Simple Mailing List

Straight forward package that allows you to add a typical mailing list to your online operation. Upon installation a new Mailing List parent menu will be available within the administration panel. Features include:

• Easy setup. Simply add a small HTML form anywhere you wish to collect the e-mail address, and optionally the name.
• All subscribers automatically verified by clicking a link within an e-mail that is sent upon subscribing.
• Easily broadcast e-mails to all verified subscribers either immediately or at a scheduled date and time.
• Track number of opens and clicks of each e-mail broadcast, including exactly which subcribers opened / clicked on a link within the e-mail.

Setup

Simply add the following HTML form anywhere on your web site:

<form action="/subscribe" method="POST">
E-Mail: <input type="text" name="email"><br />
<input type="submit" value="Subcribe Now">
</form>

You simply need a form to POST to /subscribe on your web site, and it must contain one form field named "email". Aside from the "email" field, you may also use the following field names and they will be processed accordingly:

• full_name
• first_name
• last_name

Track Opens / Clicks

The package will automatically track al opens, but only if the TML format of the message is viewed. Tracking of opens will not work if the recipient views the plain text version of the e-mail message.

For clicks, simply change the URL to link to to [url:<URL><]. For example:

`[url:https:?/myexample.com/some/page]
