UPDATE!
As most of you may have figured out, I no longer support this mod. I have put the download link back up and it will stay that way for as long as it takes for someone to take this thing over. This mod is covered under the GPL so, have fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you install this Mod, you should unzip all the files in newsletter.zip to forum directory
- dbs_NewsLetter.asp
- nladmin.asp
- nldeactivate.asp
- nldelete_record.asp
- nledit_record.asp
- nlEmail_List.asp
- nlform.asp
- nlunsubconfirm.inc
- mailinglist.asp
- inc_mail_html.asp
- inc_code_html.asp
- inc_post_buttons_html.asp
- nlEmail_List_html.asp
- pop_preview_html
- 31 .gif images for font colors and other editing tools. Some of the images are from the
Post Buttons MOD, and some from another Post Button MOD.
Make sure and copy all the .gif files where you have your icons for your forums located already. This code uses all the 3.4 features and will try to locate icons in the correct directories.
Run the attached admin_mod_dbsetup.asp, select News Letter MOD from the drop down box, and press update. This will perform the database update.
include nlform.asp page in your default.asp such as:
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="nlform.asp" -->
under the
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="inc_header.asp" -->
so it looks like this:
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="inc_header.asp" -->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="nlform.asp" -->
Put a link for nladmin.asp in admin_home.asp where you can perform adminstration and send newsletter
such as:
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""nladmin.asp"">Newsletter Administration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This MOD also takes advantage of the Enhanced Formating Mod. If you are un familiar with that
MOD.... This mod will allow you to insert your forum code in your post exactly where you want
it, instead of at the end of your post.
I was going to integrate this MOD's code into the existing Forum files, pop_preview.asp,
inc_code.asp and inc_post_buttons.asp but thought it may be easier for someone to install
if it ran off it's own files, and if you want to get rid of the MOD there is not much to edit.
In the Original NewsLetter MOD if a person wanted to unsubscribe from the NewsLetter, they
would have to click on the link in the NewsLetter, it would take them to the Forum and
they would have to fill in the box to unsubscribe. What I did was made it so that when they
click on the link to unsubscribe, it will automatically unsubscribe.
Just a little about this MOD and how it works:
It may take a few tries to get use to the Post Buttons on this MOD. The way it is set up, if
you have the MODE set to BASIC, it will insert just the default code for that button.
ie: Teal Color will insert ' color=teal ', so if you have a Tag already started
like <font face-arial > you click the mouse in behind the > and it will insert color=teal
If you have the MODE set to PROMPT:
if you click on Teal Color it will Prompt you for the text to insert and put the Tag around
the text ie: <font color=teal>Text</font>
It basically works the same way as the Snitz Post Buttons but inserts HTML

I'd still like to see the ability to setup multiple newsletters for the board. Or maybe the ability for the member to customize content delivered. i.e. there might be a section or complete newsletter for each forum in which assigned authors may contribute or maybe specialized non-forum topics certain authors contribute to, but maybe the member only wants news from specific forums, people, or topics. With either of these, members would basically subscribe to each newsletter or portions of the newsletter.

New files up! I included two files that were from the old version by mistake. You couldn't see the smiles and images and they didn't insert into your forum properly.
Mark, Double posting is a bad habbit to get into. Turn off your download execlerator.
Alex,
I said before this was a re-write to make the newsletter 3.4 compliant. I won't add any new features until the next release. There are a ton of things we would all like to see but the fact is some of the options you are wanting take time to code. If a user only wants email from a certain topic then turn on subcriptions to that topic. I won't re-invent the wheel when there is a way to handle some of this through the base forum code. If these options are important to you are more than welcome to code them in.
cheers,
Wes |

Greetings, cnewman777... Two questions,
1) why "after line 67" and,
2) do you have a set of lines to support ASPMAIL, & CDONTS?
Thanks, |

I have not tried HTML newletter mail yet but here is the code from ServerHacker version I would think it would work.
case "aspemail"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
objNewMail.FromName = strFromName
objNewMail.From = strSender
objNewMail.AddReplyTo strSender
objNewMail.Host = strMailServer
objNewMail.AddAddress strRecipients, strRecipientsName
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.Body = "<HTML><BODY> " & strMessage & " </BODY></HTML>"
objNewMail.IsHTML = True
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Send
If Err <> 0 Then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your request was not sent due to the following error: " & Err.Description & "</li>"
End if
case "cdonts"
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject ("CDONTS.NewMail")
objNewMail.BodyFormat = 0
objNewMail.MailFormat = 0
objNewMail.Body=HTML
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors
objNewMail.Send strSender, strRecipients, strSubject, strMessage
If Err <> 0 Then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Your request was not sent due to the following error: " & Err.Description & "</li>"
End if
on error resume next '## Ignore Errors |

I've installed this MOD, tried it, and I like it. I can see several uses for it. The only major problem for me is that it seems (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong) that the newsletter cannot be done in pieces. There is no way to save it and add more later before it is sent out. I'd like to have 2 or 3 people work on the newsletter. It may take a couple of days or more to get together before it is sent out. I can handle giving access to people but not the savinging somewhere.
Is something like this in your next release? What have you got planned for the next release so suggestions are not duplicated?
Thanks for another great MOD.
Mike

hello everyone.
I am using the newsletter mod from serverhacker. When I send out a newsletter the background becomes a very sickly green. I would like it to use the colors of the forum.
Is there some wild reason for this or can someone tell me where I can make changes to the background color of the newletter.
NOTE: This color is only seen after the newsletter is emailed. In the newsletter admin area the color is correct.
Thanks for any help. |

Now that would be a very helpful feature.
Where are we with the next version, anyway? |

| I got it working by using Jmail Instead of CDOSYS, so I will just switch over to Jmail whenever I'm will send HTML newsletters :-) |
