Using revo 2.3.3
I am looking at Eletters to provide for regular mailouts of newsletters. It requires cron manager which I don't seem to be able to find in Extras, even though it appears in the docs .
Can anyone advise as to whether Eletters is the best solution for this purpose and where cronmanager is located?
CronManager is only listed as supporting up to MODX 2.2.x. That's why it doesn't show up when you look in the 2.3 Package Manager. That doesn't necessarily mean that it wouldn't work in 2.3 -- my guess is that it would work fine. You can download it from the link below, put it in your core/packages directory, and do "Search Locally for Packages" in Package Manager to try it out. You can also create your own cron job in cPanel. The user interface for that has improved quite a bit.

Another option is EmailResource, though it's fairly old and the user interface is a little odd. I think it will work in 2.3, but I'm not sure. I've been meaning to re-write it to work like Notify, but never seem to have the time.
Thanks Bob - found that. I will have a look at EmailResource as well.
I have checked EmailResource but it doesn't allow the import of email list details using a CSV list which I require.
When I install both Cronmanager and Eletters they appear to install OK and appear in the menu, but when I use the menu to activate them both return a blank screen. Menu, resources and elements list are OK but nothing else. Any thoughts on where I should look?
I think this would import your users. For EmailResource, they just need to be in a user group.

Thanks Bob - I'll have a look at it
