Weekly email of all upcoming events

Subscriptions 2.0 (currently in beta test) already does most of what you're asking for. I just wrote a small add-on module to make the start and end event times available to Subscriptions, and I was going to offer this as a contribution to Event as soon as Subscriptions 2.0 was released, but if there's interest, I can post it now.

Ok, now that you have Subscriptions 2.0 BETA working, here's subscriptions_event...

(remove ".txt" and "_.txt" from the file names.)

EDIT: I should have mentioned how to get the event timestamps into your notification emails: Below the line

}}| Title: !title

insert

{{!event_start==!event_start?:| Event: !event_start}}{{!event_end==!event_end?:  --  !event_end}}{{!event_start==!event_start?:
}}

(that's one long line and two closing braces on a second line of their own)

Event module adds a number of timestamps to the nodes, and I'm not sure which one to pick. I used $node->event['start_format'] and $node->event['end_format']. This may be wrong, depending on your timezone settings, but I'm not sure whether Event itself is getting it right every time yet.

#4: The code should be added on admin/build/mail_edit/subscriptions-node-type-event or whatever content type you have enabled for events.

You can enable digest mode and set the Send Interval to one week. You can edit the digest template on admin/build/mail_edit/subscriptions-digest.

No, sorry, that's not part of Subscriptions.

That kind of functionality would need to be implemented in Event.

What's the state of the art here now? I'm considering starting a custom module for this. Anyone still interested in funding its completion?

I'd be happy to test/read source code/have a look and then assess whether I'd like to push this or try different way. If that sounds good to you, certainly feel free to attach it here, or send it to me directly at ...

What sort of bugs are you looking at?

thanks, regards, &c.

For anyone else who finds this thread there's now a notifications_views module included with Notifications 2.0, haven't tested it yet but I need it for a project I'm doing research on. So basically you just create a view with the details you want emailed and users subscribe to it.

Sean,

I was wondering if you could explain the notifications-view module a bit more. I can't seem to subscribe to views.

I cannot seem to find any documentation on this feature either. Could somebody post some additional information or point to right links?

Sorry for the late reply, I *should* be looking at this in the next few weeks so I'll report back.

Not really interested on any new feature for 5.x. An upgraded module would be nice for 6.x though. Postponing till then.

Hi Jose,

Please forgive my un-postponing this.

Turns out your last note was on my birthday, and with my birthday coming up again, I thought I'd check in on this thread.

I notice that there is a notifications_views module now. Is it possible to do this with that module? (I'm unable to find any documentation on how that would happen).

Beyond that, of course feel free to postpone this again. I just wanted to bump this issue to see if others have found other ways around this issue.

regards and thanks!

Christian

After much searching around, I finally tried writing my own module.

Then, in the middle of that effort, I found this:
http://drupal.org/project/simplenews_scheduler

And there it says:
"Works great with Insert View to place the content of a view into a newsletter. (eg: [view:recent_articles=20])"

... which is just what we need IF your view is set up to show upcoming events!

So far I have Event View working reasonably. Next step, scheduled simplenews articles.

It's a start, and might work for folks checking out this thread.
