Hi Anders and Jesper and thanks a lot for this sweet solution!! I must agree about the Dialog app, that would be a nice solution... I just tried the sending configuration "Html and text (Use propertyalias)" and despite that I had stated an existing Textbox Multiple as txt source property, the text part of the mail ,when viewed in Thunderbird, where made of stripped html with alt-attributes written out in clear text !? But in www.inbox.com's plain text view it where made up of the correct fields?? This isn't a problem when you assign a text property using the DotNetOpenMail lib, compare these two mail raw sources, the first is from your new MailerControl, and the second is from a custom .Net app I made this winter using DotNetOpenMail and assigning text and HTML properties. The only spot on difference I can find is that the DotNetOpenMail generated one starts with the line "This is a multi-part message in MIME format." right beneath all the "X-" headers.... And that both the fields are base-64 encoded wia DotNetOpenMail... MailControl with Text Property set to a Textbox Multiple:Code:----boundary_22_f7317107-689f-4825-855d-ab415c294fb4

[snip] And for the feature requests ; ): What if... ...you could specify member groups and/or property filters for each document before you send? Instead of having to create a new datatype for each send option? ...you could make it harder to (by accident) send the same newsletter twice by adding a "Message sent at: YYYY-MM-DD, HH:mm" field with a "resend" button. // ; ) Kalle

Thanks for the feedback! :D I know there are some quirks with text/html, i'll look into it later today! :) About the first one. Yes, i considered that, and it would be quite easy actually.. But you would need to set it for each newsletter you create. If that is allright, i could add that feature when i got some more time.. I think its best to finish what we got now, and get up on codeplex (either in the official build, or in umbracoext). Then you can mess with it so much you want ;)

Sounds great that you will add the "Resend" feature ASAP, but hey! don't forget to enjoy the summer sun!! (what summer!? Rain, rain, rain over Scandinavia) Anyway... When it comes to the "inconvenience" of having to select groups or property filter for each created mail I see that more as a blessing, cause with this option (true/false in the datatype settings?) I can use the NewsLetter functionality as a Mailing engine in a more flexible way... For the purpose of keeping functionality could it be possible to use both a predefined one (datatype setting) and a specified per message one like this? Choose to send to a single user, or to send to a group of members( ) Send to single member ( ) Send to prefined members (x) Send to members specified below [Insert a form similar to the one in the datatype settings, perhaps spiced up with a multi selector for user groups instead of the dropdown...] But when I think of it, it seems a bit off to force end-users to enter the filter syntax themselves... But Iwould love that feature ;) ; ) Kalle

I dont know summer. Only winter and autumn :thumbdown: Kalle Wibeck wrote:

You are really complicating things for me :D Nevertheless, ill try to put things in. So you only need the membergroup(s), and filter (guess i have to persist what radio-button is selected too)? Kalle Wibeck wrote:

( ) Send to single member

(x) Send to members specified below
Ill see if i can make the form look like that (why are custom controls to boring to make? :( ). Kalle Wibeck wrote:

Yeah, i would need to build a special control to edit the filter (the syntax is directly saved in the database. Its the raw format). Now, ease on the features, i need to finish this ;)

I added the old control to the new project http://codeplex.com/dialog I am currently implementing a library for use in usercontrols and in xslt Download the source, while its still fresh! If anyone who wants to get access to the repository, just write in the codeplex forum :w00t:

@Anders: You rock - I forgot to tell you that at my fast reply
@SørenS: I'll get back to you on stats - there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done for v2 anyway.
(I'm trying to take a week break - but just can't keep my hands away from the forum. Been away for too long and so much great stuff is happening :o))
Love,
niels...

Forgot to publish it :blush: .. its up and running now! As i said, i added the old control i was building to the repository. Much easier to maintain for me then. I WILL make a public release, and some info on how to use it. And thanks Niels. Now go back to having that vacation! :)

Inside the folderstructure in the zip, you'll find a .umb file. Install this from within the developer section by right clicking on the macro node and select import package and then browse to the .umb file you downloaded... // Kalle

Hi, Kalle- Sorry, I'm referring to the source code download available from codeplex ( http://www.codeplex.com/dialog/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx). The zip file I get from there doesn't have any umb files. It's the source code (obviously :D ), but there aren't any instructions in there about what to do next.... (I did manage to grab the zip file via the link to Anders' site. If there's no additional functionality in the codeplex stuff, I guess I'm set. (Other than trying to figure out why my SMTP server stuff isn't working...) Thanks!

What happened to this control?
