CMFNewsletter (1.1)

Released on 2004-03-21 by Nikolay Kim, Gerry Kirk, Damon Lynch for Plone 2.0.x under GPL - GNU General Public License available for All platforms.
Software development stage: development
CMFNewsletter enables you to create one or more newsletters for your site. Each newsletter gathers content using topic-based criteria. Subscription can be restricted to members only, made available to anonymous or another custom set of members, via workflow guards.
Subscription is done via the web, and by email if you set up PortalTransport
and an email address for your newsletter.

The newsletter is a page template, which you can customize. You can also
invoke a pre-processing script before the newsletter is generated, which
is useful for adding additional email header data or manipulating the content
gathered.

Newsletters are kept by default in the portal_newsletters tool, because
normally newsletters should not be viewed in the site - only by receiving
through email. There is no archiving option to view older newsletters. You can add
and manage newsletters through the control panel. It is possible to create
newsletters outside of the tool, by checking the Implicitly Addable property
of the Newsletter content type in portal_types.

Subscribers are given the option of subscribing in two (optionally three)
formats: plain text, HTML (and PDF). You can specify whether subscribers
have the option of subscribing in PDF format or not.

PDFs are constucted using CMFReportTool, and the templates managed with
PDFTemplate. Because the templates are Zope Page Templates, this gives
you a lot of flexibility in what goes into a PDF and what it should look
like.
