Support/Comments for KoopsMailinglistX

Sounds good. I’ll have to install it and play with it a bit, then I’ll add the SMTP option to it.

Hello.

I cannot make SMTP mailing to work. I tried doing what is this post on v1.6: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,6450.msg87717.html#msg87717

When I subscribe to the mailing list the message says I will get a confirmation mail but it never comes through.

In the manager I add an e-mail to the koopsmailinglistx module and try to send a newsletter. Then it says "The mail has been sent." but no e-mail never comes through.

Please help.

Best regards

EDIT:

I could not wait for a re-write of this contribution so I made my own: http://www.modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=17281

Easy Newsletter is heavily inspired by KoopsmailinglistX so a bow in respect and appreciation to the original author Jasper Koops and [email protected] who ported it to MODx.

Is it me, or does Koops just not work at the sending of emails?

1. You have to change the SMTP code in functions.php and admin.php, the config.php has a reference to "mail server", but its never used. Why was this never fixed?

2. If the SMTP fails, it never brings up any messages or alerts and logs don’t seem to pick it up.

Probably depends on your server configuration. It works fine for me, and I know it’s working for a couple of other sites I’ve installed it on.

Actually, I think that there are a couple of newer mailing list snippets/modules that you might want to look at.

How do you run the module?

Click on the little blue icon to the left of the module name and select "Run Module"; or else refresh the top menu.

can you use templates for your emails?

nope no template options for this version

I am working on a rewrite (80-90% rewrite) version that is completely connected to the web user system in modx and that allow you to send modx documents instead of the editor. I will post it on the forums soon for testing.

ok its bin a while but here is my status on this:

We are in the final phase in the developing state
We build it that it uses webusergroups you can even have unlimited numbers of mailinglist
you can add new mailing groups in the module. it will be an webgroup so you can also add the same users to the download group or watever webgroup or multiple mailinglists.

it now uses normal documents instead of the WYSIWYG editor.
you can send a test mail to any adres.
yo can select to what mailing list you want to send the mail.
flood protection is build in it uses swiftmailer (exellend class)
you can see all users or user per group and also user that are not yet activated.

It now uses the latest swiftmailer class. (php5 only for now).
all the code is redone all queries are now native modx->db queries updates selects etc.
lot of code cleanup. and more.

it uses the double-opt system
Each register / deactivate email can be made using a chunk and placeholders.
there can be a differnd chunk for each mailinglist.
there is also an aditional plugin that lets you send a mail to a selected group when a page is updated. (controlled by a selectbox tv, when selected the mail is send saying that the page is updated.)

soon I will release it in the test forums than the real testing can begin.

a pre version wil be posted this week I think maybe next week when we encounter problems.
