Creating an ez newsletter

Thursday 23 November 2006 2:06:39 am

I really don't understand how I create a newsletter to be sent.

I have enabled the extension and have 3 new tabs. Newsletter, List manager, Bounce manager.

I have successfully run the cron which sends the newsletters (although there is nothing yet to send).

I've created a newsletter class (Date, Title, Body).

I've created a test list in the list manager and added a couple of subscribers.

I've created a newsletter type (test) with the valid content class (newsletter), subscription list (test list)

I've selected an inbox (what does that do) and a location for the placement of the newsletters.

I've then create a newsletter (from my class) and placed in the newsletter folder.

Run the cron job and this is my output.

Using siteaccess admin for cronjob
Running cronjob part 'send_newsletter'
Running extension/ezxnewsletter/cronjobs/send_newsletter.php
Building send list ...
Building sending emails ...

I believe that this means that it is not finding my newsletter to try and send it.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Update on this one.

I've managed to get it to give me an error

Any ideas on this?

And the error implies that there is still something bogus in your webserver setup.

I've tried setting the transport to both SMTP and sendmail and both generate the same debug error.

Any idea what HTTP_HOST does not exist means?
