Newsletter

Hi David,
when I want to edit a Newsletter in a course, I get a white page, and in debugging, I see this error:
Fatal error: Class 'mod_newsletter' not found in /home2/learn/domains/mysite.com/public_html/mod/newsletter/lib.php on line 776
Any opinion will be appreciated.

@Georg: We did solve those problems. Cronjob should now run smoothly.

Hi David, does this plugin basically work with Moodle 3.1.1? I tried it a couple of days ago but had to uninstall the plugin as it stopped the cron entirely.

Hi Bobby,
nevermind. We will try to reproduce the problem on Moodle 3.0. If you have any information (Develop debug mode in Moodle), than you can always paste it here.
Kind regards,
David

Hi David.
The Moodle version is 3.0.2+ (Build: 20160211) I had it running on a test course to see how it worked and if it would be useful to our organisation.
I wasn't given the specific error message by our hosting firm. Only the information that it was the problem when our forum messaging stopped working.
Where would I look for this error message to pass onto you?
Regards
bobby

Hi Bobby,
which Moodle version do you use? Could you give some details about the error messages so that we can fix the problem. Thank you.
Kind regards,
David

Unfortunately I've had to uninstall it.
It stopped our entire Moodle from sending messages via the forum, and for some reason also stopped the CRON from running.
Hopefully whatever issues with get sorted as it looks like it might be a useful feature at some point

I think this is an OS issue. I have the same version of Moodle on an Ubuntu 14.04 VM and the newsletter module works fine. On my Centos 7 VM (same machine, moodle version, newsletter version) it just does not send (all other email functions work fine). I am forced to use Centos because the production system must be hosted on a Centos system. I've configured and successfully tested bounce handling, ran the cron debug, which shows no errors so I am really scratching my head over this one. It just will not send out the newsletter. Any tips or ideas deeply appreciated!

I am running Moodle 2.9.5+ (Build: 20160407) on a Centos 7 OS -- I cannot get the newsletter to actually send. It indicates that it was sent (no errors) but it does not actually send the newsletter. All other email related functions (forums, email test, quickmail plugin) are operating normally. The system is not sending any errors that I can detect to indicate why it is failing to send. Any tips for troubleshooting are appreciated!
thanks....

Hi Saranya, you have to enable guest subscription in /admin/settings.php?section=modsettingnewsletter (Site administration block) in order to use guest subscription.

Hi,
I have installed the plugin in moodle 3.0.2. It works fine. Could anyone tell how a not registered users subscribe to the newsletter? I have seen this feature is available.

Hello,
I have installed the plugin in, using moodle 2.8. I can see the settings under admin/plugins/activity-modules.
I can edit the settings - thats all. I do not see a menu entry for creating an issue.

Hi Michelle. The newsletter is an activity. You can add it the same way you add any other activity like an assignment, etc.

I installed everything. Now I have setup the configuration. Whats next? Where can I find the "button" to create a new Newsletter? When I go to www.mydomain.com/mod/newsletter there comes only a message "content goes here"
how can i write a newsletter now? thank you

@Andreas: Yes there will be a new version also available for M3.0 in approximately 3 weeks.
