Mail-List System Feature Enhancement - FeedBlitz newsletter RSS/ATOM
The use of an outside mail-list system is not unusual.

I'm using [http://feedblitz.com|FeedBlitz.com] to get newsletters to users.

It would be nice to have the FeedBlitz system integrated with the Tiki registration module.

Here is what their Knowledge base says about integrating this kind of requirement.

Newsletter subscriptions by anonymous
I'm testing a tiki replacement for our old CMS Made Simple CMS. I'm using the Fivealive Theme and I've set read permissions for anonymous visitors to view newsletter archives though they have to subscribe. In that window to subscribe there's a CaptCha code but there isn't a dialogue box for entering an email address to subscribe. However, when I enter the code, I get the following response:

"Newsletters Help

Thanks for your subscription. You will receive an email soon to confirm your subscription. No newsletters will be sent to you until the subscription is confirmed."

Obviously, that can't happen without having an email address to send the confirmation to.

I've tested this in Konqueror, Chromium and Firefox in an Ubuntu environment; Chrome, IE9 & Firefox in Win 7 Ultimate environment; and Firefox and IE8 in an XP Pro environment. All with the same interface results.

Add ip to syslog and/or action log, so that when anons (at least) are allowed to add content and it's spam (robots seem to be able to post with our current antibot captcha), there is way to identify the ip of the spammer.

So far, antibot captcha is added (in trunk, at least) to:

* wiki page comments
* forum posts
* tracker item comments
* freetags
* calendar items
* newsletter subscription

The action of adding content on those features should be logged in syslog and/or action log and IP recorded.

HTML newsletter/email output unreliable/distorted
I will paste long test results that i posted in forum at the end.

Simple explanation is that my HTML email that i send as newsletter gets corrupted by my MTA. Pretty sure this is a Tiki issue since i get 100's of correctly formatted html email every day.

------------

Been pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure this out; decided to try searching forum (will someone with admin please enable full text search on this site???). Came across this post that sounds much like my problem. Doubt anyone still watching this post but maybe Sylvie is still keeping an eye on it.

I have authored a very lovely, very html rich newsletter. Thought it would be very cool to use TW to send this as an email (ala TW Newsletter). But my email seems to be getting corrupted in numerous very confusing manners. Like I said I have run about 50 tests so far and results are a bit sporadic… so just a few of the results:

- the html file I am trying to use as content for my newsletter can be seen (perfectly I might add) I a browser at [http://www.ottawavolleyball.com/newsletters/nl_0505.htm]


- nl preview almost always looks correct – but not always (can’t handle background style color setting for example – but no big deal)
- I am using a few different mail programs and different mail servers
o mozilla mail, Outlook, and webmail
o my ISP mail account and the mail server that run myself

- basic issue is that when I look at the email – it is messed up
- looking at the html source that my email program spits out I see 3 basic types of corruption:
o characters being lost (ex. link to gif is http://domain/ball.gif and it ends up as http://domain/bll.gif)
 this of course shows up when viewing the email as a missing graphic
o characters are being inserted
 the “=” character is being thrown in all a lot ; and sometimes the character string “3D” – which amazingly enough is ASCII for .. you guessed it – the “=” character
 this of course has a similar effect to characters being lost

the REALLY messed up part of this problem is what is consistent and what isn’t:

- my ISP mail account generally works better
- errors are repeatable – sending same email over and over will always same corruption
- that corruption is mostly repeatable between Outlook and Mozilla – but not completely

Like I said I have far more details test results – but I figure if someone knows the answer to my problem – they likely already know it from what I have reported so far.

My final test was to simply scrap the whole formatted html newsletter idea and just send a text email giving link to see html nl in browser. My simple one liner with a link also gets corrupted but only when going through my email server (my ISPs works fine).

Any thoughts would really save me a lot of hair…

cheers,
peter….

Newsletter - problem in get_all_subscriber when login name contains uppercases
A user registered himself, and chooses as login a name with uppercases (Stephane).

Two newsletter are created, with different subscriptions:
1) group subscription, including the aforementioned user
2) user self subscribe

When sending newsletter 1, the email is sent to the user.
When sending newsletter 2, the email address of the user is not found in the database and cannot be sent (despite finding the correct number of subscribers)

I traced it to two libraries:
first in ./lib/newsletter/nllib.php, in the function get_all_subscriber, we can see in the first part of the function how the email adresses are collected based on the subscribed groups. The select is mostly direct, and gets the correct information.
Later in the function (line 215 and following), individual users are added to the list of emails. Line 218, the "email" from the table tiki_newsletter_subscriptions (which is the login for registered users) is brought to lower case. (Note: I'm not sure, but it could be that the subscription module also puts the login in lower case in that table...)
Finally, line 232, the function get_user_email uses as parameter this lowercase login name to find out the actual email address.

This function is defined in the library ./lib/userlibs.php on line 5581.
This function compares the login passed as parameter to the login in the users_users table, but with a "binary" comparison, i.e. case sensitive! Removing the binary keyword lets the newsletter module find the correct user, and then its email.

Permission on Newsletters using Group Permissions
Hi,

as written to the dev list, I had the problem to restrict access to some newsletters but not to all. I found a solution, but I am not sure, if this breaks nothing else. Here is the problem:

I want to set up some newsletters: One with access from anybody (anonymous users can subscribe and view the archive) and some others with access only for special groups of users.

On global permission page I set 'tiki_p_list_newsletters' and 'tiki_p_subscribe_email' for anonymous users (this permissions are not available on the object permission page).

On the object permission page for the single newsletter (accessible through /tiki-admin_newsletters.php and the key icon of every newsletter) I activate 'tiki_p_subscribe_newsletters' and 'tiki_p_view_newsletter' for the group of users with permissions on this newsletter.

With this settings I would expect, that an anonymous user browsing page tiki-newsletters.php would see the list of newsletters, in this case showing only the public newsletter. But in this case there is an error (You are not logged in). As a privileged user (allowed to see all newsletters) the page is accessible but empty, not showing any newsletter.

Missing Permissions assignment feature for Newsletters
Contrary to TikiWiki documentation (and contrary to TikiWiki common sense) it is NOT possible in a 3.0 wiki (specifically http://jiamcatt.ourwiki.net) to assign any permissions to Newsletters. This means that NO ONE, other than Admins can even see the list of Newsletters, to say nothing of viewing past newsletters (the archives). This is unacceptable – and contrary to TikiWiki documentation.

JIAMCATT is the community of IT-oriented managers of language (translation and interpretation) services of major International organizations and European multilateral bodies. After a slow start about a year ago this community has now agreed to try to use a TikiWiki-based system. Within the past month (since several of the TikiWiki team participated in the JIAMCATT annual meeting in Ottawa, Canada early May 2009) close to 200 users have joined up.
One key aspect of the work of JIAMCATT are Working Groups. One of these has just started work. It’s tools include wiki pages in the two working languages (En + Fr), a discussion forum (consisting already of 13 topics), and – last but NOT least – a Newsletter to keep everyone abreast of developments. This feature, it now turns out doesn’t work in a very bad way: NO ONE, other than Admins can even see the list of Newsletters, to say nothing of viewing past newsletters (the archives). This is unacceptable – and contrary to TikiWiki documentation.

I expect this should be a simple fix for a TikiWiki insider (the feature existed at the time the documentation was written); albeit impossible for someone not intimate with the insides of this system.

Screen shots are attached. The first – now shows as the last – called “ButtonsAvail-inJiamcatt-ourwiki-net-Newsletter-admin.gif” shows the buttons seen by an Admin user when trying to do “Admin Newsletters”. The second, called “MissingButton-from-doc-tikiwiki-org.gif” shows the buttons in doc.tikiwiki.org in the http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Newsletters section in the http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Newsletter+Admin&bl=y page, under the segment titled “Changing Existing Newsletters”. The third screen shows you what a non-Admin user who should have access to view newsletters and archives of this Working Group, sees (file: “Empty list of newsletters for (nonAdmin) WG members.gif”).

Unless someone can provide a fix quickly, this group will abandon TikiWiki as its working tool.

Newsletter - Clipper - Articles - Blog
Hey there,

I know, that somebody (Xavi? Nelson?) is working on a functionality, called "Clipper", that should allow to choose certain articles headlines and to send them by newsletter.

I think it would be nice/importand to have the possibility, to send not only the header, but also the teaser for every article like the following:

topline
Headline
subline
author, date ...

teaser
bla bla bla
link

---

next topline
next Headline
.
.
.

Another guy did request this feature for blogs, to give operational stuff the possibility to send the management daily or weekly reports.

[http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=3474&trackerId=5&show=view&reloff=1&cant=2&filterfield=43%3A47%3A32&filtervalue=%3A%3A&exactvalue=Array%3AArray%3A45&trackerId=5|trackerID:5_itemID:3474]

So I think this "clipper" feature would make sense for blogs aswell.

Newsletter "Validate email addresses" parameter reverts to NULL if you edit it (v2.2)
When you first define a Newsletter if you set the "Validate email addresses" parameter this, first of all, works fine and in the Subscription screen the "Don't send confirmation mail" is shown and a validation e-mail is sent when a new user is added.

BUT if you go back and Edit the Newsletter - first of all the "Validate email addresses" is NOT ticked when the existing Newsletter details are populated - but reticking it and reSaving the Newsletter does not set the parameter. Looking at the raw database shows that whilst the validateAddr field is set to "y" when the Newsletter is first set up - it is set to NULL once the Newsletter is edited and no matter how many times the Newsletter is edited and resaved the field stays at a NULL value - and obviously the validation process for new users is no longer available.

Editing the raw database with phpMyAdmin is the only way to reset the field to "y"

newsletter / cron job with content of since_last_visit_new
since_last_visit_new is an amazing module

Now, it would be nice to be sent a weekly summary (and URLS) of everything that has changed on the site, since my last login.

This is similar to the idea of RSS to newsletter that phplist offers. However, in our case, it would respect the permissions (WYSIWYCA)

Ideally, it would only be sent if you don't login after x days or weeks.

Newsletter from address does not use Sender Email
After a recent CVS update, the From: address of newsletter e-mails changed from the configured SenderEmail address to (apparantly) the address of the logged on user sending the newsletter. Since a changing number of users can send newsletters, it is difficult for recipients to configure their e-mail filters to accept all of them. The change caused a number of newletters to fail delivery.

Newsletter group subscription inheritance problematic
Imagine a simple group setup in which we have an Employee group and a Manager group. Every manager is an employee and so has all of the permissions of an employee, so we make the Manager group inherit from the Employee group. We put the basic permissions on Employee, and the special permissions of managers on the Manager group. Good so far. Now we'd like to have a newsletter BossNews for managers, so naturally we subscribe the Manager group to the BossNews newsletter. But by the current group subscription rule, this automatically sends BossNews to the Employee group as well. Presumably not what we want, as the BossNews is intended to have the inside scoop that only Managers should see.

Since the inheritor group generally corresponds to a ''subset'' of the inherited group, it is very unlikely that the current rule will be useful -- subscribing the subset to the newsletter should not automatically pull in the larger set.

Even reversing the newsletter subscription inheritance -- so that subscribing Employee to a group automatically subscribes Manager -- may be problematic. The subgroup may not want to see the "chatter" of the larger group. Think BoardOfDirectors as a subgroup of Managers -- they probably do not want to see all of the Employee updates.

So I would recommend no inheritance at all for group subscriptions to newsletters, since you can always subscribe both Employee and Manager to a newsletter if that's who should receive the messages.

Newsletter Preview gives a false impression of resultant outcome as a received e-mail
When an HTML Newsletter is created and 'Previewed', what is shown uses the linked CSS styles for the site's theme that are available to the browser - but these will not be available when the Newsletter is received as an e-mail and viewed in an e-mail client like Outlook. Generally speaking e-mail clients need to have in-line styling/'old fashioned' HTML tags.

It would be more sensible if (somehow?) the Preview function in Newsletters only used the formats/styling that was in-line/directly embedded in the content since this would generally provide a more realistic idea of how the Newsletter would look when it arrived as an e-mail - although depending upon the e-mail client even embedded styling may sometimes be stripped out.

So perhaps, at least, the Preview screen should warn users of this problem??

You can unsubscribe from this newsletter following this link:

Printing/ e-mailing Multiple Blog entries based on date
Hi there everyone, newbie calling.

I work in a technical operations area. Currently developing the wiki as a wiki for operational staff across various areas but thought I would use some more of the functions that are available.

As an operations area there is a requirement for logs to be written daily by operation staff across different departments and to be e-mailed to management staff.

My idea is to give each department (5 in total) a separate blog. Only members of each department can write to their blog but any member of each department can read the other blogs. So far so good. By tagging each entry searches across blogs can identify faults across departments. This works perfectly and therefore preferable to a forum based solution as I need it to be as simple as possible for the operational staff.

However there is a requirement to print each log on a daily basis and ideally e-mail it to non-members (managers) possibily dependent upon tags. Obviously it is simple to print each separate entry but what I am looking for is a way of printing a 24 hour period of blog entries, or exporting them to a text file (word or e-mail body for example) to be distributed and printed. This is because there can be as many as 100 blog entries per day and it would be time consuming (and forest destroying) to print each one out individually.

Apologies if this is covered in a document that I have missed but I am still trying to absorb all the variables. I have also posted it in the forums to see if someone has any ideas with existing features or indeed using it in this way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This could also be important for ((Workspaces)), and ((Organic Groups)). So that, not just to register (join the registered group), but as a customized message per group, so that, when joining a new group (at registration time, or later on through the subscribe groups plugin), you get the specific message with hints, links and remindings of things adapted for that group.

Trackers: email field type -> ask email twice and check that they match (same thing for newsletters)
When using a tracker to collect emails, it's very important that there be no typo.

tracker item
User with only the tiki_p_subscribe_newsletters permission doesn't see the Subscribe button
sorry - not actually a problem

tracker item
Using desktop mail client (ex.: Thunderbird) to reach Tiki contacts, groups or newsletter
Tiki newsletter works well for small volumes.

But for large volumes, as with any web app, sending emails from a server can be a challenge. Risk of being flagged as spammer, high server load/difficult to throttle, limits from your web hosts (ex.: max x emails per hour), etc

A helpful alternative would be something like this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4883

So my Thunderbird client or desktop newsletter application (ex.: [http://gammadyne.com/mmail.htm|Gammadybe Mailer]) should be able to access the TikiWiki database to generate recipient list.



---

Another approach is to make the Tiki contacts (address book) accessible via the LDAP protocol and thus, email clients can access.

When a user unsubscribes from a newsletter, he is unsubscribed from all newsletters
This problem occurs if :
* the subscriptions to the newsletters are made with tiki groups (with tiki users)
* some groups are subscribed to more than one newsletters
* the users can unsubscribe with the links added at the bottom of each mail

==> if a user clics on the link added in a mail, he will be unsubscribed from all the newsletters

Newsletter, Subscribe plugin is broken and nothing is displayed when using it

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
