Hi,

I need to create a newsletter subscription and I have the CJW newsletter extenssion installed.

I searched for the ducumentation but without success. The only ducumentation i have is the install.txt file that comes with the extenssion but there are some points that I don't understand.

Can anyone please give me a hand.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Romain and thanks for your answer.

I've been trying to put the newsletter to work. It's already installed and the users can subscribe to it.

But I don't know how to send the newsletters.

Hello Fatima.

In the newsletter tab you should create a cjw_newsletter_edition. Inside you can create cjw_newsletter_article. After that your newsletter become a "draft".

After click on your draft newsletter. You have two buttons one for send a test and another for send the newsletter.

Verify the settings in cjw_newsletter.ini :

[NewsletterMailSettings]
# smtp, sendmail, file
# newsletterTransportMethodCronjob=file
# test newsletter

TransportMethodPreview=sendmail
# subscribe, infomailTransportMethodDirectly=file
# where to store mails send by TransportMethod = fileFile

TransportMailDir=var/log/mail
# http://ezcomponents.org/docs/api/latest/introduction_Mail.html#mta-qmail# HeaderLineEnding#    auto - try to find correct settings#           default is LF#    CRLF - windows - \r\n#    CR   - mac - \r#    LF   - UNIX-MACOSX - \nHeaderLineEnding=auto
# Configuration for SMTP

SmtpTransportServer=

SmtpTransportPort=25

SmtpTransportUser=Smtp

TransportPassword=# Connection type in SMTP: <empty>(no encryption)|ssl|sslv2|sslv3|tls

SmtpTransportConnectionType=

You have tree methods for sending mail. mail/smtp/file

In a first time check if your newsletter test works. After you can send the real newsletter.

You sould execute two scripts for sending the newsletter :

- php runcronjobs.php -s siteaccess cjw_newsletter_mailqueue_create

- php runcronjobs.php -s siteaccess cjw_newsletter_mailqueue_process

Hi Romain.

Only now i realized that my newsletter were send out, but a specific folder var/log/mail, because my transport method was file.

Now I have the correct settings, but I can't send a test newsletter and even create a new newsletter edition in my newsletter list, because the button "create newsletter here" is disabled.

Is there any other setting I have to configure?

Thanks.

Hi Fatima

Maybe you have the good right for create a newsletter. Are you connected with the admin account ?

In the order :

Newsletter Root -> Newsletter System -> Newsletter List -> Newsletter edition -> (Newsletter Article)

Hi Romain,

My user didn't have the proper rights to create or to send the newsletter.

I tried now to check if your newsletter test works. I've inserted my e-mail as test, and the result was:

Test newsletter sent result: Newsletter Edition 1

And a table with the following details:

Nr	Subject	Email Sender Email Receiver	Content Type Charset Transport
1.	[Newsletter] Newsletter Edition 1	sender_mail@example.com receiver_mail@example.com	multipart/alternative utf-8 smtp

But I didn't receive any e-mail.

I tried runing the cronjob:

/usr/bin/php -C runcronjobs.php cjw_newsletter

and cleared the cache. But nothing.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Hi Fatima

Several things :

- You use the smtp method are you sure your smtp works ?

- Try to use the send mail method in cjw_newsletter.ini

# test newsletter

TransportMethodPreview=sendmail

- The test and the real newsletter are independent.

- check in the log var/plain_site/cjw_newsletter if you can see anything

Hi,

Finally, the newsletter is working. The log file had some errors.

Thank's a lot for your great help.

Fatima.
