Is there a working newsletter module?

I tried xnewsletter and it won't install

Quote:
BLOB/TEXT column 'template_description' can't have a default value


And it's the latest version from github

You might try this one... I made some quick changes to remove setting a default value on MySQL text columns...

Let me know if this worked. If so, I'll submit a GitHub pull request for the change(s).

@Zap_English

We need a little more information to be able to help. Can you tell us what the settings are/were on the Import page when it "didn't work"?

Any information you can give us helps reduce the time it takes to find the problem and hopefully resolve it quickly.

It doesn't give an error. It just says no data imported

I tried both formats given in the example files and nothing happens

There were problems due to xNewsletter's use of direct mysql statements instead of using the XOOPS API for database access. I've fixed those and a few other bugs in the import plugins (XoopsUser and CSV). Please download again from my GitHub repository and let me know what you find.

That fixed it.

Now I have to edit over 600 subscribers from simplenewsletter to get them to import to xnewsletter :(

I'll look at this tomorrow to see if I can create a plugin for simplenewsletter so you can import subscribers. Stay tuned...
