Create a new plugin

appzzola

Hi. I am following the example of creating a new plugin for dynamic text, but im not sure if this should be uploaded like a normal Joomla plugin? I had a look at the existing plugins and dont see the normal xml file.

In your instructions it says to just upload the folder to administrator / components / com_acym / dynamics / but I assume this need to be installed?
thanks!

Hi,

You can upload it to that folder by ftp.

Hi. Yes I did.. what was omitted was the fact it had to be called plugin. I had named it differently. It's working now, thanks.
One thing though - when sending test emails, I have sent successfully to one email but when I changed email address, although it said successfully sent, nothing was actually sent. Any idea?

Hi,

The best place to start finding the issue is to run a spam test. It will likely show you the cause of this issue. You'll find the spam test tool on the Test tab when editing your campaign. You would need the Enterprise version to use this.

If you don't have the Enterprise version you can do a manual check here: https://www.mail-tester.com/

In case you neeed further assitance after your test, please be so kind to start a new threat for that.

Hi. This is not a campaign - its just an automation which should run when a new user is created.

yes, i have the enterprise version.
Do I HAVE to create a campaign for an automation?

jvstratum

No you don't. You can use any campaign to run that spam test.

appzzola

ok. ran a spam test - got 10/10..

but still no email coming in from the automation/cron

Looks like everything is ok. To be sure you could use another mail address to test. If it's ok then the issue is the receiving server is rejecting your mail for whatever reason. In case you have access to the mail server logs you could have a look at that.

@appzzola
A Plugin integration should always include Triggers adding for Automations.
i added it to the AcyMailing 6 GitHub project https://github.com/acyba/acymailing6/issues/5
Inviting you to post there, test, ask, suggest and/or just with a +1

Many Thanks!
