The subscribe form
To let your visitors subscribe (or unsubscribe) to your newsletter, you can use the subscribe form in your normal skin by adding <%MyNewsletter(form)%> somewhere in the skin. When a visitor subscribes himself using this form he will be subscribed for the newsletter of the current blog. You can customize this form by editing ‘subscribe-form.inc.php’ in the ‘mynewsletter’-folder. I also provided an alternate form for people that have more than one blog and want let the visitor select the blog to which they want to subscribe by choosing it from a dropdown-list. To use the alternate form, simply rename ‘subscribe-form.inc.php’ to by example ‘subscribe-form.inc.php.bak’ and rename ‘subscribe-form.alternate.inc.php’ to ‘subscribe-form.inc.php’.
Personalize the templates
You can change the mails that are send to welcome a new subscriber or when he unsubscribes from your newsletter. Also the notification mails can be personalized. To do this simply edit the .template files in the folder of the language you have selected. Following templates are available:
- welcome.template: sent to welcome a new subscriber
- byebye.tempate: sent when a subscriber unsubscribes himself from your newsletter
- notify.sub.template: sent to notify you when a new user subscribed to your newsletter
- notify.unsub.template: sent to notify you when a user unsubscribed himself
In these templates you can also use the dynamic variables
Managing the subscription-lists
As of v1.2 the plugin provides an Admin Area where you can see who is subscribed for your newsletters and add/delete people. (You need Nucleus 2.5CVS or higher to use this feature!)
