I need a Mailer Plug In
I guess I'll post this here, I REALLY need to be able to select users in many categories, without selecting all the users in the database to do targeted mailings from my Links databases. Anybody willing to give me an estimate on doing this?

TIA

How are your current users categorized?

I only have the basic user information. Duh, do I need to add a field to the user table? Can I add the category some how to the user table?

... need to be able to select USERS in many categories ... = LINK OWNERS

... do I need to add a field to the user table ... = NO






That should be easy to do ... NOT!

Go to your Links SQL Admin area

Find: "Email" > "Selected Links" > and at the bottom select categories to which you wish to send emails

It's not easy because it doesn't work. At least with version 2.1.1
Also, you can't save email templates ...

Yes, I know how to do it and it works, but not well, which is why I am asking for a mod Smile

I have over 3000 categories on one site and 4000 categories on the other, so emailing categories one at a time is not feasable. I also need to eliminate duplicate email addresses since most of my link owners have duplicate links in multiple categories, hence, why I need to be able to select users instead of links.
