[nodebb-plugin-newsletter] Send e-mail newsletters to your users.

yariplus

@zack I haven't been able to figure out exactly what the problem is with the commit your using, but I think it has something to do with templates.js

A fresh install with your commit 518aec6e76180078269bb17ffb56af880d58f9bd gives me an invalid templates.js,

├── [email protected] invalid

and I get this on every page, without any plugins installed:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

the offending code:

app.user = JSON.parse('&#123;"username":"yariplus","userslug":"yariplus","email":"[email protected]","picture":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f206761be43ad77375e6c30dfbffe3bb?size=128&default=identicon&rating=pg","email:confirmed":false,"uid":"1"&#125;');

and none of the pages load correctly after that.

If you want to stay at the commit you are on, installing an older version fixed it for me.

npm install [email protected]

Maybe @psychobunny has some insight on the problem?

Yeah tjs 0.2x now escapes code by default, so you need to have latest themes installed (or if you have a custom theme, use double curly brackets to include scripts)

Otherwise 0.1x should be okay until NodeBB 0.7x

I am having trouble accessing the newsletter plugin page.
I installed the plugin from ACP, reloaded and restarted the forum.
Logged out and back in
It says plugin-newsletter installed and active but I cannot access the plugin page where I can send the emails.

Same topic different question:
How could I send out newsletters there the content is the top posts. Is there a plugin which does it automatically for example every week send out top posts to all users?

Thanks

yariplus

Thanks, I'm in the process of updating all my plugins, this one will be coming soon.

Could you post any errors that show in the logs? (advanced=>logs)

I think that functionality could be added to the existing digest. I'll take a look at it once I get this plugin patched.

Not having any errors on latest NodeBB.

If you're still having issues, can you post what version of NodeBB and whichever composer you're using?

yariplus

Can I get some people to try this out on 0.9.3 stable?

I've had a few people tell me it isn't working, but I can't reproduce the problem and I'm not getting any errors on any of my installs.

The problem seems to be the client script isn't loading on the admin page.

That would only occur on master (as of the writing of this post), as it is a v1.0.0 breaking change. v0.9.3 should be fine.

Fixed here yariplus/nodebb-plugin-newsletter#4

yariplus

@julian Thanks.

I was aware of the breaking change for v1.0.0, but I'm concerned about the v0.9.x tagged branch.

No one has reported console errors, but for some people the script just doesn't load. Any idea?

@yariplus I installed this on my v0.9.3. No errors during the installation and it seems to work fine. I sent an email "newsletter" to my administrators group. I have the nodebb-plugin-emailer-local-bobo plugin installed.

yariplus

@rod Awesome! Thank you much.

@yariplus Hi thanks for this plugin! I am having an issue with only sending broken images when I upload something. Can you advise me on how to fix? Thanks

@MassivelyIndie what do you have for url in config.json?

Yes sorry was just in a rush and wasn't sure if @yariplus would answer back so I created a new post in case another community member knew. They did reply, but still looking for a fix.

Could it be a problem with the Imgbed plugin?

To be honest I'm not sure how to answer your question @pichalite as I'm not familiar with the config.json lol Can you advise me on how to find it your answer?

Thanks

pichalite asked for config.json file generated during NodeBB initial setup. IP/domain and port.

If you have an error in config.json file it'll break images.

@nhl-pl Thanks for the response. I'll get our admin to look into it as I don't want to break anything lol.

Has anyone tested this on master lately? Emails aren't rendering a preview or sending from my test forum.
