| Hello,
I just subscribed to this list to ask the following question.
Is there any plan to develop a newsletter PEAR package (MAIL_Newsletter).
Roughly I'm looking for some basic newsletter distribution
functionality. I know there are tons of out of the box maillist scripts.
But they all include their own admin pages and security stuff. I just
want to add some basic functionality to my website and wrap LiveUser
security functionality around it.
I can think of a package with 3 classes.
- Subscription Management which offers methods such as
subscribe
confirm_subscription
unsubscribe
confirm_unsubscription
(or a general confirm method)
- Subscriber Management which offers methods such as
getSubscriber(s)
setSubscriber
deleteSubscriber
- Newsletter Management which offers methods such as
sendNewsletter
getArchivedNewsletters
get/set/deleteNewsletter
Well I guess you understand what I'm looking for.
Off course this can heavily rely on other PEAR packages such as DB (for
subscriber and archived newsletter storage), Mail_Queue, Mail_MIME and
probably some others.
Is this something that can be put in a PEAR package or is it against
PEAR concepts??
Of course I could try and program this myself, but I don't think I'm the
right person because:
- I don't have enough time
- My php skills aren't good enough I guess
Anyone feeling urged to develop a thing like this??
Otherwise I progran something myself for my website and eventually
rewrite it into a PEAR package proposal.
regards,
Tim
