Q: Hi there, can you style this module?
A: If you mean change layout and style class, this module uses standard dnn classes, it hasn't its own css.
Anyway you could change look and feel changing file ViewNewsSubscription.ascx, but this will be override upgrading to new versions.

Q: Thanks for the module - it works a treat, however I want to clarify the user import functionality.
1. I exported the current list of users to xml from the module menu.
2. I populated the xml file with new users and saved the file to the portal root.
3. From the module menu I select import content and selected the file saved.
Though there are no errors in this process, no new users appear in the database users table?
Can you please let me know if this process is correct and if you are aware of any gotchas I should be aware of? I see that users registered by the module itself have a unique username like "newsid452HC91Y@V"? Thanks
A: Hello Denis,
the process seems right.
yes each user have a unique auto-generated username.
May be that email of that users already exists in db ?
Did you checked events for an error about importing process ?
Anyway if you want send me a copy of your xml or a similar version, let me know if your settings is different from default, i will test it in my enviroment.
best regards,
paolo.

Q: I just purchased your module for a client site and they are wanting to export the users into a csv format? Is this possible with your module and if so, how?
Thank you!
Kristine
A: Hello Kristine,
the export feature follows the DNN standard which uses xml files to export module content.
Here you are an example of exporting/importing file for NewsSubscription, as you can see the structure is very simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<content type="NewsSubscription" version="01.02.06">
<NewsSubscription>
<User>User1;user1@user1.it</User>
<User>User2;user1@user2.it</User>
<User>User3;user1@user3.it</User>
<User>User4;user1@user4.it</User>
</NewsSubscription>
</content>
Paolo.

Q: Hi, How exactly do we export the list? I have noticed in the rules section of DNN it does not show their email adds? Can you help. Im new to DNN and it could be quite simple. thanks.
A: This feature follow the DotNetNuke standard for content import/export.
As for all modules supporting import/export you should find it in the dropdown module menu.
You have to build a simple xml file conteining something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<content type="NewsSubscription" version="01.02.06">
<NewsSubscription>
<User>User1;user1@user1.it</User>
<User>User2;user1@user2.it</User>
<User>User3;user1@user3.it</User>
<User>User4;user1@user4.it</User>
</NewsSubscription>
</content>
I suggest you to export a sample file first and then change it.

Q: Hi,
I just purchased your module. I am using it in a .css based portal and I see that it uses styles that are in the default.css thus conflicting with those styles being used in other areas of the site. Can you tell that I am fairly new to this?
Is there a file that I can adjust to apply custom styles to the module without messing the whole thing up?
Thanks
A: In the code I'm usingonly 3 class:
- .NormalTextBox
- .Normal
- .NormalBold
You should find a way to ovverride these classes, here you are 2 possible ways to override default.css:
1- if you have access to code open file /deasktopModules/NewsSubscription/ViewNewsSubscription.aspx, include all HTML code (afetr the last @ regsister) ina a div: <div id="NewsSubscription">......</div>, the in you skin.css overryde the siles, fo example #NewsSubscription .NormalBold{...}
2- load your page in a browser, see HTML, se the id control parent of the tag you would like to chabge style, add a class like #[mycontrolid] .NormalBold{}, this second way isn't valid for all pages

Q: With this module, is it possible to allow the registered user to select from a variety of lists to subscribe to?
A: Each module registers users in a Role which you can define, to accomplish this request you could add more modules in a page each one with a different role
-
Q: I would like to know about the license. I would like to know up to how many sites it will cover license
A: the only thing you should not do is to deploy/release/resell to third parties the module, you should be the owner of the dnn site/instance where you are installing the module, no limitaton about sites number.
-
Q: Can this module be used to mass-subscribe a group of e-mail addresses that have been collected by other methods?
A: I’m going to realease a version where you can import /export an xml file containing a list of name/email
I hope about 2-3 days.
Paolo.

Q: Hi Paolo, My site doesn't have registered users but I would like to have visitors subscribe to my emeil newsletter. Is NewsSubscription 1.2 the right module for this?
A: Yes it is !
NewsSubscription create for each subscription one disabled dnn user, with random password. The user doesn't need to logon or know his dnn account credentials.

Q: Hi, I like your module but :
- if an user is already registered can we have an option to disable email in your module (user can change email only in his profil) ?
- if a user is not login and try to add an email but this email is already registered in an dnn account, can you force the user to login before subscription
- if a user is already registered with your module and create after this a dnn account with the same email, can you create a shedule task to delete your previous dummy account ?
Great regards
Roland
A: Hallo Roland,
thanks for your suggestions.
About first point I'm gonna change the code to simply add the existing user to Newsletterrole without changing anything on his account.
I could also add a checkbox in settings to redirect existing email to login page and after login the NewsSubscription will appear as only a link: "Join"
I'm gonna add also a button on settings too purge unsubscrbibed users, but if the users registers after subscribing to nesletter I should add all role of the dummy user to the regitered one, correct ?
I'm gonna make these enanchements in about a week.
Paolo.
