Unmodified code can be used freely. Purpose of this plugin is to maintain a simple mailing list and send html e-mails to the people in the list. == Description == With this plugin you can maintain a simple mailing list and send html e-mails to people in this list straight from your own server. For people signing up a confirmation e-mail is supported. The plugin supports 'batches' so if your hosting provider limits the number of e-mails you can send in a certain amount of time you can split your sending up. Users can subscribe from the front-end. Just add a div with id "frontendaddemail" in any page: <div id="frontendaddemail"></div> to add the subscription form. Planned features like unsubscribe link. == Installation == The IFS mailinglist plugin doesn't require any specific installation. Just unpack the zip file, upload the files to the plugins folder and activate the plugin. Just set the configuration options first like your e-mail address. Upgrade from previous versions not supported. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How many e-mail addresses can I maintain? = The number of people in the e-mail list is unlimited. = What is a batch = Batches are intended to bypass the limit of the number of mails you can send per hour through your (shared) hosting account. A batch is nothing more or less than a grouping for the people in your mailing list. Of course you could use this functionality in different ways, but the origin was just to bypass the server limit of maximum number of e-mails per hour. == Screenshots == No screenshots yet. == Changelog == = 1.0 = * Current version in development * Planned to display html colors (with numbers to be put in the e-mail. * Planned nicer columns in the sending screen with clearer explanation. * Planned sending individual e-mails instead of BCC. * Planned making it easier to include the signup form in the frontend (without html). * Planned to include unsubscribe link. = 0.99 = * Well, basic stuff is ok now, including version management * See version 1.0 for planned changes * Looking forward to suggestions and feedback = 0.46 = * Nothing really changed.
