Create a portlet that will allow newsletters to be sent out to all registered users, or by group, location, company, etc.

[Ivano Carrara]

I think that a great function will be to obtain a list and or report listing what users belong to a group, location, company, etc., users just registered but not still assignated to a group

A Newsletter portlet woud be a great functionnality indeed.
It should also give to all members the permission to unsubscribe.
Who's in charge for this functionnality? It seems it has been suggested a year ago. Is something has been done yet?

[Raymond Auge]

In the 5.0.0+ we have Announcements/Alerts portlets which can be used for this.

They provide:

• subscription per user, per "announcement type"
• delivery to individual User (API only), Roles, User Groups, Communities, and Organizations
• user choice of delivery mechanism, per "announcement type": (AND/OR), email, SMS, web (the portlet on a page is the web mechanism).
• configurable unlimited number of "announcement types" through portal.properties
• scoped control of who can broadcast announcements where. A user must have "Assign Member" permission on a given scope in order to be able to broadcast an Announcement/Alert.

This is good feature. It would be nice to add Newsletter portlet in 5.3.

Add vote +1.

This would be a wonderful addition. At present we are looking at other software to handle the newsletters, so to have it all 'under one roof' would be wonderful.

[Nicolas Grué]

For info, you can make easily a basic "Newsletter" portlet, by configuring the e-mail abilities of the "Message boards" portlet:
when you subscribe to a subject, you are e-mailed of each new message... like classic newsletters !

There is a proposal for this in the wiki: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Proposals/Newsletter+Portlet

[Denis Signoretto]

It would be nice send newsletter using article/content system with full HTML support. Also tracing reading it would be desiderable.
