Images in CPGNuCalendar
In order for the images and links for CPGNuCalendar to correctly appear in the newsletter,
you may need to update these two lines in modules/CPGNuCalendar/includes/functions.inc:
Approx. Line 841: add $BASEHREF to the end of the global list
Approx. Line 860: change <img src="modules/ to <img src="$BASEHREF"."modules/
Sending only xx emails per hour
You can choose to send emails at once, or at various selectable rates per hour.
(current choices are 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500 and unlimited)
There may be a bug when using the feature to only send xx emails/hour though I haven't experienced it yet.
Don't send another newsletter before the newsletters_temp table is finished sending the first newsletter.
Auto generate newsletters
You have the option to send a newsletter every day, week, month, or quarter.
It will automatically find all the optional features since the last newsletter.
e.g. Articles, Forums, Links, Downloads, mKnow, MReview, Blogs and Pictures.
To add the ability for Auto Generated Newsletters, add this line in your root footer.php file, just below the MS Analysis line.
// Newsletters Entry
if (is_active(\'Newsletters\')) { require_once(\'modules/Newsletters/functions/npai.inc\'); }
Pending Newsletters
Newsletters can now be saved without sending them, in the newsletters_pending table, on a group basis.
They can then be restored and edited, saved again or even deleted.
For added visual enhancement, place this code at the end of your theme\'s style.css file.
Restoring NewsletterPro records to Newsletters:
Copy all .html files from /modules/NewsletterPro/archives/ to /modules/Newsletters/archives/
Then use phpmyadmin to transfer your datbase records. Operations tab Copy table to Data only
from cms_newsletter_history to cms_newsletters_history
Alternatively, Drop the newly created cms_newsletters_history table Operations tab Copy table to Structure and data
from cms_newsletter_history to cms_newsletters_history
