Hi there,
here's my problem: When i create an issue of a newsletter anything goes fine. When i send it drupal tells me that it's send and created. But it is not send. In the logs is no "outgoing mail..." and nobody gets that issue via mail. The node is created, it's public and can be viewed (via the node-id). But when i try to list the send issues or the draft ones, none is listed. Same thing when i click the "Previous issues" link in the subscription block. when i try to send a test first, it's send BUT no issues is listed in drafts.
At the moment i'm not using cron (Initial send time: 10) and only 2 persons are subsribed.
"send newsletter", "subscribe to newsletters" and "view links in block" can be done by anonymous the others only be admin.
I'm using drupal 5.7, mysql 5.0.51a and php 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.2. some modules are installed like cck and localizer.

Am i missing something? At the moment simplenews is not usable at all within my drupal installation.

Thanks for your time,
nons

Did you recently updated simplenews? from which version?
It looks like the newsletter specific data is not stored in the database. This is stored in simplenews_newsletter table (fields: nid, vid, tid, s_status, s_format, priority, receipt). Please check.

First I used 1.3 but i had the same problem. then i deleted it and installed 1.4. I think I reinstalled it 2 times after that without any change.
I looked in the db and found the table with 8 entries. I can find these 8 issues via drupal -> content -> filter newsletter issues too.
Do you need more info?

thx

Did you uninstall (admin/build/modules/uninstall) the module in between the install's?

To start from scratch you need to:
- disable simplenews
- uninstall simplenews
- remove the newsletter vocabulary
- remove the newsletters nodes
The only thing that will remain are the permission settings.

Yes I uninstalled it. But I didn't manually remove the nodes and the vocabulary. But some minutes ago I did it the way you said and the problem stays the same.

is simplenews module in /sites/all/modules ?
Can you reproduce this on a new drupal installation (without any other contributed modules)?

nonsenz commented

yes it's inside sites/all/modules. I'll set up a new drupal installation tomorrow and try to reproduce it.

Now I made a fresh install of drupal 5.7 with simplenews 1.4 (no other custom module) and it works (issues are listed as drafts and sends...).
It's important to get it working on the other installation. Is there any known problem between simplenews and one of the following modules (these are in sites/all/modules/ too) ?
* admin_menu
* cck
* imagefield
* localizer
* login_destination
* mimemail
* path_redirect
* tablemanager
* token
* views
What can I do next to get it running?

Thx again,
nons

No known problems with these modules. In my own experience the following modules do not cause problems:
* admin_menu
* cck
* imagefield
* mimemail
* token
* views

Unknown:
* localizer
* login_destination
* path_redirect
* tablemanager

Try installing the modules one by one to see if the problem occurs or disabling one by one to see if the problem disapears.
Focus on the fact that a created newsletter is not listed in the drafts (or send) table. A created newsletter issue MUST appear in the table.
Start with localizer first the others seem pretty harmless to simplenews.

Hi,

I got the same issue, and the problem came from the localizer module.

But i don't have any clue about where it come from.

Update : i try to set up a i18n instead of localizer and simplenews works fine, so i recommend to use i18n.

Hi,
finally I could work on the drupal site again. There must be a problem with localizer and simplenews. After installing localizer 3.3 (i know its old but thats the version installed on the simplenews destination site) the problems from the first post are there again. Any idea whats the problem?
Next things i try is a newer version of localizer and the latest devel-snapshot of simplenews.

ciao and thx

Hi again,
other versions brought no help. But i discovered the following:
when localizer is installed there is a sql-table called localizernode. this one seems to be the problem. i think there must be data in it for every newsletter-item(node) so that it can be displayed when localizer node is activated (part of localizer). but this data wount be created and so its missing. and thats the problem (i think). i dont know if its a simplenews or a localizer problem but i think i fill a bugreport for localizer, too.
please comment my discovery and if its a simplenews or localizer problem, thx!
ciao

(sidenote: i have problems with i18n on my site so i really cant use it, sadly)

i got it working. the thing is i had anable the content support for newsletter items in the localizer config, even if i don't want to localize it. now with the localization enabled everything seems to work just fine. i dont think its a bug anymore so i change the status to closed. hope thats ok.

ciao
