Newsletter

Hi, thank you for reporting this. The issue is fixed in the latest version 1.3.3
Kind regards,
David

The plugin is not working for me with PostgreSQL (9.3+) as the moodle database engine.

Hi,
ok, I understand and that's fine! I just wanted to delete some test newsletter issues, deleting the whole instance is fine for me as well!
Kind regards,
Georg

Hi,
it is possible, when you did not yet send it. And you can delete the whole newsletter instance. After a successful delivery of the newsletter it is not possible to delete it. Maybe we might allow this in the future. But in our usecase, a sent newsletter should always be available online.
Kind regards,
David

Hi David,
is it somehow possible to delete a newsletter issue?
Kind regards,

Hi David,
thanks for your hint! There was a typo in the smtp server settings, now it works like a charm!
Best regards,
Georg

Hi Georg,
did you configure an smtp server? This is necessary in order to make it work
Kind regards,
David

Hi David,
I'm not receiving newsletters by email! Plugin is installed properly in its latest version, Moodle up to date (3.1.2+). Do I have to set up the bounce handling to get this working? Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
George

Sending of email instabile (see message 27 aug) solved by upgrading moodle to the newest version.

David,
Thanks for your quick answer for the translation of the email text with the link you shared.
I already did that, but the mail the subscriber receives on account opening keep having the subject "Welcome" and the sender "newsletter".
A piece of the source of the email:
Subject: Welcome
X-PHP-Originating-Script: 519:class.phpmailer.php
Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2016 17:05:30 +0200
From: newsletter
So: what's generating the header and sender in the mail. Pretty important, because that's the first thing the receiver see.
Could you help me out?
Kind regards
Bert

Dvid,
The sending of email (via php) is instabile at my site. Sometimes it pops up in the cron and sometimes not. Which planned moodle task is executing the sending?

@Bert van der Hooft: You can change this via customising your language: https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Language_customization#Use_filter_to_find_the_strings_you_want_to_customize

David,
Compliments! This is really what we need. Among others: personalised messaging!
A small question: the subscriber receives a confirmation mail from: newsletter This with the text "Welcome"
I want to change both: how to do this? I cannot find anything in the settings or the language strings which drives this.
Bert

Hi David,
Yes its now perfectly working. Thanks a lot!

Hi Hamed,
I just uploaded a new version of the module, which will fix this issue. Also a long desired feature is now available: Personalising the newsletter. Look in the description of the module for details about this new feature.
Kind regards,
