Newsletter

The Newsletter plugin allows you send newsletter emails to subscribers.

Newsletter can be send to all recipients or defined recipient groups.

The dispatching of the newsletter can be triggered by a cronjob.

 

Settings

Area/TypeNameDescriptionDefaultScope
newsletterdisable-rn-replacement(true, false): If true, "\r\n" will not be replaced by just "\n" to prevent double lines in mails. This may be a good idea on Windows-Servers. Usually, use the default setting.falseS
newsletterhtml_username
html_password
If the frontend (the website) is proteced using .htaccess (username/password), you have to specify html_username and html_password to be able to send html newsletters (as html newsletters are just usual articles).n/aC

newsletteroption-cronjob-available(true, false): If true, then a newsletter option can be activated to send the newsletter using cron jobs. Note, that this option should only be used, if a real cron service is available (do not use the Contenido built-in pseudo cron service). Additionally, note, that there is a send job file available in the contenido/cronjobs folder, but it hasn't been added to the cron job list - just generate a real cron job on your server running this file.falseSCGU

newsletterremove_base_tag(true, false): Usually every article contains a "e;base href"e; tag. This is nice, as all links, URLs and sources can be relative and we can move the client around, as we like.
But there is a problem with anchors: They only work, if the link to the anchor (on the same page) contains the URL of the current article (e.g. "front_content.php?idart=77#MyAnchor"). This works fine, if you are on the website, but not, if you use anchors in html newsletter articles (as the mail doesn't has this URL).
If you like to use anchors in html newsletters, set this setting to "true" and check everything twice, as also all URLs and source path will be changed by Contenido code.
