I’m back

whoaaa. it’s been almost a half year since my post. I just didn’t have time (and also internet access at home)

But there’re lots happened since my last post.

1. I’m a student once more ( Industrial engineering and management) and in my second semester.
2. I’m using a Mac now got a Macbook Pro. Although it’s not the new one with multitouch pad, but i’m pretty existed using mac.
3. Direct mail’s development is stalled. for a moment… I don’t have time to do some bug fixing. But I’m trying to create a new mailing engine (maybe based on phpmailer, since I think it’s mature enough)
4. and I think I’m coming home in September.

Direct Mail 2.5.2

Hello Folks,

for those who thinks, that this blog is no longer active, you’re wrong. There are just lots happening to me in the last 2 months, that took and will take lots of my time. So I’ll just make s short post.

Direct Mail 2.5.2 is just released in TER [1]. For you who still have 2.5.1, you should update to this version, since there are some minor and major bug fixes and 2 or 3 new feature. Read changelog for more details.

To support on developing this extension, you can give me your patches, idea, or money
You know how to contact me, right?

Direct Mail 2.5.1 in TER

For those, who are interested in Direct Mail 2.5.x, you can get it from TER. It really took along time till it’s released in TER. Feedback or bug report can be emailed to me or in TYPO3 Bugtracker

That’s all folks. Have fun with the new Direct Mail (^_^)

HTML Newsletter

HTML as email can sometimes really annoying. It’s easier to code some HTML for website instead for a simple HTML-based email.

For a website you have to check it on some browsers, the most used one like Firefox, MSIE , Opera, Safari and some browsers from Linux OS. But sometimes it’s enough only to check it on MSIE (6 and 7), Firefox (Win, Linux and Mac should show the same effect since it uses the same rendering engine), Safari (on Mac, but since there’s one for Windows should check on this one in the future).

But for a HTML-based email, how are you going to check if it has still the same layout. There’s plenty of email client out there, not including web-based email service. Since I have to code some pages based on TYPO3 for our costumer to send some “spam” using Direct Mail Extension, I know more or less some tips how to do this.

Too lazy

been to lazy lately to write something here, although there’s been lot happening in the last weeks.
