    Create Newsletters via WLW or copy/paste from Office w images...

    Hi,

    All our editors are very used to working with Ms Office and its easy way of adding images via cut n paste. To their annoyance it's not that simple to cut/paste an image/screenshot/etc into Umbraco...

    I've introduced them to adding content/images to our regular websites using Words wlw like features and they love it!

    If I want to create a similar simple work flow with 'NS' is there a way to set up a publishing channel that publishes into the NS backend, or is the only way to publish this content to use the url content feature?

    Hi Kalle!

    Are you talking about the MetaWeblog api? At the moment the url content feature its the only way to do this. I guess you could set up a document type called "newsletter", use it with the exsisting weblog api and create a eventhandler that creates a new newsletter i NS whenever a node of the newsletter-document type is created. That event handler could also schedule the email for send out if thats wants needed.

    Is this colse to what you are looking for Kalle?

    Yes!

    It's the  MetaWeblog API I meant.

    Your suggestion with an event handler sounds interesting and the result would be very close to what I have in mind...
    I guess I'll just have to learn how an eventhandler is built then ; )

    Are there any special requirements to be able to creat a newsletter programatically once I've been able to hook into the creation event?
