If i try send a newsletter call this url:

http://www.mysite.it/revo/core/components/ditsnews/cron/cron.php

But the page result:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getAttribute() on a non-object in /home/mhd-01/www.mysite.it/htdocs/revo/core/components/ditsnews/model/ditsnews/ditsnews.class.php on line 123

This is what I did.
I located that line in the code, then changed what's in there to

//get site_url from base tag or default MODX setting
$site_url = '';
if (is_object($dom->getElementsByTagName('base')->item(0)))
$site_url = $dom->getElementsByTagName('base')->item(0)->getAttribute('href');

if(empty($site_url))
$site_url = $this->modx->getOption('site_url');

hi , how did you replace the place holder in the message field?

from my understanding the following is supposed to do it ?

$message = $newsletter->get('message');

//get message including parsed placeholders
$chunk = $this->modx->newObject('modChunk');
$chunk->setContent($message);
$message = $chunk->process(array(
'firstname' => $subscriber->get('firstname'),
'lastname' => $subscriber->get('lastname'),
'fullname' => $subscriber->get('firstname').' '.$subscriber->get('lastname'),
'company' => $subscriber->get('company'),
'email' => $subscriber->get('email'),
'code' => $subscriber->get('code')
));

Hi!
This is a great component, but I can see the very strange behavior, that I can hardly explain
when I try to do a new Newsletter, on pop-up window I cannot see the groups' checkboxes.
It's better see on the video - http://youtu.be/-jB0xDeKYtQ
Maybe someone can help me with that?
Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to test this component on Revo 2.2.0 and I can't seem to get it to go. I've been over the settings several times and have the cron job all setup in Cpanel.

Is there any reason this shouldn't work in 2.2.0?

Thanks

EDIT: I guess this is the wrong place to address the newest versions. Will search elsewhere.
