Description A WEB Newsletter CMS System In Catalog
No


This application is designed to work in conjunction with the free CMS system PDQ Portal (http://www.pdqportal.com). It allows HTML newsletters to be created from the documents in the Content Management System. The HTML in the newsletters is compatible with the Notes email client as well as a wide variety of other clients.

Every site needs a newsletter feature. While useful site content can attract visitors, only followup emails can ensure that they keep coming back. However, creating newsletters can be time consuming.

This newsletter manager allows content already posted in the PDQ CMS system to be added to a newsletter with a click. Images and formatting are automatically converted as required to ensure accurate HTML formatting in all mail clients (even Notes clients).

- Subscribe / Manage portlet for main page of site.
- Subscriber list management portlet has been added to the report system.
- Newsletter portlet has been added to the content manager interface.
- Multiple newsletters and issues can be maintained.
- The CMS tracks which articles have been placed in which newsletter issues.
- Article links are automatically generated.
- Specify sections for each newsletter and the format for each to to use.
- Automatic conversion of web site HTML to Notes email client compatible HTML.
- Create custom newsletter sections using the Report Generator, based on data from any database (even ODBC links).
- Use the report generator to distribute the newsletters to subscribers
- Create distribution lists based on data in other databases or uploaded CSV files.

The file posted here contains all of the definition documents and @formulas that define the newsletter application. To use this application, download the free PDQ Portal CMS system and copy these documents in to it (if they are not there already). All code in this application is released under the Apache License Version 2.0 and can be freely modified and distributed.



Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
Enter the contributors or owners here who you want to receive notifications and questions by email.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
A Catalog Release is for projects that are production ready and that are end-user "install friendly".
