Well, come to think of it, I haven't actually explained how you'd do something like send a HTML email with an image in no... My problem is that I assume people will just try the obvious approach and put <img .. /> in the email but I guess it's worth mentioning.
Embedded images certainly need a mention, cheers for the nudge on that.
A confirmatoin on the most resource friendly way to personalize through a large list (though I was able to get it to work in the earlier version, using a loop one at a time, with the anti-flood plugin, it worried me) AND use variable for the $to info
Doing that would set this above anything else and leave a flood of donations IMHO
You also use a loop in v3, but I've built the whole Message Object in v3 which does a great deal of caching, on the smallest units of the email it can. If something changes (e.g. The subject) it only re-renders that component and doesn't go near anything else. I'll make a tutorial on it. I will make a template plugin like there was in v2 but it will probably only be doing the same thing
Well, I'll try to help change that. There are people screaming at me (not literall) to have a solution like yours in my software. I will certianly donate over time.
One can't make guarantees, but I'd at least make an effort to make people conscious of it.
I'd gladly pay $20/30 to know how to use the new version for a resource friendly bulk perosnalization to those who opt-in for my site/software
any word on that batch sending tutorial? I need to send out a newsletter and allow my client to write an email that is sent to like 200-1000 people. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Nope sorry nothing yet. I probably won't get time later, but basically it's quite simple yeah. Do you want to get all 1000 out in one page request? I may hold out until the new document manager is finished (2 days?) since once that's done I can pretty much launch the new site as the other bits can be added in like 10 mins
If you're looking for message customization, take a look at the decorator plugin in the plugin section of the wiki. I'm seriously gonna sort all that documentation out asap
