HI, I am after a module that would allow me to email content from my website to my users. for example the last 24hrs worth of forum postings would automatically be emailed at a specific time or day.

I have had a good look around but i am unable to find anything suitable.

Thanks.
Steve.

Which Forums do you use?

CBB 3.08 has a "digest" feature which might do what you want (not tried the digest feature myself though).

I don't think that there's a module which will monitor changes in other modules' content and email it - I'd be using it if there was one

Hi, i do use cbb 3.08 and have had a look at the digest feature, not sure if it is going to do what i want it to do, but i will look again. it is really only going to be forum posts which would be mailed out, this is a request from some of my users.

The "digest" does the job, however it only sends valuable topics, which are marked as "digest" or "essence"

digest feature,


Got to the topics you want "marked" in the digest, look in "Topic Options" (before Rate Thread and View Mode).

You will see "Make this Topic as Digest" select that one, same way to "Undigest"

In the forum preferences you can select to send the digest daily or weekly.

I haven't used it for a long time was getting to much mail lol.

See how it goes and let us know.

;o)

Edit: just checked it looks like it may not be working on my site anymore

Digest notification
Should be sent out 20384028 minutes ago

There is Zero archived so there is nothing to send lol.

Does anyone have it working?

I have the same "Digest notification
Should be sent out 20384028 minutes ago" as you.

i also would like to pick a forum to digest not just the topic.

i have had a play with smart mail it looked all good but had trouble getting it to work so have now given up on that.

Thanks for you input thought...

There is this, though I haven't used it, FeedBurner Email, Each category in CBB has a RSS feed from memory, apparently the FeedBurner email sends RSS feeds to email, but I only had a quick read of it, I may look into it a bit further, might be a handy feature to have if it's free and works.

FeedBurner Email

It's dated 2006 so you would have to check out if they still have it!

It turns out that not everybody is quite ready to ditch the old Inbox just yet. People like to be notified when their favorite publishers have something new posted, but a large audience still finds the familiar setting of email to be the most comfortable and reliable way to receive updates. We initially announced feed-by-email support back in October. Since then, we have been asked by a number of our publishers to integrate our own feed-powered email update service, and we are the kind of people who do what is asked of us, if the question is asked nicely, in lower case, with a minimum of question marks.


They do mention a premium service as well so I don't know, it may cost.

Cheers ;o)
