Notify Users is a MODx backend module for emailing manager and/ or web users.

It enables a user with the administrator’s rights to send within a single step a notification to all users (or a subset) who have been granted manager or web access to the site. Optionally, it is possible to include some extra recipients by inputting their emails manually + include the sender as a blind carbon copy recipient with a single click.

The Notify Users module sends emails via the PHPMailer module that is a part of MODx core. PHPMailer is a highly flexible tool and can be quickly adjusted to a proper emailing method supported by the hosting server (see full article on emailing from within MODx site).

Installation

You can install the Notify Users module by following several simple steps:

— download the package in a suitable archive format;

— unpack it to the root folder of your site preserving the archive’s internal directory structure or unpack the package locally and send the files over ftp;

— create a new module named „Notify Users” and fill in its code block by pasting the content of assets/modules/notify_users/notifyusers.txt;

— fill in „Module configuration” field („Configuration” tab) with:
&mail_format=Send Mail As;list;plain,html;plain

— (possibly re-login);

— enjoy emailing your manager/ web users from within the backend of your MODx site.

You can access module’s sources from my SVN repository either through browser or SVN client like TortoiseSVN (http and svn protocols are supported).
