  In your opinion, for people who wants to source information from different modules in order to make a newsletter,

  Hi!
  Newsletter is the best solution:
  plugin (class) based, many, many options & settings, you can choose if you want to generate & send it automatically (activate maintenance-block or pnRender plugin) or send it via admin-interface, you can ad a "special" Message etc etc etc.
  
  But please use the SVN-version ATM i have to update the extdb in the next days....
  Tickets are welcomed
  greetings Dominik

  You might check out the ItsNews module by dits. I personally have not used it, but judging by other modules by dits (such as pgForm), it would have to be great. Check out the "dits" project at the Cozi.

  ItsNews is still beta. And pgForm is priority for now. We might look add joining / sharing efforts. But I'll only have time to look at this once pgForm is released.

  ok so it 's not something we can put on production.
  
  dmm , i ve look at your project, it's seems pretty simple, i only have to create a plugin for the module i wan't and do some template overriding to format my news. that's pretty cool.
  
  Nevertheless, i did'nt see a list of feature supported by your module, here are the features listed on Dits project, can you tell me if you support them?
  
  

  Quote

  * pnAPI and pnRender compliant [OK]
  * HTML and text formatted newsletters [as it's Smarty i guess you can]
  * Registration for registered users and anonymous visitors ??
  * Automatically keeps in sync with Users registration trough hooks ??
  * Newsletters generated on the basis of Smarty templates enabling drawing content from other modules (for instance list all news publications published since the last edition of the newsletter) [OK through Smarty plugin]
  * Scribite integration under Zikula 1.0.x ??? don't know what it is for
  * Automatic conversion of relative URLs to absolute URLs ??
  * Automatic conversion of HTML images to inline attachments ??

  
  
  Thanks in advance

  first i also think that we should think about synergy.. @mumuri
  yes, thats the way, make a class for your module and to the template, stuff if it´s an "official" i ask you for sharing it with the community.
  to your list
  1.)pnApi ..ok
  2.)yes
  3.)yes
  4.)yes
  5.)yes
  6.)for the custom message
  7.)yes should work IIRC
  8.)yes IIRC please test it...

  I recently installed Newsletter 2.0: is there any way to auto-add new registered users to the newsletter-user?
  I would like that every registered user recieve the newsletter,
  and that only the ones that unsubscibe it explicitly don't recieve it.
  
  Is it possible? Or have I to add manually every single new user to the list of the receiver?
  
  Maybe ItsNews does it?

  Hi!
  You can import your users via the newsletter-admin-interface.
  There will be a registration-hook where the new user is asked if he want to receive the newsleter, but ATM no automatic methode.
  I think the user should be asked if he want to receive a newsletter.
  Regards d

  i don`t know ATM how it will be but i think the best way is to ask the admin, if he wish to offer it. and if he agrees in the nl-admin interface, or during the installation of nl it will be automated added to the registration.

  Hallo, today I tryed to send my first newsletters,
  I put the check only in the "NewsletterMessage" plugin, because I would only write my own word in this newsletter.
  I added some user and sent it manually.
  
  The newsletters reached the user, but the the archive is still empty :(
  
  I looked in my database and the "pn_newsletter_archives" table is empty.
  
  Is it a bug? Ora maybe only the automatic sent are stored in the database?
