We have a blog and want to extend it so that users can sign up and receive email updates whenever a new blog post is created. Does anybody have any idea about how to do this with Umbraco Members?
Yes, this is what I want to do however it's step 4 and 5 that I'm not sure about. How would I go about raising the event and subsequently emailing the member group?
How to email a member group in Umbraco?
Hi all,
We have a blog and want to extend it so that users can sign up and receive email updates whenever a new blog post is created. Does anybody have any idea about how to do this with Umbraco Members?
Thanks,
David
David,
Step 1: Create a member type in Umbraco back office with custom properties (FirstName, LastName, add etc...)
Step 2: Create a form for creating new members.
Step 3: Create a member group in Umbraco back office and assign the members.
Step 4: As soon as a blog created then raise the event and retrieve the relevant members based on member group.
Step 5: Send the email with the normal mailing functionality (You can attach members in BCC..)
Is this what you are expecting ..?

Hi David,
May I know currently how you are maintaining blogs. Is this Umbraco package or else..?
If it is umbraco, Then you go
Constructor:
public PublishEventsToHub() { ContentService.Publishing += CustomPublishingEventHandler;
//ContentService.Created += CustomCreatedEventHandler;
} private void CustomPublishingEventHandler(IPublishingStrategy sender, PublishEventArgs
}
is working on a reply...
