Newsletter System

Append the port number to the SMTP HOST name, for example: something.com:1234

Go to your downloads page and click download next to the newsletter system.

Check with your hosting provider, some providers like Godaddy have special SMTP setting to use for these programs. Alternatively change MAIL _SMTP from true to false in the config file.

After you download this system, enter your gmail account details into the SMTP options. These are:

SMTP Outgoing Server: ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 SMTP Username: your_email@gmail.com SMTP Password: your_gmail_password

This really depends on your hosting account. If you are running on a cheap shared hosting account and you try to send out 100k bulk emails then your account will probably be suspended. If you have 100k legitimate subscribers then you should have enough ca

This system is provided as-is with no support. It works and it works well. However – I do provide free support when possible, if you have a question please leave a comment or send me a message via my CodeCanyon profile page. If you are nice and don’t mind

• To create an unsubscribe link, use this code:
  Unsubscribe
  * To create a view online link, use this code:
  View newsletter online
  * To insert the email subject automatically somewhere in the template, use this code: {EMAIL_SUBJECT}
  * To insert the date the email was sent, use this code: {SENT_DATE}
  * To insert the email address of the receiver, use this code: {TO_EMAIL}
  * To insert the email address of the sending, use this code: {FROM_EMAIL}
  * You can use the above to make a nice footer like so:
  
  

  This email was sent from {FROM_EMAIL} to {TO_EMAIL} on {SENT_DATE} | Unsubscribe

The SMTP section should look like this in your config file:

define(“_MAIL_SMTP”,true);
define(“_MAIL_SMTP_HOST”,”relay-hosting.secureserver.net”);
define(“_MAIL_SMTP_AUTH”,false);
define(“_MAIL_SMTP_USER”,”nothing”);
define(“_MAIL_SMTP_PASS”,”nothing”); 

When people sign up via your public subscribe form, double opt in will send them a confirmation email to confirm their account. Stops spammers sign up and complies with some spam rules. Test it out yourself

Look about line 174 in create.php for this code:

$newsletter_name = date('F') . ' Newsletter';

It uses PHP ’s date function to generate the current month in Engligh. The easiest way to get a translation would be to change the above code to something like this:

$mois["January"] = "Janvier";
$mois["Febrary"] = "Février";
$mois["March"] = "Mars";
$mois["April"] = "Avril";
$mois["May"] = "Mai";
$mois["June"] = "Juin";
$mois["July"] = "Juillet";
$mois["August"] = "Août";
$mois["September"] = "Septembre";
$mois["October"] = "Octobre";
$mois["November"] = "Novembre";
$mois["December"] = "Décembre";
$newsletter_name = $mois[date('F')] . ' Newsletter';

of course change the translations to the language of your choice.

that should do the trick.

The script will currently only send one newsletter per member. If you want to send two automatic campaign newsletters per member per day, just setup the cron job to run twice.

ie: put a second identical cron job into your cpanel to run half an hour after the current one.

This will allow you to send two or more emails on the same X days after signup to a campaign.

On line 71 of ext.php change this code:

if(!$fields['first_name'] || !$fields['email']){

to this code:

if(!$fields['email']){
