A good newsletter mod is needed

Hi Dolphin-developers!

the Newsletter is an important marketing tool and revenue generator.

Unfortunately dolphin7.x does not have a good newsletter tool.

My question: can you develop a newsletter mod?

I am pretty sure that there will be a lot of interest from the dolphin site owners.

Regards,Sami

Have you looked at the mass mailer in the admin panel?

Just create a nice pretty email template.  Then you can create "newsletters" and send them out that way.  I think they go out like 20 at a time to keep from tripping any anti spam settings from your ISP as well.

This is a base template I created (modified for each message type that goes out), this one is for

Email template for message sending from the Admin Panel.

<table style="padding: 5px; width: 500px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#222222">

<tbody>

<!-- Image Block -->

<td width=500px style="background-color: #202020;">

<table width="500px">

<td  width="100%"  align="center" valign="middle">

<a href="<SiteUrl>"><img width="156" border="0" height="28" src="http://mytikibar.servebeer.com/media/images/small_logo.png"></a>

</td>

</table>

<!-- End Image Block -->

<td style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; padding: 5px; background-color: #808080;  height: 203px;" valign="middle">

i could develop such a module if you describe how it should work ...

thanks Steve & misterpopper!

I know that the MassMailer is there, but the Newsletter I was thinking of is more enhanced. Not only an email

For ex: It should contain ads , 2 columns, etc  similar to what you receive from LinkedIn, or any other service.

Apology for my html ignorance.

Regards.

could you please show an example?

I could guess its not so hard to "get and put" news and updates from the website, some like "drag 'n drop" interfase to set up an e-mail...

Then, send it to users that are suscribed to the website's newsletter.

Any idea? Any project? Any module?
