CbMailing
  Got it working, but important notes..., November 18, 2007 |
Got it working after a lot of arm-wrestling, but I'm very grateful for this plug-in.
1) It appears to be abandoned...there's no documentation.
2) There is a version 1.1 and 2.0. 2.0 did not install for me (I got errors upon install in Joomla 1.0.13). I installed 1.1, but it is fatally buggy and will mail all users in all groups.
3) As a workaround, I installed 1.1, then went into my site via FTP, into the administration/components directory, and manually replaced the 1.1 files with 2.0 files. This worked perfectly!
4) The best thing is that CbMailing sees the CB lists I've set up (e.g. blue team, red team) and lets me mail them directly. It works perfectly.
5) Downside: the CbMailing component doesn't work from the site frontend. You must access it from the backend. If you try to link to it from the front end, it won't work.
I wish this was finished properly, but until it is, it's the only extension out there that lets you selectively mail groups of CB users en masse, and for that, I'm very grateful it's working at all!
