          It means that your server is configured so that you can’t get the contents from another web page using a php script. The newsletter script gets the contents of the document you tell it to, but your server won’t let it.

            But the newsletter get the content from a document with the ID 4 or ID 6 from the modx.

            Newsletter Document ID 3
            - Newsletter 01 ID 4
            - Newsletter 02 ID 6

            I don’t understand what i can, or what i must do it that the newsletter works...

            I’m more the designer, not the coder... wink

              Right. The content of the newsletter is collected from a URL to document # whatever. As long as your server has URL access disabled it won’t work. http://il.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php

                I have found a solution:

                txnewsletters.inc.php line 1479 from:

                 $html = file_get_contents($url)


                to:

                 $ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);


                Thats works fine.
