Evennews (mailings)

Evennews is the only module capable of sending (html) newsletters, archive them and have subscribe and unsubscribe options for newsletters, right?

So my guess is that many people are using this module?

With XOOPS 2.4 (and I think also with 2.3) it is not working, not sending emails.

Noticed:

Warning: MyTextSanitizer::oopsStripSlashesGPC is deprecated in file /class/module.textsanitizer.php line 918
Notice: Function getMailer() is deprecated, use xoops_getMailer instead in file /include/functions.legacy.php line 78


Has anyone got this working? Or has anyone got an alternative? (not the payed module from instantzero)

Thanks!

I think this module is written originally for XOOPS 2.0.13 or somewhere about this version, and therefore this will probably take some work getting to work with XOOPS 2.4.

Use for instance

addSlashes instead of oopsStripSlashesGPC
xoops_getMailer() instead of getmailer()

Doesn't news 1.63 have these functions ?

Curing the deprecated messages is not the solution to get it working.

The 2.1 version needed a /admin/menu.php file for operating with 2.2.6 (extracted from a previous version).
$adminmenu[1]['title'] = _MI_EVENNEWS_USERLIST;
$adminmenu[1]['link'] = "admin/user.php";
$adminmenu[2]['title'] = _MI_EVENNEWS_ADDUSER;
$adminmenu[2]['link'] = "admin/user.php?action=add_user";
$adminmenu[3]['title'] = _MI_EVENNEWS_SENDMESSAGE;
$adminmenu[3]['link'] = "admin/index.php?action=send";
$adminmenu[4]['title'] = _MI_EVENNEWS_VIEWARCHIVE;
$adminmenu[4]['link'] = "admin/index.php?action=view_archives";
?>

I noticed there was one issue when editing a newsletter item. Instead of saving the news letter it created a new news item. It would be great if someone can work on this mod. include a better editor. Not everyone posts news items/newsletters using the more advanced news modules so it would be a good thing to have this mod functional. It would also allowed users to create their unique newsletter items.

Actually.. I have gone another way. It is always hard to go through someones code and I simply do not have the time for this.
Currently I use AMS for my articles. I've done the following (really crude, but works for my purposes):

I've created a category called mailings. In there I just create an article as always. When I go to the admin section of AMS and view my articles, they now have (under the action column) a mail option. Clicking the button will mail the selected article as html to all users who have registered and requested to receive mailings.
Those who do not have html mail viewer will receive a link to the mailing online.

I tried this module out several years ago but stopped using it because it was exploited (quite effectively) by spammers.

Things may have changed, but keep an eye out for spam passing through this module.

Never saw any references to an exploit of the EvenNews module itself.
There were exploits in the associated editor SPAW.
If you have this editor installed, remove it immediatly.

It's like any regular module. After the install, you have the preferences (/modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences) and the admin of the module (/modules/evennews/admin/index.php).

Other newsletter modules you can find in the repository.
