Mailing List Archives
October 14, 2007, 03:07:17 pm
I didn't see this in here, but what I am thinking is rather than use mailhandler to create archive an additional drupal module or inbuilt support be added to create archive pages for mailing lists by selecting the appropriate mailing list from a drop down and providing a alias for that.  so lets say i have three lists a, b, c (for simplicity).  i would then say i want archives for a so i choose a from the dropdown list and set the url to be archives/a.  when that page is it it shows x (maybe 5) per page news mailings with the ability to click anyone and see it in full.

the only potential problem im seeing rigt now is if someone doesnt publish a html version it might look different on the web...

The HTML version of each mailing can be viewed by linking to the following path: civicrm/mailing/report?reset=1&html=1&mid=38 (where mid is the civicrm_mailing.id value.

For example, with the current data on demo:
http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/mailing/report?reset=1&html=1&mid=38

So the main work involved would be querying the mailings for each civicrm_group where group type is Mailing List - and then creating the listings. If you are interested in developing this feature - contact us on IRC for more guidance.

I do not have my own laptop currently the hard drive failed, but I might look at building something on the drupal side of things to support this and just have it list the newsletter titles that way it is a completely separate tool.  I am also thinking have it break it out into groups based on the mailing list.

To give access to those archived mailings, what permission do I need to give? It would be great to just link to those, but people don't have permission to see them.

Thanks.

i think the mailing report requires both administer civicrm and access civimail at least

it was not meant to be a public report

a public archive of sent mailings has been an often requested feature. if you can contribute code or sponsor a developer to make this happen that would be great. i suspect civireport could be used for this purpose

I also like the idea of a public archive of sent mailings. Could you achieve it by going backwards, i.e. making a new page on the website in a certain area, and setting it up to notify particular groups that the new page is created?
