Newsletter Manager
Documentation
Version 1.1
To install the Newsletter Manager first make a folder on your server called newsletter or whatever else you want. Then upload all the files in the zip file to the folder on your server. Now make a MySQL database via you control panel for the script to use. Once you have done that open you web browser up and type in the address of the folder you put the files in e.g. http://www.example.com/newsletter/ and add install.php to the end so it looks like this: http://www.example.com/newsletter/install.php.
Next there should be a form that comes up just fill it in and hit the install button, After that it should say "Newsletter installed successfully" once you see that delete the file install.php which you uploaded. Well done that is it, it is all installed with the default settings. You can go get a drink and have a nice long rest.
To add emails to the newsletter list just login to the admin area and click "Add User" then enter the email address you want to add and click add, that’s it.
To add a whole list of emails click the link "Upload Users" in the admin area and then upload the list. To make a list get all the emails you want and put them in this format in a text file:
EMAIL tab VER new line
Replace EMAIL with the email you want to put in, VER with 1. All VER is for is if the user has confirmed their email or not by setting it to 1 it is saying they have and since your adding them you want them to be confirmed.
If you need help with this please email us at: admin@free-php.org.uk
To delete an email click "Delete user" in the admin area and click on the email you want to delete. After doing that the email is removed forever! The only way you can get it back is re adding it but you must remember it to remove it.
To back up your list of emails in the newsletter click "Download Users" in the admin area and save them in a safe place. If you ever need to add them again because something went wrong with the database see adding emails in this documentation.
To send an email click "Compose" in the admin area, then type your newsletter in and click "send" once you have done that it will start sending your newsletter out. That’s it.
