    Hello,

    I have been encountering issues when trying to change the settings in the Components menu (adding Newsletters, groups, etc). Whenever I try to add something, it either says it saves it, but doesn’t appear on the list (in the case of adding groups), or gives "Error while saving" (in the case of the Settings).

    In addition, when trying to add a Newsletter, the dropdown menu where the templates are supposed to be to choose from (I assume) shows up as empty.

    Versions:
    Revo 2.1.0-rc1 (advanced) <- I’m thinking it may be a compatibility issue with this, but I want to make sure, and if it is, would anyone be able to help update it?
    DitsNews 0.1.0-alpha2

    Thank you in advance.

      I am really looking forward to having fully functional newsletter in Modx. Unfortunatelly, same as poster above I am not able to save any changes (settings, adding users/groups, etc). I am just presented with a message ’Error while saving’.

      EDIT: my log shows:
      [2011-04-08 11:38:24] (ERROR @ /assets/components/ditsnews/connector.php) Error 42S02 executing statement: 
Array
(
    [0] => 42S02
    [1] => 1146
    [2] => Table 'mysitedb.modx_ditsnews_groups' doesn't exist
)

      So seems like tables were not created properly. Anyone has MySQL script to create them manually?

        The ditsnews snippet needs to make sure to be creating the tables on install...

        For a temp fix, you can do this in a snippet:
        $modelPath = $modx->getOption('core_path').'components/ditsnews/model/';
$modx->addPackage('ditsnews',$modelPath);
$manager = $modx->getManager();
$manager->createObjectContainer('dnNewsletter');
$manager->createObjectContainer('dnSettings');
$manager->createObjectContainer('dnSubscriber');
$manager->createObjectContainer('dnGroup');
$manager->createObjectContainer('dnGroupSubscribers');
$manager->createObjectContainer('dnQueue');


        It really should be doing this in an install resolver, though.

          I am having the same issue as some earlier with the newletter component appearing blank.

          I have upgrade from 2.0.7 to 2.0.8 traditional and that hasn’t resolved the problem,

          I have also tried a fresh install straight to 2.0.8 and that doesn’t work either.

          if I view the manager with IE I get a JS error that reports that

            I updated modx up to 2.1.1 and ditsnews stopped working.
            I can’t add or remove records for groups, subscribers or newsletter. When I try to edit them, I see only empty fields in pop up box.
            Also I can’t edit ditsnews setting.
            I think a problem with a access to tables. Help pls.
            I use modx 2.1.1, LAMP. and try to check with all browsers(ff, chrome, ie etc.).
            P.S. When I click to a button Export CSV, I receive following message:
            {"success":false,"message":"Access denied.","total":0,"data":[],"object":[]}

              Get a blank component page after upgrading from alpha2 to alpha3.
              After that I downgraded to alpha2 - same problem.
              Uninstalled ditsnews completly and reinstalled it - same problem.

                I need someone to make a script where subscribers get a birthday mailing.
                Can Ditsnews be used for this?

                It needs to automaticly send a page/mailing (make myself) about 1 week before it’s birthday.
                (In that mailing there will be their name and bday date which they can print to be able to get their present)
                When people subscribe on the website there needs to be a bday field offcourse saved into the db.

                PM me a price it will cost to let u make this. smiley

                  Testing DitsNews signup page:

                  - the email gets registered, but the confirmation message does not get sent, the 'active' checkbox is thus not selected, I am assuming it would get updated when the user clicks on the confirmation link in the mail verification..

                  no error messages in the system logs


                  Aside from the above user management issues the delivery of the email newsletter to active subscribers of a group is working fine.

                    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

                      since more than two weeks i try to setup ditsnews now. everything seems to be fine. just the backend is quite awful.

                      i am using revo 2.2.2 and the components -> ditsnews newsletter administration is making a lot of trouble. i am setup a public group and i added 4 users to there. here a list of problems which i am experience:


                      • there seems to be a problem with the cache. if i remove a subscriber. the subscriber is removed from the db, though. but it is still shown in list.

                      • when i want to assign the newsletter. I do not have any change to select a certain group. It is just no checkbox there where i would guess it. I just have an empty fieldset there.
                        ~ well, i figured out that i have to maximize the dialogue window then the group is chown and i can check it. also when i minimize again it stays.

                      • It would be nice when i could choose the resource instead typing the id for it to there.

                      • When i want to edit a user than i need to fill the surename and forename fields. normally i do not know this of the newsletter registered users. but it is well possible that i need to switch the group of them.

                      Okay, ditsnews is marked as alpha and that is it of course, still. But it seems to be not runing in the actuall version of revo.

                      or what do i do wrong?
