svn.djamoer.net/modx/trunk/snippets/newsletter/resources/newsletter.snippet.php

I dont get a login, only an option to sign up.

Ehm are you trying it out on my testing site or on yours?
If you want to test it on mine, use this address to login, http://test.djamoer.net/manager/

Btw, don’t try to send out an email though, because some people had been subscribed to the system, and I don’t want any email to be sent out to them, and causing them to curse me because they thought I’m spamming their email

I also received this error

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:

The person reporting it before me - I didn’t notice a solution, was one found ?

Sorry, I’ve never seen this error, but it seems that you’re not using any SEF at all. If that’s the case, try changing the template of the newsletter, which contains [~[*id*]~]?mode=doc into [~[*id*]~]&mode=doc

Does it? Where might I find that ?

This snippet "call" I used is :-

[!newsletter? &mode=doc!]

It’s inside the snippet code. If you have text editor, you might want to search for that string.
