Newsletter Tab Module for PrestaShop

I have found a great and simple Newsletter Tab on PrestaShop forum, however the author have not changed anything for couple years and adding tab like that was a pain in a neck so I have created a module to do this automatically and cleared some features of that admin tab.

Module features:

  • Send emails to your PrestaShop customers
  • Send newsletter email on their birthday
  • You can use variables for your emails to make it more personal: %FIRSTNAME% – %LASTNAME% – %MAIL%
  • Works good with your server because there is an ability to add delay on sending emails
  • You get a detailed information about the process when it is finished
  • You can check all checkboxes and the script will automatically filter duplicate emails.

Here is a screenshot:

Download: Newsletter Tab Module for PrestaShop 1.4.4 v1.1

UPDATE v1.1: 2011-06-22:

  • Added automatic translastions to the admin tab class
  • Added ability to choose parent tab for your Newsletter tab
  • fixed some mistakes

UPDATE v1.1: 2011-06-29

  • Mistakes regarding configuration and parent tab selecting form for 1.4.3 were fixed.

UPDATE v1.1: 2011-08-15

  • Deleted some unnecessary functions for better and easier installation.
  • Tested and works fine with versions 1.4.3 and 1.4.4.

    Hello,

    It was only tested with the newest version PS 1.4.3 and I do not have problems installing it on this version.

    You can choose the parent tab on its configuration after the install.

      I have the same problem with version 1.4.4.
      The blank page is caused by this line
      {foreach $tabsInfo as $tab}
      in adminform.tpl.
      Did you find a solution?

        I have tried to reproduce this problem on PrestaShop 1.4.4 and everything works just fine. I am using Smarty3 and not Smarty2. Maybe you have problems because of that. Please share more details on your problem by email if you do want to write it here.

          I think its just the syntax, I changed that line to: {foreach from=$tabsInfo item=tab} and it worked for me. Thanks for the plugin!

      You need to add files to /yourprestashophome/modules and install the module. After that configure the position of tab.

    Hello,

    I’ve installed in my PS 1.4.1.0 and works fine.
    I got one interesting error message, in the first time that I accessed the Newsletter tab I got the message “Invalid security token” and there were two buttons “I understand the risks and I want to display the page” and “Take me out of here!”.
    Could you please let us know the reason of this message?

    Thank you,
    Flavio

    Hard to say why this was shown because the tab is created automatically to PrestaShop by its default capabilities. Maybe you have not refreshed the page if you added the tab on your Modules sections.

        This is a normal newsletter client. It was a class made by other person, however for simplicity I added it as module and now it is a fully functional normal newsletters module that you can use on every day basis.

          Hi Richard,

          Thank you very much for your answer.

          I’ve installed it and am trying to put together an HTML newsletter but it keeps on stripping out the head code.

          That and the page looks a little funny in Google (the email client I’m using for testing purposes)

          Any suggestions on how to couch attributes or what to add to the code so that the page won’t break up too much vertically and the top of the page will actually stick to the top of the browser?

      I can not say where is the problem, because there are not enough information. Please tell me which mode of this Newsletter class you use when sending emails and other options you choose.

      Do not forget that this script sends emails with delay – only two emails per minute by default if I do remember good.

    After that you just need to configure the parent tab, I test on my email and it really nice.

      You are using Smarty 2 which is not compatible with this module – it users Smarty3 syntax.

    The only problem is that in the newsletter tabs it makes the Stock tab visible even when the Advanced Stock Management is turned off. I don’t mind it though as long as it works 🙂

    Anyway the module works fine as it should. It is just amazing. Thanks a lot

      Just to follow-up, found that commenting out the include_once for AdminTab.php on line 15 fixed this, as that was trying to redeclare the class. Also had to switch the store from using the standard PHP mail() function – this worked for the module previously, but as of PS 1.5.6.0 seems to return false to this module, whilst still working for others. Happy that it’s working again now, though! 🙂
