How To: Basic E-news

Last updated on

You are browsing documentation for an older version of Drupal, which is not supported any longer, and the information may not be correct. See current documentation for Contributed modules

Installation and Setup

  1. Download and install Basic E-news module (see: Installing contributed modules).
  2. Download the emogrifier class and unpack it within enews/emogrifier so that the directory structure is [path-to-modules]/enews/emogrifier/emogrifier.php
  3. Create or assign an existing content type as a Newsletter on the content type edit form ("Add a check to this box if this node type can be used as a newsletter.")
  4. [optional]: Add raw CSS, select from your theme's existing CSS files, or assign arbitrary CSS files from your filesystem to your newsletter
  5. [optional]: Add enews-specific regions to your theme's .info file, and edit the newsletter content type to include these regions.
  6. [optional]: To override the default enews template, copy enews.tpl.php to your site's theme(s) directory

Caveats and Debugging

  • When making changes to your theme -- including copying enews.tpl.php and changing your theme's .info file -- you must clear your site's theme cache!
  • If your newsletter preview does not reflect changes, re-save the newsletter node. This will force enews to regenerate and re-emogrify the exported text and HTML.
