Description
Hi Steve,
If it's ok with you, I would like to start working on a 5.x-2.dev branch. Main item there would be views integration and some code freshup (some of the patches I requested before). How would you feel about that?
Thanks
Mark
#1
Sure. But, using a view with simplenews_digest should be an additional option, not required. I would want to keep the simpler system around for selecting node types and categories in place. Your average Joe user shouldn't be forced to use a complicated form like views to select which nodes get sent out.
Out of curiosity, what problem are you trying to solve with a view? What can't the current module do?

Of course, I would try to make it an extra.
Nice thing about views it gives a lot of flexibility making lists of items. It should be quite easy to send out nicely themed teasers, titles (with or without link), complete posts, maybe even pictures. It's just the flexibility part I like.

Hi Steve,
First version. It's still buggy, does not always work as expected, etc. etc.
Just putted it here for reviewing purposes.
What is does:
Lets you choose your settings (http://drupal.org/node/353924)
Sends out either normal or views mails (with preview!)
Gives you a lost (mon)day of the month option (other days also available)
What it needs:
Patch views with:

Great! Thanks so much.
I'm totally and utterly crushed with client work at the moment. I will create a new branch when I get a chance.
