Can admin choose newsletter recipients?

posts: 104 France

I have just started up my site, I have a few users that have registered, but I realise that they are having great difficulty in working out how to use the forums (they are not very computer literate).

I would like - as admin - to send a newsletter to all the people who are registered on the site: is there some way to do this? My impression from the doc is that each user has to subscribe to newsletters - which of course they can't do because a) it doesn't exist yet and b) they wouldn't know how to use it!

I think I've found out how to do this... but can somebody confirm that if I choose "0 days" as frequency, then it will only be sent out when I request it as admin?

Many thanks as always wink

1) Create a newsleter (in the menu : newsletter/admin newsletter)
2) add all the users to this newsletter (in the menu: newsletter/admin newsletter/subscription/ add all users

Frequency: Newsletter frequency? I don't know

afaik, frequency is only a visible marker to show the "noise" that mailing list would generate in your inbox.

What version of Tiki are you using? I don't see a "frequency" setting in my 1.8.3 or 1.9rc2 installations.

I am using version 1.7.7 (still waiting for 1.9 to come out in order to resolve the bug displaying non-USASCII characters in categories!).

If you go to tiki-admin_newsletters.php, then there is drop-down box called "frequencies" with possible values from "0 days" to "89 days". Be glad to know what this means before I do something horrible.... sad
