I've installed the CCNewsletter and it's simple and nice features to use. But is there any handling of bounced email and allows the admin to delist the subscriber ?

I like this newsletter program. Simple, straightforward and administration is easy. BUT, it lacks a way to show archives and a link for viewing in case it can't be viewed as a newsletter. I don't care about multiple mailing lists, but archiving and viewability is a must.

This extension is really nice, simple, lean and does the job. The only downfall at the moment is that the automatic unsubscribe link doesn't work (because SEF or perhaps JCE..?).

But I at the moment I have managed to work around this downfall by not putting the automatic unsubcribe link on the newsletter, but providing a link to unsubsribe form on the site. So this is not invincible problem. But hopefully, this issue has been worked on for the next release..?

This isn't the best option I could think of. For starters, it requires that users submit their name in addition to email addresses, and there's no preference to control this validation requirement. Why?
very simple straightforward Newsletter Component I ever found. It's work PERFECTLY! Thank you! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL JOOMLA! USERS!!

I'm looking at extensions normally from a totally different perspective. I don't care about fancy icons or marketing talk. I care about lean and consistent code and that an extension does not use hidden features.

ccNewsletter is a very positive example for such a code. The Joomla 1.5 framework is used nicely and the extension supports the MVC model in all aspects.

Great job - thx

I tried the extension and was pleased with it for the most part. All but one thing really work very well.

My attempt to add custom table backgrounds proved a complete fail. I was completely unable to do so.
Looking through the support section of their website it appeared to me that the support individuals really didn't offer just a whole lot of help to people.
It looked like most more experienced users attempted to help each other out but for my particular problem - to no avail.

As a base extension, if you don't plan on having a custom header and footer for your newsletter, then this is a great component.

But tables are wacky to alter and it won't save backgrounds. Oh well.

Hi

The background and table issue you encountered have to do with the WYSIWYG editor used. Writing a newsletter directly in HTML and CSS will give you most control, but if you want to use a WYSIWYG editor, please make sure you have configured it to work with newsletters. In other words: URLs to absolute etc. Please contact me if you still cant get this to work.

And as stated in the manual: ccNewsletter is given as a as-is-where-is extension. Support via the forum is for users to help each other and we only give support when time is available.

Kind regards
David-Andrew

It worked and was easy. Maybe in the future a template feature could be added and some more tags that can be placed in emails besides name and the unsubscribe url. Love it.

This component has saved me so much time and anguish! It's fantastic. I had migrated over from another newsletter system which was put together with sticky tape - CCNewsletter is solid and functional. I was able to import all my contacts from my previous newsletter system like a breeze! Not to mention their friendly and helpful support!
A very good newsletter Extension which I was exactly looking for. The module works fine to add new subscribers. But if there is an option to redirect the page to our own 'Thank you' message page after subscription, on module, instead of the default component thank you page, it will become an awesome extension.
Its working very good. The configuration is very simple. The use is also very easy.

But you can handle only one newsletter. So if you need to have two newsletters because of two different languages you can't use ccNewsletter therefore at the moment.

When I was searching for a newsletter component, most of the extensions I found was either proprietary ones or old components which required legacy mode. After looking at ccNewsletter I was very impressed. It was doing its job very nicely and was very easy to use for my client. One additional advantage of the component is its MVC based code. Thanks to that, I wrote a user plugin and achieved auto-subscription upon registration in 4 lines. Apart from a few untranslated description texts I couldn't find anything bad about it.

Overall, it's a fantastic job. Thanks very much to developers.

Thanks! Can you contact us at info [AT] chillcreations.com about the plugin, we would love to add that to the ccNewsletter 1.0.4 package which we are now finishing.

Awesome..very simple and efficient. works as advertised..

Only thing and very important feature would be to be able to Redirect the user to a page of admin's choice after they sign up for newsletter..Can you please see if you can implement this in settings area?

I was looking for a newsletter component for my 'Virtuemart ready' website and found ccNewsletter.
Worked perfectly! Its built for joomla 1.5, supports VM, installation and configuration took 5 secs, easy to understand/use.
I tried Yacn and letterman but they are both complicated (to me) and require Legacy plugin (no joomla 1.5 supported)

I downloaded this newsletter com and mod and it works great. I had an issue that I couldn't find in the forums and gor a response in minutes after sending an email. Easy to install and easy to use. Thank you for ccNewsletter...
