We need some additional features for a project of ours... but think they could
be useful for all. Therefore we're planning to extend the mail module. Now
before we start hacking I wanted to coordinate our efforts here - especially
since we're currently working on Mag 4.2.3 code base.
What we intend to add:
- a WebPageMail class extending MgnlPageEmail to allow sending the contents of
an arbitrary URL
This currently does not work with MgnlPageEmail because it relies on having a
URL which contains MgnlContext.contextPath()
- inclusion of JavaScript files as it's done with CSS files: What do you think?
Waste of time since JavaScript is not supported well enough in the email
clients?
- a parameter to control the inclusion of images as attachements, CSS and
JavaScripts in the head
- a SerialMailCommand extending MailCommand supporting the production and
delivery of serial mails
- personalized serial mails would need to first set the body and then
process freemarker tags in the body for each mail (and of course also in the
subject)
- configurations settings for the mail delivery to be stored and used
(e.g. how many mails to be sent in a batch, how big of a break between each
batch, reconnection to the mail server after how many mails)
And I could think of more stuff, but that should do it for starters.
We would appreciate your feedback on this:
- Do you disagree on the features listed above?
- Did anyone already implement some of the stuff?
- Do we need to pay attention to something else?
Thanks!
