Nobody have implemented a Mailing MOD??

I want to all the users to insert their Email address and save it in the CSK DB!

Thanks

The user registration records email addresses, and the CSK's news letter even provides you a way to spam them.

What exactly is it you need done differently?

You can get the email list with:

Select User_Email from Community_Users where User_CommunityID = x

An enhancement to the built in newsletter functionality would be to allow people to double opt-in, meaning just registering on the site isn't enough to start getting the newsletter. And then to replace the calls to System.Mail with either a free STMP component or a cheap one that allows logging and STMP Server authentication.

I wuold like to allow the users to receive the newsletter, without to register in the site!



Is it possibile?


Thanks

While we are on the subject, has anyone given any thought to being able to send a newsletter to only certain members of the community? Say, all members with administrator priviliages, or all moderators. I'm just beginning to set up this site now for a non-profit I belong to, and haven't had time to delve into the code yet.

My second thought is (better than first one):

You would need to add some new fields to Admin\SendNewsletter\AddNewsletter.aspx that would be either a checkbox list or more elegantly a list similar to the ones used to assign roles to a user in the edit user section and to default the choice to everyone.
Modify the EmailUtitly.SendNewsletter (since I beleive this is the only place it is used) method to accept the role type(s) and pass it to the Community_AdminSendNewsletter stored procedure. You would then modify the community_newsletters table adding a column that specifies the roles that are to receive the letter and modify Community_AdminSendNewsletter to filter its user list by the specified role(s).

If you are going to do all that work then take it to the next level which is to create newsletters using the HTML editor used for the articles and html pages, with a modifications to insert the appropriate tags to newletters to insert the content from the site...

Hmmm, I think I have a new project ;^)

I will look into this after I add reminders to my events mod...probably be a couple of weeks

The only problem with fiction is that it has to make sense...that is what makes reality so wonderful, it has no such constraint!

How Can I do this????
