Very small and handy newsletter component. Easy to setup and use.Backend works very nice.
However, frontend module has problems with language switching. Although long reported issue, it seems this component/module are not developed very actively, which is a pitty.
Would be also good to have option to just have "subscribe" button on frontend, without the radio buttons and "Go" button.
With some bug fixes and more configurability this could be a great component for every web site.

Hi,
i used letterman before and after upgrading my site (bonuspokerguide.de) to J1.5 i look for a working Newsletter Component.
First i tried ccnewsletter and this is also a nice comp, but i missed the "composing" option so hardly and hera you are! ^^
I dont find another non-commercial NL comp with this feature, so i am back on communicator.
Keep on the great work.
Just a wish for oe of the next releases:
It would be great to select subscribers before sending a newsletter, because sometimes i wish to send a specific one ...
Thats all.
Greets,
Markus

This is a very good Newsletter component. I gave it 4 stars because I found something need to be improved.
1. The frontend can't use my language file, though I had already uploaded my Chinese translation. At the same time, the backend can use my language file. So the author should check the mechanism of frontend multi-lingual support.
2. When I choose All from the Display # list at frontend, this component said "No results were found", but when I chose the number of 5, it can show me the sample newsletter there. Then, do you mean All can't include the one showing in 5 ?
3. The author offered language file for the module, but I can't find those parameters in this language file. Please add them so I can make a complete translation.
Thanks to the author(s)!

Although the shining reviews may be a positive apparently there has been some warning not to install on certain servers.
Refer to a review on lazybackup and how demo mode continues to backup over and over causing a concern with server overloads.

Owner's reply
Hi - lazybackup has nothing to do with this program - and works on most sites like everything else in here :o)
Those who have serves not good to joomla cant expect all extensions to work correct however !
I was looking for a general purpose and simple newsletter component, and this one really fits my needs. The only limit is you have a single newsletter for the whole site.
Honor to the component developers!
There are only two small things i'd like to see in future releases:
1- A news classification flag, to distinguish between public and registered news
2- Simpler news list in the frontend only the title and publish date, with a link to the full letter
by the way, a very good component

Easy to set up and very effective. I had a small problem at the beginning but thanks to great support from the creator on his forum I worked through it no problem. I recommend this to anyone looking for newsletter component. Cant wait to see what the next release holds. Thanks Stefan!
