:: Joomla Integration and Dada Mail

We're very excited to announce that a Dada Mail user named Bruce Scherzinger has contributed to the Dada Mail project with his own independent project to help you work integrate Dada Mail and Joomla!

Here's more information:

http://extensions joomla org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,2206/Itemid,35/

It states:

"This Community Builder plug-in implements a bridge between Dada Mail and Joomla that allows site members to manage their subscriptions to email lists from their CB profiles "

Give it a try and let Bruce know how much you appreciate his work! I'm pretty positive that this plugin for Joomla will become more popular than Dada Mail itself However that would work

:: Dada Mail 2 11 Alpha 5 Available

I'm also happy to announce the immediate availability of Dada Mail, 2 11 Alpha 5

• 2 11 Alpha 5 zip distribution:

http://downloads sourceforge net/mojomail/dada-2_11-alpha_5 zip?download

This is a feature-only release, based on Dada Mail 2 10 13 It brings some exciting features to Dada Mail, specifically to the Mailing Monitor part of Dada Mail If you've used that part of Dada Mail extensively, you'll know how valuable and powerful it is Some improvements:

• A limit on how many mailouts may go out at once
• A limit on how long a mailout can sit without doing anything before it becomes, "stale" (and won't be automatically acted upon)
• The ability to pause a mailout
• Mailout queueing support, so your awaiting mailouts don't just disappear

We really need some help in testing out the new features, so if you can, give it a download (for testing purposes only!) and let us know how it fares

The alpha version also has a new extension called, "blog_index cgi", which writes a page of archived messages in a, "blog style", with all the messages in one page We're using it ourselves on the home page of the Dada Mail support site and it may prove to be a popular extension to Dada Mail for people looking to solve multiple problems with a simple, easy and integrated solution

Here's more information on that plugin:

Also, do note that this alpha version has an entire set of its own documentation at:

:: New docs: The Road to Multiple Fields

Finally (whew!), we've put up some, "blue print" docs on how we're going to get multiple fields in Dada Mail We've been hard at work with changing the infrastructure of Dada Mail from the inside out to support such a feature and these docs are working from the outside in, with a bird's eye view of what's going happen to Dada Mail, all the way to programming API's We're still hard at work on the blueprint, but we'd really appreciate your feedback

So, a lot happening in Dada Mail World I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for your continued support to this ever growing and changing project!
