Hi all,
is it possible to realize a NewsLetter with Alfresco.

Thanks

You will have to explain what you mean by "realize". If you mean "publish", then it is certainly possible to do so.

Hi,
realize=write content/manage/send messages

Yes it is possible. If you can list specific functionality you want to implement we can point you in the right direction.

Hi zaizi,
i'm not an expert of newsletter but i think i need these functionalities:
- give the possibilty to the user to register/unregister to the newsletter
- manage the content of the newsletter with advanced editor
- send the content to all the registered users to the newsletter

Thanks

- give the possibilty to the user to register/unregister to the newsletter

We did this for a customer. You can use the user preference service to store and retrieve which news letters they've registered for.

- manage the content of the newsletter with advanced editor

You can either use the TinyMCE editor online or use Dreamweaver using CIFS to create newsletters.

- send the content to all the registered users to the newsletter

There is out of the box functionality to send emails. You'll need to adapt it to write some code to look up users who have signed up for the news letter.

The additional nice to haves such as dealing with bounced emails, providing support for online viewing, etc.
