PHP-Fusion: Infusion "Autonews"
This infusion provides a tool to send automatically mails to subscribing users
containing information about changes on your site. Once setup no admin intervention at all is required.
In the admin setup you decide how frequent the mail should be (ie daily or weekly), and you specify which parts of your site to include. Nearly all parts of phpfusion are covered (news, articles, photoalbums, photos, forum threads, forum posts, downloads, weblinks, comments, new users, shoutbox).
Your users are subscribing to the mail by checking the autonews user field in their profile (the user field is a part of this infusion). If they don't like your mails, the mail contains an unsubscribe link or they may uncheck the field.
Mails are send automatically, and you do not need to set up a cronjob or similar
service. Admins can monitor the status (number of subscribers, time for last mail
sending, etc.) in a side panel.
Admin settings are provided to avoid overloading of your site or your mailserver.
You can specify a chunk size so that mail sending do not get too large and you can
specify a waiting time between two mail sendings.
The send mails contain links directly to the relevant news. You can give your mails a personal touch by adding graphics to it. Obviously the language of your mails obey the language of your site (provided that a locale file for your language is available).
The infusion has been tested on php-fusion.dk, and if you are a registered user
you can try it out by clicking the subscribe field in your profile. |
