CbMailing Component

A mailing component for Community Builder (CB). This component can send mailings to Community Builder defined groups.

2010/03/20 - Contact e-mail address updated. Apologies to anyone who tried to contact me at the previous address which no longer works.

2009/04/15 - V2.3.4 released - This is in two streams: one for Joomla! 1.0 (including Joomla! 1.5 Legacy Mode) and, now, one for Joomla! 1.5 Native Mode.

At 2.3, added the facility to list who can e-mail whom (without mailing them) to help check the list definitions and permissions are set as desired. Also, fixed a major CB list interpretion bug (oops, sorry all!). Oh, and there's a French (fr-FR) translation included, kindly provided by Lionel Charrier.

At 2.2, support for multiple e-mail addresses has been added so that if your CB field definitions include more than one e-mail address, these too can be e-mailed (controlled by a global CbMailing option).

As of 2.1, there is a configuration panel allowing administrator selection of different mail delivery methods. Also, there is now a short user guide. 2.1 also fixes (as far as we know) the problems reported here with 2.0.

As of 2.x, it has a front end component allowing selected users to send to CB defined lists.

Many thanks to Erik Happaerts for starting this excellent project and being prepared to pass it on to other hands.

This would be a nice component if it also worked from the front end, so that any member can easily send the other members an email.

Unless I am doing something wrong, this sent it to all my CB users. I created a test CB list with one name in it, ie me... then chose it as the mailing destination. It delivered the message to my whole community...
