3.- Configuration
Before starting explaining the configuration options, I want to inform you that as a way to keep the mod compatible with the earlier vB3.x versions, I've included a css file at foromomail/css/. ForoMail is using it when sending community newsletters, so you need to edit it to give the newsletters your site's look. It uses vB3 stylevar name (eg thead, alt1 etc), so you'll easily understand it. And now let's start with configuring the mod to work:
GENERAL OPTIONS
License Key: Not in use
vBulletin4 version: If you're using vB4 set it to YES. If you're using vB3.x set it to NO.
Confirm Subscription: This applies when a user subscribes to any mailinglist from the subscription form. If you set it to YES, an email will be send to potential subscribet with a link which he must clicks to confirm his subscription.
Confirm Unsubscription: This applies when a user UNsubscribes from a mailinglist using the subscription form in your site. Is not valid when the user unsubscribes clicking the link in the email. That unsubscription is final. But unsubscription using the form needs this step to ensure that the real email owner asked to unsubscribe.
Unsubscribe link. By setting it to YES every email will contains an unsubscription link giving the subscriber the ability to unsubscribe. Setting it to No, most probably you're breaking the law, but it's up to you.
Ignore user settings: Similar to the above, but for those who have turn off the receive emails from admins.
Custom Fields: To give the option to your members to subscribe or not to the community newsletter you must setup 2 profile fields. One (text, not required) keeping the name and the other (Radio button, Required, Default the first option) which keeps his choice. Then assign to general options the following values:
Custom field: Name: eg field5
Custom field: Subscribe: eg field6
Positive value for subscription: eg Yes. Please be aware to write it exacty as you entered it whe you setup the choices, especially if you're using a non English Language.
Test email: Set an email address where a test email will be send for preview. Usally this must be your own email address.
Long and Short Date Formats: Set the date format of your choice. More information from available format you can find here (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php).
Editor Character set: Is the character set to use in the outgoing Emails
Editor Text direction: As above for text direction (ltr or rtl)
Posts per page: Controls how many records will be show per page (Usally in when you're viewing the subscribers list.
Template Header and Template Footer: If you want to give a personal touch in your newsletters, add HTML code for header and footer here. Please note that the header template must start with < html > and the footer ends with < / html>.
