Vemod NewsMailer - Not very intuitive, needs sorting out!

Monday, 18 October 2010

Vemod NewsMailer - Not very intuitive, needs sorting out! What is needed
is the following:

A simple button to trigger a bulk email.
A simple link to a list showing us what this particular email trigger is
going to do, to who, when &c.
A simple log from the back end showing what was sent, when and to whom
and if not, why.

Before any bug-fixing, improvements are carried out the above needs to
be addressed.

I am NOT thick and I am technically minded. I cannot however get to
grips with VEMOD and every time I use it I find myself digging through
the pages to find out what I actually need to do. I still do not know to
this day whether some of emails are actually being sent at all...
Reading the manual seems to have no impact on my ability to be able to
send emails.

I want to use VEMOD having invested time and effort in it. When the
project went in stasis I really thought about abandoning the tool
completely. As it is already installed on three J1.5 sites I don't
really want to go through the pain of finding another tool again. I have
another three J1.5 sites to optimise, I also have six J1.0 sites to find
a mailing tool for.

That's my penn'orth, a response to this on the forum would be really
useful as I am doing my analysis of mailing list tools now. I have a bit
of cash to point in the develope's direction per site install if that
helps.

I have terrible problems with VEMOD, I like it in many ways but it has
some big failings. I am pretty technical but VEMOD often defeats me. It
is completely counter-intuitive as to how to initiate a mail session. It
seems to be a case of pull this, ring this bell, turn this tap, tick
this box and pull one or two levers from the back end, do some tweaking
at the front end and hope like hell that it fires off. Then to find out
what it has actually done, when it mailed, who to &c seems to be another
arcane science in itself. It is like nursing a old steam engine into life.
