Hi Stefano,
Did you have any luck with the debugging code?
For the moment I’m just copy pasting to create the email.
Thanks,
Giles

Thankyou very much Stefano. It’s the “CE” theme. Login details sent through. I’d be very greatful. I’ll check tomorrow morning with the providor re output buffering.

Oops, Scratch that, I got it to work using theme-3. Must be a fault in my theme code. I’ll start debugging…


<?php
global $newsletter; // Newsletter object
global $post; // Current post managed by WordPress

/*
 * Some variabled are prepared by Newsletter Plus and are available inside the theme,
 * for example the theme options used to build the email body as configured by blog 
 * owner.
 * 
 * $theme_options - is an associative array with theme options: every option starts
 * with "theme_" as required. See the theme-options.php file for details.
 * Inside that array there are the autmated email options as well, if needed.
 * A special value can be present in theme_options and is the "last_run" which indicates
 * when th automated email has been composed last time. Is should be used to find if
 * there are now posts or not.
 * 
 * $is_test - if true it means we are composing an email for test purpose.

$filters['showposts'] = (int)$theme_options['theme_max_posts'];

    $filters['cat'] = implode(',', $theme_options['theme_categories']);

Hi again,

No luck I’m afraid, I tried with three standard themes still no generation.
I feel the problem may lie with the windows server, I’m just not sure where to look.

Thankyou,

Giles

Hi Stefano!

Yes, I’m using a custom theme. It displays fine in the “New Newsletter” page
(ie location is http://sef.org.vn/newsletter/wp-admin/admin.php?page=newsletter_emails_new)
The next step seems to be the problem – it doesnt seem to create the html email.
