a must have feature will be able to export the email to text, csv or somthing like that - even to display all the mail in textarea (and than i be able to copy-paste it) will be fine.
secondly, i think maybe it will be better to display the nodes in a new section (like settings, members etc) and not in the content tree.
I use this "box" for a windows service I created to send newsletters, so for me I don't need the export tool :-) Anyway, you could easly create a template to export them (it's standard umbraco nodes, only nodename is in use) You could use this C# code (Refference the dll in this package and using Bouvet.Umbraco.EmailAsNode on top of your class):
Node startnode = new Node(NewsletterContainerNodeId);
if (startnode != null) { var emails = from p in startnode.ChildrenDescendants() where p.Name.IsEmail() select p; }
The second issue I agree with. The reason it's in the content tree is that my editors dosen't have access to other than Content and Media, and the mainentance of the emails is done be them. Might look into posibility to make it a user choise.
i'm quit new to umbraco and mean while i've just focus on developing xslt macro's and simple .net user controls - not yet familiar with the umbraco api and package development.. - but the feature of some kind of export - i think it will make your package much more valuable to everyone so it will be great to see it in the future versions of your package.
just a thought - if you familiar with tim mail engine package - it will be amazing to see this package and his combining together - think how nice it will be if you will have the option to choose to mass mail to member group OR to the email addresses that collected using your package?.. ;-)
Agree with you... Might be the best solution to create a property to display all emails on the EmailContainer. A property displaying all subnodes would do the trick. Maybe there is one allready?
About the Tim package; great idea :-) I think this should be suggested to TIm, since it's on his package the modification must be done. If his package could select a parent node in the content tree and send to all emails it would be nice. Another solution is to rewrite my package to add members instead of tree nodes (though thats not a good solution for me, beacause I use the member section for forum mebers etc, not just email recieveres).
We've created some extra stuff to the blog4umbraco package on some intranet, not a complete forum. The code is to custom to create a package i think (or go public with :-)
thanks i will test this packages - it looks like it will do the job for the moment - yet, i think your package should provide some kind of this functionallity because people collect email to use them in some way or another.
export the email list
thanks for the package.

i will notify tim to look at this post.
by the way, which forum solution you integrated to umbraco?

Hi again Eran
Came over this package http://our.umbraco.org/projects/eyecatch-csv-generator
Haven't tested it yet, but the description seems to do exactly what you're asking for about the csv file?
thanks i will test this packages - it looks like it will do the job for the moment - yet, i think your package should provide some kind of this functionallity because people collect email to use them in some way or another.
Thanks!
