It's one of the lesser known improvements in 2.0 was the addition of it. There were a couple of mods that added a sort of scheduling system however those have a tendency to overlap and not be as reliable as SMF 2.0's.

Okay, I see it depens on functions only available in 2.0. Thanks so though guys!

is there a way to change the style of the newsletter page?

HoverClub

Not currently, but the next release will allow the CSS style block to be edited in the SMF language editor.

Help...tried to install and got this...now lost forum completely

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare scheduled_newsltr() (previously declared in /home/content/c/r/u/crustya/html/theforum/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php:1871) in /home/content/c/r/u/crustya/html/theforum/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php on line 1976

HoverClub

Looks like you've installed the mod twice (or over an old version installation)?  If you can't access the forum then you should edit the /home/content/c/r/u/crustya/html/theforum/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php and remove the duplicate function scheduled_newsltr()

OR

... using an FTP client or your web host control panel's file manager) :

1. make a duplicate of file /home/content/c/r/u/crustya/html/theforum/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php (call it whatever you like)

2. delete the file: /home/content/c/r/u/crustya/html/theforum/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php

3. rename the file /home/content/c/r/u/crustya/html/theforum/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php~ (NOTE the tilde char at the end!)
as
ScheduledTasks.php (NO tilde)

4. then remove the newsltr mod manually by editing the files (see mod download page).

Many thanks, tried 3 times now to install this excellent mod but its not having it :( each time its messed up, have restored the forum now but its left the actual "subscribe" tab at the top which wont work obviously because i have removed the mod O:) ...how can i remove it? (i have this working perfectly on another site BTW

HoverClub

See the mod page and clicke the parse button (manual install instructions) and remove all the stuff listed that was added by the mod in the various files.

AS I said, it looks like it's installing over a previous unsuccessful install which has left various parts of the mod.  If you remove the bits above then it will work OK


Sulfur

hi mate, where do I change the CSS? i already installed the new version but theres nothing on my Themes/default/languages folder...

HoverClub

Admin->Configuration->Lanuguages->Edit Languages->English->edit Languages Entries -> select "Modifications"
... and find the string newsltr_email_style

Sulfur

You already have the forum logo at the top (the newsletter will include the current them logo if one is specified - otherwise it uses the forum name)?

Sulfur

hmmm so when it send the newsletter it will have the logo? or it will be send just like in the preview?

my forum have a logo but somehow it didn't showed in the first newsletter

HoverClub

 Your screen dump shows a logo top left?  Check Current Theme->Theme Options and Settings->Logo image URL

Sulfur

my theme don´t have logo, only manual... when I change to the old theme (smf theme) the logo appears in the newsletter but when I change back to my theme the logo disappear...

well I guess i can't have all but this mod is really awsome, good job with this

Sorry - not a lot I can do about it I'm afraid - your site hasn't got a standard SMF forum display.

Double compression probably.
Admin->Configuration->Server Settings->General and clear enable compressed output option should do the trick.

This continue being that way? we have to put the global forum compression off, to have the newsletter one working?
I mean, there is no workaround? it is nice to have compression on the forum and not just on newsletters, lol
No me agradan los foros que no te dejan borrar TU PROPIO usuario, como por ejemplo smfsimple.com.
E incluso te mandan emails no solicitados, de los cuales, quizá, no puedas escapar porque NO te dejan posibilidad a deshabilitarlos (a menos que NO te tengan en su lista negra).
