helo,

Is there any tutorial showing how to create a newsletter ?

thanks

Exactly what do you need... I am doing something up on this at the moment. The features I will probably end up with are:

Add email address
No duplicate addresses
Send plain text or html mail option
Remove function
Valid email address
Must confirm subscription and removal by clicking link in email sent to them
Admin section (Control Panel - CP)
Send HTML or Text email directly from CP
Individual to each subscriber - no subscriber will see others address
View subscribers in CP
Purge unautorised email subscriptions (ie. didn't click the link sent to them)
Delete unwanted subscribers in CP
Add your own subscribers in CP
Message Log of every mail sent
File attachment capability
Preview emails before sending
Send test emails to owner before sending
Full CP control over from, subject, importance, etc.


Have I missed anything? Is there anything else you think is needed. The script will be for ASP and VBScript, but I will probably prepare one for Javascript as well.

What else do you think should be included?

davidbehan,
Dude, that would be awesome... alot of people would find that very valuable in teaching them how to utilize CDONTS and ASP.

I am working on a top class system at the moment for my own site. I just finished the sign up process and removal process. It requires you to verify you signed up to my mailing list by sending you a link to your email, with an embedded code in it. You have to click the link to approve your email address.

Same goes for removing. Sends a removal link with an embedded code. You must click this link to be removed. It's to make sure that the owner of the subscription is the only one who can join or remove themselves from the mailing list.

The embedded code is randomely generated and individual for each signup. I should have my new website up and running over the weekend. When I launch it, you can have a look for yourself. MAKE SURE YOU SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER!!!

After I finish it for my own, I will tweak a version for general use on any website. As a matter of interest, what would you pay for such a system. I know there is an extension out there to do part of the work for $50 but what would you pay for a full system like I described above?

Here is the market research part of me coming out. From developer to developer, how much time saved would an fully ASP and VBScript system like this be worth to you in monetary terms???

p.s. give me a bit of time and I will work on that jscript version...

Hello davidbean

That is exactly what i need. i was also wondering if there would be any possilbility to insert flash animations on the newsletter as well.

thanks

In the html send mail, you would embed a link to your flash animation. Therefore, when the user opens the email and is still connected to the interent, your flash animation should play. Test mail function can be used first to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Just launched our new site with the <b>newsletter system</b> in it. Still a little bit of work to do on the admin to clean things up but won't take long. Try signing up to the newsletter to see what you think.

Give me your feedback:

hello,
the registering process is quite simple, no hassle. I assume that you know how to create a newsletter so ?
You help could be handful.

I can do the newsletter alright - its just getting the time to set up everything. First step was to get all the functionality of the frontend working and get it live. We are working on our admin system as well as a few clients at the moment so time is scarce. As soon as I get the newsletter system up and running you'll get an email.

We'll then put the newsletter system together for product release. Sorry, but it will be about another 2 weeks or so before release.

Is there anything I can help you with now? Any questions you want to ask in setting up your own from scratch?

You will be glad to hear that we are just finished the Mailing List Manager. We are in the final testing stages of the system and are putting together the documentation and information for our website. We should have everything to launch in the next week or so.

Please sign up for our newsletter that uses the new system at www.site-manager.com/af.asp?a=11&l=1tds9p6x2 and we will contact you through our mailing list as soon as we release the software.

Talk to you soon.

Regards,
