Default GAZ Private Beta 2 Release Discussion

Geek Gazette newsletter manager beta 2 has now been uploaded to the download section for the private beta testing team to download and... er... test

Please note the following:

1- You must totally uninstall the previous version before installing beta 2.
2- You can ditch the external cron job from beta 1... I have included it as a vB cron as Kirby feels this should be fine.
3- Read the readme for latest changes
4- Report bugs in the tracker
5- Discuss features/changes in this forum (not this thread).
6- Discuss the release in general in this thread
7- If there is no word from you as a tester within 7 days, I will assume you have bailed out of the testing team and will replace you (there is a hefty line of people waiting to take your place )

Still to do:

1- A mail class wrapper to be more versatile (i.e. use SMTP and possibly other MIME types). Currently, the system is only using PHP's mail function
2- Some phrasing
3- Finish phpDocing functions
4- Ensure vb coding standards
5- Usergroup restrictions on newsletter.php browser

Default Yay!

I've got it downloaded, will install it tonight and let Susan have a whack at it.
I'd do it now, but we just got linked by Apartment Therapy Chicago, and it's a *tad* to busy to be doing anything that might even possibly upset the system..

Have to say, we're really excited about the potential of GAZ. You've got another winner Geek!

Thats odd, if the previous version was totally removed and the new one installed... then it should have created a default newsletter and module set for you. You also wouldnt of had an old published newsletter as it would have been removed during the uninstallation. Are you sure it was fully uninstalled?

When a new member is registering we're getting:

The registration seems to complete fine, but we are generating the error each time.

Just as clarification, we did do a full uninstall and all files were deleted from the server before we installed beta 2.
