Its too bad the add on doesn't inherit the said forums style (skin.) Still looking hard at possible purchase, just seeing how much work it takes to "customize" it to my liking. :)

The XenForo email system doesn't even do that though. You can customize it anyway you want. It is all in the template system. If you know HTML and basic XenForo template variables it is easy as can be.
 
My suggestion:
Can you make the /xfnewsletter area in ACP so that only admin can view it? I don't think any members should view it as it's just a preview place for admins when they format they letters.
 
Small suggestion.

The ability to set an image to accompany each thread (so, overruling the OP avatar)

After using a few times, I'm finding sometimes I can't use a thread because the OP avatar isn't really suitable for email, and the last email, all 5 top threads didn't have an avatar so it looked a little bare.

Thanks
 
You can easily replace the images before you send them out. Just search for the url in the source code and replace with an image you want.
 
Hi, when I try to run the xml for the latest version I getan error:

I purchased this a while back. (Don't recall what I paid).

I had problems setting up XF, so I put this on the back burner.
How would I begin to set this up?

I want a newsletter that has a simple message to my users followed by a list of new threads they can read.

Thanks.

Install it like any other add-on. Go to Options area to configure it. Then go to /xfnewsletter to see the preview and source html
 
Ok,

HTML produced nicely...

But trying to send using XF, received this error:

Fatal error: Class 'Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail' not found in /home/hobbymac/public_html/library/XenForo/Mail.php on line 611

That sounds like an server configuration issue outside this add-on.
 
Thanks, that is what I suspected. Am contacting my web host to see if they have to set something so this works.
 
My one concern is the unsubscribe provision. The link takes you to an area where you can unsubscribe from admin mailings.
We do have a custom field at registration for subscribing to our newsletter.

I assume that the link could be changed to take the user to their profile where they can change that setting.
Then we ONLY send out the HTML to those users who indicated they wanted to receive the newsletter,

Correct?

Yes it can. You can change that before you send out each newsletter in the source code. I really recommend looking into Sendy.co or other alternatives to manage your email newsletters. The process is much more streamlined and easier to manage.
