Update 330pm Fri Found a second page in the Magic Book that referred to Beatude. The second one did bring up cronjobs. (why two separate pages? Easy to miss #2) So I used the Terminal in Mac OSX to add one like your example that polls (as I understand it) Beatude every half hour. Went back in with Terminal and ran a cronjob -e and it was there. Moreover, went into Apache and found the file, downloaded it and verified its existence exactly as entered. Still no cigar. Reset Beatude within the Dada Admin pane ...Continue Reading

Cronjob? Shoot, no. I just reviewed the Beatude page in the Magic Book again and didn't see a thing about setting a cronjob. I don't care about repeating mailings. I only want to send a single mailer to my list next week at a time when I cannot be here to send it manually. Just like the first example in the Magic Book where you pretend to go to Vegas. There's no mention of setting a cronjob on that example in the book. You just set it to mail at a specified time and let Beatude do its thing. As far as SSH, ...Continue Reading

Here's two things to check: Did you set the cronjob? And if you did, do you have access to the command line (via ssh?) If so, try running the command that you've set in the cronjob right on the command line and see if it works - odds are, if it works for you on the command line, it'll work in the cronjob. For example, if you've set the cronjob to something like this: */5 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/youraccount/cgi-bin/plugins/ scheduled_mailings.pl --run Running it right from the command line: prompt:]/usr ...Continue Reading

First time I've tried Beatude. (Testing for now, but need it next week) The comments are removed in config.pm so it should be fully active In fact, it is active in the Admin panel. Noted that the server time is an hour ahead of local. Clicked the active button Set up a message, both text and html Sent "Test to mailing list owner" and got it fine. Then set one up, compensating for server time, set it to fire in 15 minutes (again, server time) Clicked to "only send this schedule to list owner" Cli ...Continue Reading

The other issue is if you could, would you want to? Since you're gonna break any links to the archives, any forms used for subscriptions and links embedded in emails for subscription/ unsubscription confirmation, etc, etc, etc. *That's* why there's a, "hey!

A while back I asked the question in the forum if there was a way to change a list's short name and then the forum went down before I saw the final answer. As I remember, the first answer was that it was not possible. I then asked if it could be changed by searching every file in the whole installation and replacing the old short name with a new one. Would that work? ...Continue Reading

Justin, Congrats appreciated but definitely not deserved. It wasn't that big a project. Perhaps not quite the rage you may have hoped for, either. Remember also, I did it for my HOA. I just always publish anything I write for Joomla. And in this case it is the least I can do to repay the benefits I get from Dada Mail. You may want to read the PDF file inside the zip archive if you downloaded it. You'll see it's the simplest of interfaces; everything is automated and integrated as one would probably assume it sh ...Continue Reading

Congratulations of the release Bruce - sorry I haven't yet tried it out personally. I've put your announcement on the Dada Mail home page to help spread the word - I see it's been approved on the Joomla Community Extensions website. Cheers, ...Continue Reading
