Description
This plugin allows site administrators to easily contact their users via email, via a couple of easy to use screens. Site administrators can either send emails to a user or a group of users (or even to an "external" email address which is not registered to any user) There is a "user selector" that allows to select any of the users available in the site, as well to a few predefined groups of users:
- All users in the site
- All active users
- All disabled/inactive users
- All unconfirmed users
These pre-defined groups can be expanded if necessary by adding a bit of extra code to the plugin if necessary.
Configuration
There is no need to do any special configuration to get the plugin running. Just unzip the plugin .zip file to the plugins/ folder as with any other plugin. The plugin will create a database table to store the sent mails (called plog_mailcentre_sent) and will register a new group of options under the "Administration" top menu bar option: "New Mail" and "Sent Mails". The first one allows to create new email messages while the second one will show all the messages that have been sent so far.
In order to select a particular user or group of users, use the "Find recipient..." link, which will open a pop-up window listing all the available users and the user groups on top of the page. It is also possible to filter users by their status. Clicking a user name will automatically add the user's email address to the correct textbox, as many users as necessary can be added.
Notes
It is not possible to do any changes to previously sent messges, nor to save message as draft.
