First want to thank you for developing this module. Very nice and simple. Couple of things I would point out:

  • Right now you can only get to the mailout in the navigation menu. It would be nice if it was in the Content Managment section in the content area.
  • If images do not have the full http:// path, have the domain name added automatically. In other words, if an image source is src="/files/image.jpg" would be changed to src="http://www.mydomain.com/files/image.jpg". Not sure how hard this would be to do.
  • It would be really nice to incorporate Insert Views support
  • For site with OG, it would be nice to select to mail to specific groups.

Again, really nice work overall.

Thanks,
Rene

rhatche,

Thanks for taking the time to take a look and give some feedback. I appreciate it. The OG idea is a great one. I will look at adding that shortly.

Could you explain the insert views support? How would that work? Like you could insert a view into the email when you are sending it?

Will look at the other items. Not sure if I want to get into updating the relative file paths... at least for now I will probably put this burden on the author.

I have added OG support into the dev version. Now, if OG is installed, you get a checkbox for each group to add all email addresses from that group to the mailout.

I have been trying to get the links/description in the content section of the admin page. It seemed like it should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out.

This should be fixed in next dev snapshot, although I had a hell of a time with it. I would appreciate confirmation that it is working if anyone tries it out. Thanks!

added the 2 features I planned to. Probably wont add file path completion. Willing to look into the views stuff if someone wants to post more detailed info.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

To clarify the insert views comment, essentially I was mentioning that inserting view would be great, using the insert view module (http://drupal.org/project/insert_view).

Of course, being able to transform all the links and images to absolute links. The information on this page might help you since the issue is very similar: http://drupal.org/node/229971.

The reason this would be useful is that we have newsletters that some clients want with some feature products in the email "sidebar". Would be really neat to call a view instead of manually putting that stuff in.

Thanks,
Rene
