CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

This is to further integrate drupal (with its rss feeds) and with civimail newsletters. Is this possible? Or is there another way of doing it?

What i'm trying to achieve is to prevent from having two sets of the same content posted in our drupal site and re-create it for our newsletter. I just want to have it typed once, and have it automatically sent out for our newsletters.

Anyone? Thanks in advance.

sweet, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Hello,
Just wondering if the module has been updated for Drupal 6?

I notice that the issue is still open and likely to be part of CiviCRM V3. Is there any option for the current Civi release and Drupal 6?

We just got it working in D5 and it was great, now moved to D6 and hoping for a solution that allows us to gather nodes and send as an email newsletter.

Thanks,
gma.

i started trying to upgrade the module but ran into issues with it. I sent an email to the original developer back in October of 08 with this in it:

I made a few small changes, but basically the 'generate' newsletters button doesn't return anything. Debugging this gave me a pretty big headache as I'm really not that familiar with this module and couldn't figure out exactly where the problem is. Nothing happens upon generation and it continues to say 'no main node set for newsletter'.

My goal was to get the original module working, then re-integrate where we had gotten with the CiviMail piece. I was going to make a separate button that says 'send newsletter to civimail' and the put in the functionality lobo and i wrote.

I'm attaching the module as it stands now (I am not able to attach it to this forum because it's too large in size. If anyone wants it, PM me with your email address and I will send it directly to you). You'll see that in the folder there is a ninjitsu_newsletter.civimodule file; that's where the d5 code was with CiviCRM  integration. But the 6 file that I started actively working on is the regular module file, and it would be good to get that working first!

Here are the only changes I made:
- updated the hook_menu calls to d6 as they weren't working/caching properly - while i was at it i renamed the settings page from ninjitsu_newsletter/admin/settings to admin/settings/ninjitsu newsletter (this link is now also on admin/by-module page)
- updated the help section to reflect those changes
- updated the node_load calls after using taxonomy_select_nodes as the node_load wasn't returning proper information. For example
ninjitsu_newsletter_get_issue_drop_down_data wasn't returning anything; changed $nnode = node_load($nnode) to $nnode = node_load($nnode->nid);
did the same for ninjitsu_newsletter_get_issue_nodes
