Maxime Thomas	Wednesday 21 November 2007 6:42:11 am Hi, Some remarks about the eZNewsletter I have to install for a client: - you cannot install it on a working site. So you have to put it on a new eZ publish instance. - the setup cannot access the package repository, so you have to download it one by one and thus upload it on your website one by one, waiting for 5 minutes each time. - once installed, there's one tab missing "Newsletter setup", so I can't use it. - in addidtion, the documentation is not updated and you still have version 1.5.1 in the documentation for 1.5.2. So I'm wondering if a lot of clients are using this extension...

It can of course be loaded automatically. But for that you have to change the package URL [1]. This was described in the release document. - once installed, there's one tab missing "Newsletter setup", so I can't use it. You have to use the newsletter_editor interface. It is not activated in the standard admin siteaccess. - in addidtion, the documentation is not updated and you still have version 1.5.1 in the documentation for 1.5.2. There is an updated document. I dont know why its not published. But it had only a minor enhancement. So its not critical I think. I am sure eZ will soon publish the actual one. [1] http://packages.ez.no/eznewsletter/1.5/1.5.3/

Hi,

So I'm wondering if a lot of clients are using this extension...

Hi Maxime

the setup cannot access the package repository, so you have to download it one by one and thus upload it on your website one by one, waiting for 5 minutes each time.

It can of course be loaded automatically. But for that you have to change the package URL [1]. This was described in the release document.

- once installed, there's one tab missing "Newsletter setup", so I can't use it.

You have to use the newsletter_editor interface. It is not activated in the standard admin siteaccess.

- in addidtion, the documentation is not updated and you still have version 1.5.1 in the documentation for 1.5.2.

There is an updated document. I dont know why its not published. But it had only a minor enhancement. So its not critical I think. I am sure eZ will soon publish the actual one.
