Benni Mack has implemented a feature, which is called "Draft Mailin". User needs to create a page as direct_mail object. a second scheduler task creates and send a second direct_mail object based in the first one, which is created from the user.
Feature is commited in SVN. Manual need to be updated. Please test the latest from SVN.

I would love to try it, but the SVN Version isn't working for me...
It just does nothing and stays on step 5 when the draft-mode is checked.
Is there any t3x of a build that has this feature in a working state?

please read the documentation. there's another scheduler job, which you need to set up.

Hi,
okay got it to work now - well it did, but not with the old cronjob way.
With the scheduler it works.
Still "step 5" seems to be broken/buggy since it doesn't give any feedback, it's just blank - except from the "step 5" thing.
In former versions it used to state something like "newsletter created" - the lack of this could be (and was) confusing to users.
Great work on the drafts thing!

I just noticed it's not really working as expected....
I set up the scheduler to create the new Newsletter... but still it only sends a copy of the state it had when i first created the draft.
I'm trying to send a list of news, but it only sends the list of news it had wehen i first created the draft.
How do i have to set it up so that it sends a NEW Version of the page i'm trying to send on a regular basis.
... or is this still a bug?

Hello to anyone who might read this...
i tried to dig into the reason things are not working out for me, and after some diggin i found what caused the "bug"...
Things work fine, when you set a domain-record in your system and select it in the direct_mail settings!
If you don't have a domain-record and specify it in the direct_mail setup you're able to send normal newsletters, but if you try the draft-functionality
it won't work because the getUrlBase function in class.tx_directmail_static.php returns an unsuable URL to the System so it can't use the fetchHTML($file) and quits - therefore not replacing the old draft contents created when starting the first time.
I don't really get why this works the first time you set up the draft though....
So setting up the domain-record is a work-around that works.
Still it would be great if someone could find the reason it works on the first time.. so users can use it without domain-records.
cheers,
Markus
