J!MailAlerts V2.4 is here with Data tags, Ads in Email & Joomla 1.7 Support !

JmailAlertsJ!MailAlerts 2.4 is now available & comes with a host of bug fixes & addition of 2 Major features.With this version we add the ability to pass data to the plugin tags & use the tags multiple times in the JMA template. For instance, you can now use the JMA latest news tags like [jma_latestnews_js|secid=1|catid=1,3,32] & pass it the parameters that are normally stored in the plugin params ( just like you would with Joomla content plugins) . This adds a mightly lot of flexibility to JMA plugins. Please read the documentation in this relation.

The second Big feature is the ability to send insert Ads ( using our SocialAds extension) in JMA Mails. So now your advertisements can reach your users via email even if they havent visited your site in a while. You can configure the SocialAds JMA plugin to show ads from specific zones in positions you can set in your template using tags. Special care has been taken that an user will never be sent an email only containing Ads. The SA plugin shall only be triggered if there is any other content to send. More details about this will follow in the SocialAds release in a couple of days. The plugin will be part of the SocialAds package.

Another small feature is the addition of a CSS Editor in the JMA template editor. This will make it dead easy to change your JMA template. Just paste the html part of the template in the normal editor & paste the CSS in the CSS window.  Besides these there are tons of other fixes & small features. Plus there is Jooma 1.7 Support !

Update Instructions :  Please note that we are now generating a random Cron Secret Key on every install to ensure your security. So Please update your cron job according to this new key after you upgrade.

All Paid & free plugins have been updated & are available for Download. Please read on for the full changelog. Please note that ver 2.4.1 has been released to fix a bug with the url in simulating the emails

J!MailAlerts 2.0.1 is here

J!MailAlertsWe have released J!MailAlerts 2.0.1 today. It comes with a shiny new interface as well as a huge number of bug fixes. All bugs reported to date have been solved. The new interface makes it easy for frontend users to chose what alerts they want & configure each alert to a level never known before !

Whats New ?

We have pushed in a couple of small but interesting features. One of them is "Respect Last Email Date" . This option in the configuration should be kept on if you want to ensure that emails are sent only if any of the plugins has new content to deliver for the user, however if you want mails to be sent out irrespective of whether the content is new or not, you can switch it off.

The next interesting thing is the verbose debug. We have added this specifically to prove the reliability of the extension & save on support issues & also to give you an insight on how it works. When the Cron runs, a debug is shown in the following manner. Its also logged to a log.txt file in the component admin.

Our own Use case

With a few spicy plugins of our own like the Docman Latest Documents Plugin, Most active User Plugin ( these have not been publicly released yet) , our Intranet is really becoming a nice hub of activity. We hope you achieve the same success with your sites !
