I personally like the Send page as message feature
Raymond: every new feature you add is exciting! I have another idea that is possible thanks to your plugin system: a plugin that automatically sends as a newsletter every "news", i.e. every saved child of a the "news" folder. I only have to figure out how to display a confirmation dialog box.
Is it possible to parse the page content (i.e. to evaulate the snippets etc.), after retrieving it through $modx->getDocument?
See the evalSnippets and mergeHTMLSnippetsContent, mergePlaceholderContent, mergeSettingsContent functions
Very nice work Luca ,
In TP3 you’ll be able to extend the NewsLetter snippet by adding features like backend News letter management and the ability to use a RichText editor for either the front-end or the backend.
Keep up the good work. It’s really nice
