Massmail plugin info

[datiswous]

Oleg posted in the Mld Newsletter plugin topic about a mailing plugin that is not listed in Extend:
http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread...1#pid52331

I checked it out and it seams to work, although it's pretty basic.

The en_US.php language file is overwritten with Russion language for some reason, so I translated it back to English. Since the plugin isn't in extend, I just post the translation here:

PHP Code:

<?php

*****************************************************/

$i18n['MM_SUBSCRIBE'] = 'Subscribe';
$i18n['MM_PLACEHOLDER'] = 'Enter your email address';
$i18n['MM_SENDMAILTOALL'] = 'Send to all subscribers';
$i18n['MM_SENDMAIL'] = 'Email text';
$i18n['MM_NEWSLETTERFROM'] = 'Newsletter from ';
$i18n['MM_OF'] = 'of';
$i18n['MM_MAILWASSENTTO'] = 'Email was send to subscribers ';
$i18n['MM_SUBSCRIBERS'] = 'Subscribers';
$i18n['MM_DATE'] = 'Date';
$i18n['MM_EMAIL'] = 'Email address';
$i18n['MM_COMMASEPARATED'] = 'Recipients';
$i18n['MM_NOREGSUBSCRIBERS'] = 'No registered subscribers';
$i18n['MM_EMAILWRONGFORMAT'] = 'Incorrect e-mail address';
$i18n['MM_EMAILALLREADYREG'] = 'E-mail is already registered';
$i18n['MM_YOUARENOWSUBSCRIBER'] = 'You are now a subscriber';
$i18n['MM_EMAILSTATUS'] = 'E-mail status';
$i18n['MM_SUBJECT'] = 'Subject';
$i18n['MM_SUBJECTANDMESSAGE'] = 'You must specify both subject and message'; 


Also in file gs_massmail.php the following line (line 48) should be changed:

PHP Code:

<p><input type="submit" class="button" value="Подписаться" id="add-receiver" name="add-receiver" /></p> 


into:

PHP Code:

<p><input type="submit" class="button" value="<?php echo $i18n['MM_SUBSCRIBE']?>" id="add-receiver" name="add-receiver" /></p> 


And to make the (CK)editor turn up in English, change (line 71):

PHP Code:

if (defined('GSEDITORLANG')) { $EDLANG = GSEDITORLANG; } else { $EDLANG = 'ru'; } 


into:

PHP Code:

if (defined('GSEDITORLANG')) { $EDLANG = GSEDITORLANG; } else { $EDLANG = 'en'; } 


Optionally you can add file browser support (so you can browse to files inside the GS file browser and add them):

Change (line 99):

PHP Code:

[
        <?php echo $toolbar; ?>
 ] 


Into:

PHP Code:

[
        <?php echo $toolbar; ?>
 ]
 <?php echo $EDOPTIONS; ?>,
 filebrowserBrowseUrl : 'filebrowser.php?type=all',
 filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : 'filebrowser.php?type=images' 


(keep everything under it in tact)

I think the email shows the images on the webpage instead of adding them as files to the email (and creating false website traffic), so that might or might not what you want.


To make the plugin work properly, you first have to create a form on a page via code:

PHP Code:

<?php if (function_exists('get_mass_mail_form')) { get_mass_mail_form();} ?>

(directly in a template or putting it in a component and then put the component in a page with Dynpages plugin).
after filling in the first email address in that form you see in the admin interface (Plugins -> Mass mailing) an editor window to write an email.

Alternatively you could go to GS folder /data/other, create file massmail.xml and put in it:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<item><entry><date></date><email>some-email-address</email></entry></item>

(this is also the only place where you can remove email adresses)
