I’m trying to add the Newsletter document with the newsletter template that I just created in the Newsletter module under "new Newsletter" but that resource list isn’t working. The dropdown is not working and when I type the name or the id, no document is found.

Tested on a wamp environment, on a live apache environement both in Firefox and IE.
I’m using the latest release of Modx (2.0.6-pl2)

Will look into this further tomorrow.. Anyone else ran into this behavior?

Has anyone been able to send out anything yet?

Hi!

This is really awesome!! I’m really really happy to see this.
Bookmarked and gona be tested very soon!

Possible to don’t mail double emailadresses?
Automaticly change first letter of the name like Dear [[+name]] Dear jessica, --> Dear Jessica, ?

Dunno if i need to make a new topic for this?

Just installed it on a fresh REVO 2.0.6-pl2 traditional,
Installing went ok, making a new group isn’t possible, it doesn’t save it.
Also doesn’t save settings. Nothing is being saved.

#edit On the other hand i have not done all install things, only the first 3, i’ll check it out tomorrow.

#edit2 After complete the install points it’s being saved afterall.

I installed Ditsnews on my Wamp to see how it goes but when I hit an option in the newsletter module I get redirected to my Wamp root with some Ditsnews paramaters behind that. Something wrong there ;-)

It’s awfully quiet from the side of the developers...

I succesfully installed Ditsnews on my local wampserver with REVO 2.0.6-pl2 traditional.

Some issues:
* Same issue as onepack, links in the ditsnews manager redirect to the wamp root, but if I add my modx folder between localhost/ and the other parameters (localhost/mymodxfolder/restofparameters) it works fine.

Some ideas:
* Date & time of subscription

Hi KM88,

I would like to know if and how you have been able to successfully send a newsletter.
Did you give the newsletter page a specific name? Did you give the Template a specific name and is the dropdown working to select the newsletter to send out?

Next to that I have the concern that when you adjust the Ditsnews chunks your changes will get lost upon an module update.
I created some custom made chunks but haven’t been able to get those to work yet.

Regards,
