Hi,
I try to costumize the layout of the newsletter. But i think i do something wrong. For testing of my changes are working i have empty
- gaz_html_header
- gaz_html_headerinclude
- gaz_html_main
- gaz_html_navbar
Normaly i think when i check newsletter.php or recieve a mail there will be change somethings in the layout. But nothing change ? Not in de email i recieve or www.domain.tld/newsletter.php
What do i wrong ??
I only need to change the mail layout...

I dind't know that i have to rebuild the templates every time i make a change. So that was why nothing happens when i make a change.
A other qeustion that i have is there some documentation how i can make my own module ? Because i want to make a module that i can insert the last x new topics form mt site (other db as forum use)

1: After you edit the GAZ templates, go to the ACP -> GAZ -> Issues -> click the issue you want to change -> tick either the 'Refresh Layout' box or the 'Generate new data' box -> Save and then use the 'Preview Issue' links.
2: GAZ comes with four default modules, described here (http://www.thevbgeek.com/showpost.php?p=25835&postcount=2). If you want to add other modules, you would need to know PHP, understand the code of the default modules, and be familiar with the vB tables so you could code a module that pulls the information you want from the vB tables and displays the information on screen, while being in a format like the default modules so GAZ understands the new module. There is no tutorial for making GAZ modules but it is similar to making GARS modules.

Tanks, I will check if i understand how the default modules are made (i know PHP but not a realy expert).
I have only 1 qeustion now.
When i Make a new newsletter and i dont set Next generation date, Frequency from Start Date, costum Frequency and no by generate cron. Then the system send only the newsletter when i creat a new isseu en click on send ? And not every x time ?

Go to the ACP -> GAZ -> Newsletters -> click a newsletter link and make sure the following are set to yes:
Active
Issue active after generation
Cron generate
