hi sandy thanks for the feedback i've decided i don't trust the squelch feature enough (it doesn't seem tunable, i.e. how would one set it to send out an email on an exact date, like the first of the month?); instead i realized and implemented the following:
- i realized that the FoxNotify template allows you to (:include:) other pages (i didn't know that before), so i've included a page that pagelists all of the previous month's new uploads and new contributors. - then i have foxnotify set up to send out the mailing whenever i save the edits on a particular page; so it's not automatic - i just have to go load and save this page at the beginning of the month, and it'll spit out the previous month's junk. anyways, it's the best i could manage, and it's actually not all the bad for what i need, just barely short of the fantasy of an automated system... however, thanks again for the response and the advice. adam > Message: 3 > Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:28:43 -0400 > From: Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [pmwiki-users] monthly notifications of new pages / new > uploads > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > You can use the Notify recipe in the core.
