Into the "TDE_Newsletter/config.php" file you will find some constants that allow to edit the confirmation messages.

Please remember to upload the modified "config.php" file to the web site into the "TDE_Newsletter" folder.

Probably your server doesn't the PHP sessions properly configured.

To solve that open the "config.php" file and add the following lines to the beginning of that file:

ini_set("session.save_handler", "files");
session_save_path($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/TDE_CMS/database");

Note: Be sure to use the correct password. The password specified can be found into the config.php file.

The styles are located in the following file: "/TDE_Newsletter/admin/editor/editor/css/fck_editorarea.css"

You can modify the styles there. Be sure to clear your browser cache after any modification.

To make the styles available at your newsletter at customer side you need to link your style file, ex <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://your-web-site/your-styles.css"> at your newsletter CODE.

Additionally, if you want to get the styles dropdown into the editor them you may need to add the new style configuration at file: "/TDE_Newsletter/admin/editor/fckstyles.xml".

Yes, this product can be configured for all PHP environments; it supports simple SMTP, SMTP with authentication, the PHP "mail" function and the standard "sendmail".

If your web hosting required to use an external SMTP server to deliver emails or requires authentication, you can configure it at the config.php file, lines #13-#20:

// If your SMTP server is not the local server, then change it here
define('SMTP_SERVER', 'localhost');

// If your SMTP server requires authentication then set this parameter to true
// and put your username and password here
define('USE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION', false);
define('SMTP_USERNAME', 'your_username');
define('SMTP_PASSWORD', 'your_password');

For authentication, set the value to true instead false, ex:

define('USE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION', true);

With this feature enabled the subscriber will have to click a link to verify his/her email address before being able to receive the newsletters. This helps to ignore the spam registrations and to get a better email flow from the server.

To enable this option, follow these steps:

1. The email verification feature can be enabled/disabled into the file "/TDE_Newsletter/config.php". Open that file and put the value of the constant ENABLE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION to true.
   
   
2. The subscribers database must be empty before overwriting this update. If you have current subscribers then save the email addresses, clean the subscribers database, overwrite the updated files and then re-import the subscribers.
   
   
3. You need to add a newsletter, mark it as "Send this letter automatically after subscription:" and add the text VERIFICATION-LINK in the place you want to show the verification link.
   
   
4. After clicking the verification link the user should be redirected to a thank you/confirmation page. You can specify that page into the file "/TDE_Newsletter/config.php" by putting that page URL into the constant AFTER_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_REDIRECT_TO.

Yes, you can setup the Newsletter System to manually activate the subscribers. You can do that by partially configuring the "Email Verification Option" without sending the verification link to the customer.

To enable this option, follow these steps:

1. The email verification feature can be enabled/disabled into the file "/TDE_Newsletter/config.php". Open that file and put the value of the constant ENABLE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION to true.
   
   
2. The subscribers database must be empty before overwriting this update. If you have current subscribers then save the email addresses, clean the subscribers database, overwrite the updated files and then re-import the subscribers.
   
   
3. No other steps are needed. After subscribed the users will appear as "not active" in the administration area, you can check the user's name & email and manually activate the subscriber from there.
