DESCRIPTION
-----------

Simplenews publishes and sends newsletters to lists of subscribers. Both
anonymous and authenticated users can opt-in to different mailing lists.
HTML email can be sent by adding Mime mail module.


REQUIREMENTS
------------

* For large mailing lists, cron is required.
* HTML-format newsletters and/or newsletters with file attachments require the
mime mail or HMTL mail module.
* When sending newsletters on regular cron (cron.php), it is important that
the base url (settings.php, variable $base_url) is set correctly or links
inside the newsletter will not work. See the Tips (13.) below.
* Additionally when using Drush to start cron, it is important to use the
argument --uri=http://www.example.com


INSTALLATION
------------

1. CREATE DIRECTORY

Create a new directory "simplenews" in the sites/all/modules directory and
place the entire contents of this simplenews folder in it.

2. ENABLE THE MODULE

Enable the module on the Modules admin page.

3. ACCESS PERMISSION

Grant the access at the Access control page:
People > Permissions.

4. CONFIGURE SIMPLENEWS

Configure Simplenews on the Simplenews admin pages:
Configuration > Simplenews.

Enable new content types to use as newsletter:
Structure > edit content type > Publishing options

Add and configure newsletter categories:
Structure > Web Services > Newsletters > Add newsletter category
Structure > Web Services > Newsletters > edit newsletter category

5. ENABLE SIMPLENEWS BLOCK

With the Simplenews block users can subscribe to a newsletter.

Enable a Simplenews block per Newsletter category:
Structure > Newsletters > edit newsletter category

6. CONFIGURE SIMPLENEWS BLOCK

Configure the Simplenews block on the Block configuration page. You reach
this page from Block admin page (Structure > Blocks).
Click the 'Configure' link of the appropriate simplenews block.

Permission "subscribe to newsletters" is required to view the subscription
form in the simplenews block or to view the link to the subscription form.

7. SIMPLENEWS BLOCK THEMING

More control over the content of simplenews blocks can be achieved using
the block theming. Theme your simplenews block by copying
simplenews-block.tpl.php into your theme directory and edit the content.
The file is self documented listing all available variables.

The newsletter block can be themed generally and per newsletter:
simplenews-block.tpl.php (for all newsletters)
simplenews-block.tpl--[tid].php (for newsletter series tid)

8. MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT

Simplenews supports multilingual newsletters for node translation,
multilingual taxonomy and url path prefixes.

When translated newsletter issues are available subscribers receive the
newsletter in their preferred language (according to account setting).
Translation module is required for newsletter translation.

Multilingual taxonomy of 'Localized terms' and 'per language terms' is
supported. 'per language vocabulary' is not supported.
I18n-taxonomy module is required.
Use 'Localized terms' for a multilingual newsletter. Taxonomy terms are
translated and translated newsletters are each tagged with the same
(translated) term. Subscribers receive the newsletter in the preferred
language set in their account settings or in the site default language.
Use 'per language terms' for mailing lists each with a different language.
Newsletters of different language each have their own tag and own list of
subscribers.

Path prefixes are added to footer message according to the subscribers
preferred language.

The preferred language of anonymous users is set based on the interface
language of the page they visit for subscription. Anonymous users can NOT
change their preferred language. Users with an account on the site will be
subscribed with the preferred language as set in their account settings.

The confirmation mails can be translated by enableding the Simplenews
variables at:
Home > Administration > Configuration > Regional and language > Multilingual settings > Variables
Afterwards, the mail subject and body can be entered for every enabled
language.

9. NEWSLETTER THEMING

You can customize the theming of newsletters. Copy any of the *.tpl.php
files from the simplenews module directory to your theme directory. Both
general and by-newsletter theming can be performed.
Theme newsletter body:
simplenews-newsletter-body.tpl.php (for all newsletters)
simplenews-newsletter-body--[tid].tpl.php
simplenews-newsletter-body--[view mode].tpl.php
simplenews-newsletter-body--[tid]--[view mode].tpl.php

[tid]: Machine readable name of the newsletter category
[view mode]: 'email-plain', 'email-html', 'email-textalt'
Example:
simplenews-newsletter-body--1--email-plain.tpl.php

Theme newsletter footer:
simplenews-newsletter-footer.tpl.php (for all newsletters)
simplenews-newsletter-footer--[tid].tpl.php
simplenews-newsletter-footer--[view mode].tpl.php
simplenews-newsletter-footer--[tid]--[view mode].tpl.php

[tid]: Machine readable name of the newsletter category
[view mode]: 'email-plain', 'email-html', 'email-textalt'
Example:
simplenews-newsletter-footer--1--email-plain.tpl.php

The template files are self documented listing all available variables.
Depending on how the mails are sent (e.g. how cron is triggered), either the
default or the admin theme might be used, if one has been configured.
To prevent this, Simplenews supports the mail theme setting from the
mailsystem module (http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem). Install it, choose
the mail theme and the newsletter templates from that theme will be used no
matter which other themes are enabled.

Using the fields Display settings each field of a simplenews newsletter can
be displayed or hidden in 'plain text', 'HTML' and 'HTML text alternative'
format. You find these settings at:
Structure > Content types > Manage display
Enable the view modes you want to configure and configure their display.

10. SEND MAILING LISTS

Cron is required to send large mailing lists.
If you have a medium or large size mailing list (i.e. more than 500
subscribers) always use cron to send the newsletters.

To use cron:
* Check the 'Use cron to send newsletters' checkbox.
* Set the 'Cron throttle' to the number of newsletters send per cron run.
Too high values may lead to mail server overload or you may hit hosting
restrictions. Contact your host.

Don't use cron:
* Uncheck the 'Use cron to send newsletters' checkbox.
All newsletters will be sent immediately when saving the node. If not
all emails can be sent within the available php execution time, the
remainder will be sent by cron. Therefore ALWAYS enable cron.

These settings are found on the Newsletter Settings page under
'Send mail' options at:
Administer > Configuration > Web Services > Newsletters > Settings > Send mail.

11. (UN)SUBSCRIBE CONFIRMATION

By default the unsubscribe link will direct the user to a confirmation page.
Upon confirmation the user is directed to the home page, where a message
will be displayed. On the Simplenews subscription admin page you can
specify an alternative destination page.
Structure > Configuration > Web Services > Newsletters > edit newsletter category > Subscription settings

To skip the confirmation page you can add parameters to the subscription URL.
Example: [simplenews-subscribe-url]/ok
When an alternative destination page has been defined the extra parameters
will be added to the destination URL.
Example: [simplenews-subscriber:subscribe-url]/ok
Destination: node/123
Destination URL: node/123/ok

12. SINGLE OR DOUBLE OPT-IN AND OPT-OUT

Every newsletter can be set to be double opt-in/out (default), single
opt-in/out, or hidden.

Double: A confirmation email is sent to confirm the (un)subscribe action.
No confirmation is sent when a user is (un)subscribed by the
administrator or when the user subscribes when creating an account.
Single: No confirmation email is sent. (un)subscribe is immediately.
Hidden: The newsletter is not listed in newsletter lists. Use this for
mandatory newsletters. Only administrators or modules can add a user to this
mailing list.

Note that single opt-in/out or hidden (forced) subscription is in some
countries forbidden by law.

SECURITY NOTICE: a newsletter set to be single opt-in or opt-out is
vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgeries. Email addresses may be
(un)subscribed without a notice. Do not use this setting in uncontrolled
environments (like the internet!).

13. TIPS
A subscription page is available at: /newsletter/subscriptions

The Elysia Cron module (http://drupal.org/project/elysia_cron) can be used
to start the simplenews cron hook more often than others, so that newsletter
are sent faster without decreasing site performance due to long-running cron
hooks.

If your unsubscribe URL looks like:
http://newsletter/confirm/remove/8acd182182615t632
instead of:
http://www.example.com/newsletter/confirm/remove/8acd182182615t632
You should change the base URL in the settings.php file from
# $base_url = 'http://www.example.com'; // NO trailing slash!
to
$base_url = 'http://www.example.com'; // NO trailing slash!
