MailBeez Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Your contribution sounds great and I have downloaded all the files and then tried following the instructions for modyfying existing files and I am afriad I strat to get error messages! Even if I get rid of the error message the link still does not appear in the tools box in admin. I have noticed however what appears to be discrepancies to me but I am very new to scripting and coding. For example there is an instruction to find array( 'code' => FILENAME_WHOS_ONLINE, etc etc and add // mailbeez,array( 'code' => 'mailbeez.php', 'title' => 'MailBeez', 'link' => tep_href_link('mailbeez.php'))// the coding you are told to find is based on FILENAMES and the coding you are asked to add are not in the same format. Please help so I can get the benefit of this contribution. hi liz, just replied to your message. cheers cord Quote MailBeez Automatic Trigger Email Campaigns (CRM) with Modules BeezDesk CRM Customer Insight CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MailBeez Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Multilanguage Template ManagerSounds easy, but is actually a complete subsystem:This new add-on makes MailBeez multilingual and also gives you an editor frontend for editing the templates from the admin interface.cheerscord Edited January 21, 2015 by burt remove link Quote MailBeez Automatic Trigger Email Campaigns (CRM) with Modules BeezDesk CRM Customer Insight CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Measha06 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Does this mean we should add this even if we are not using multilingual but want to alter templates from admin?

MailBeez Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 That would be possible, but really an over kill. I am working on a template manager w/o the complex language handling but same editing capabilities - of course at a lower pricetag as well. Would that be of interest?

WallyC Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Your file looks fine, I don't see a problem. You should be able to send out email everyone in your subscribers list with a value of '2' in the field subscribers.customer_newsletter . Note that no attempt has been made to test the bulkmail module with the cron jobs. Perhaps I don't understand what problem you are having, try restating exactly what the issue is. I got the same problem with the module bulkmail once i send an email to all my customers and a few weeks later i will change the name of the newsletter with a different content and try to send another fresh newsletter its not resetting and in my list list recipiens i have no customer can you please tell me if someone had fixed this problem .

WallyC Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hello, Yes i run it once before. Can the problem be in this part: // early check to avoid processing when email was already sent $chk_result = $mb_chk->check($this->module, $this->iteration, $item['subscribers_id']); if ($chk_result != false) { // this iteration for this customer was already sent -> skip //this means if for this customer he has 2011 in mailbeez_tracking then skip him continue; } i dont know how i can send a new mail. I know it is not an option to send the newsletter 2 a day (i use cron job to run mailbeez 2 a day for review's) The newsletter may not do that so i tought i run once and turn off. Is that right or not? because i cant find a manual for bulkmail.

MailBeez Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 hi there, is there a need for an official MailBeez Bulkmail module (premium - not free)? What should be the features? cheers cord Quote MailBeez Automatic Trigger Email Campaigns (CRM) with Modules BeezDesk CRM Customer Insight CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Measha06 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I am new to all this but bulk mail would seem a thing people will want to do on a repeated basis so if they can only send one email to a list and then cant send another it will be limiting the use of mailbeez. I have added but not used yet but this seems logical to me to be able to send regular bulk mails on different topics.

Hotclutch Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 is there a need for an official MailBeez Bulkmail module (premium - not free)? Yes What should be the features?

MailBeez Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 from my point of view I would like to focus on a module for mailbeez as a reliable, controllable engine for sending bulkmails. one idea would be to keep the existing "newsletter manager" admin frontend, but replace the sending function with a mailbeez module - which picks up the newsletter and sends them out. I could be possible to merge other lists (e.g. visitor subscribers) into the customer list of newsletter subscribers.

MailBeez Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 and if there is a bulkmail module you can also do a package with Simple Throttling. absolutely, the "Simple Throttling" is a generic enhancement of MailBeez, so all modules will automatically make use of that Quote MailBeez Automatic Trigger Email Campaigns (CRM) with Modules BeezDesk CRM Customer Insight CE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_oss Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi there! It's me again :) Found another strange thing in Mailbeez. The Facebook review isn't running automaticly. When I look in the module, and list receipients. There are lot's of them in there. But the cronjob doesn't send out the emails. When I run the mailbeez.php manualy, it all works ok and the emails are all send out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
