Multiple Newsletters Extension

Here’s a little snippet that I’ve been adding to the custom JavaScript dialog under the extension settings screen to prevent clients from messing things up with the template that the extension parses:

document.forms['0'].message.disabled = true;

Thanks again for this great extension!

UPDATE: Scrub that, it doesn’t work since the field is then not included in the page submission… any bright ideas on how to achieve a similar result whilst still allowing the page to submit.

UPDATE: I’ve sussed it, add this to the JavaScript dialog under the extension settings screen to give your control panel users a live preview of the email they are about to send and also prevent them from fiddling with the email template code prior to sending.

$('#message').after('<iframe src ="/path_to_your_template" width="96%" height="500" style="border: 1px solid;">').hide();

@Cocoaholic: Any plans to drop a copy of this on Github? I’d like to look at tweaking it and then releasing the updates into the wild if that’s ok with you?

Go for it Nathan!

I’ll look into adding my add-ons to GitHub some day…

Thanks! 😊

I love this extension…. However, For some odd reason, it’s not working for a new website of mine. I set everything up as before… created the tab.. Have a template with data to be pulled.. but when I click on the tab, nothing appears in my subject or message area. The new site is running 1.6.7 and the older site is still on 1.6.6. Would this be an issue?

Anyone else experiencing this?

I’m running 1.6.7 and this extension works fine.

strange… I know everything is set up right.

Did you edit the extension and language files?

I did at first… then I just used the originals to see if that would work… Still nothing. I can’t seem to make it work and pull the template info into the newsletter…

I always believe that HTML mailing list is bad idea, however my clients really want it, and this extension is such a life-saver.

After Navigator module that Cocoaholic produce, this should be his other big contribution to EE community.

So Cocoaholic, if you are really into cocoa, I’ll make you nice, milky, warm one for entire week. Thank you so much.

Thank you Beeps 😊 that sounds tempting, but I’m really into a different kind of Cocoa.

Have no idea that there’s another cocoa out there, but my offer still on the table. This, by the way, include the wish list just like Nathan’s post #36 - adding the TAB under COMMUNICATE tab. No nit-picking, or ungrateful, just feeling so overwhelmed with your generousity. Cheers

I can’t seem to get the {unsubscribe_url} to work. If i enter the variable in my template it just sends it to the user, while i would like it to become the url. Any idea about this, how does this work?

Hi cocoaholic, I’ve been gearing up to use EE2 for a project, but your extension was what was holding me back since I consider it so useful to what my clients are able to do. I decided to bite the bullet though, and deployed EE2 for a recent project and wrote some custom integration in order to be able to send templates through the communicate panel.

I know the hooks aren’t available in EE2 to allow you to port your extension over to EE2 cleanly, so in the meantime I came up this.

It is a hack, since it requires modifying core files, but it achieves a very similar functionality to your extension but for EE2.
