I have uploaded newspad to my server and can access it directly, and have also went throught the newspad configuration as well as WebWiz forum integration and was able to succesfully run the "test database connection" test. The question I have is, now that I have the WebWiz integration configured and was able to succesfully connect to my WebWiz db when I ran the test, shouldn't I see the newspad bulletins on the right side of my WibWiz fourm? Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.

I am currently connected to a access database.

Keep up the great work.

The integration at the present time doesn't work in that way, as present version 8 web wiz forums came out before the NewsPad software was ever conceived.

The integration allows you to send newsletters and news bulletins to your Web Wiz Forums members via email.

Is the long term goal to integrate the two tightly or should users start making their own mods? I could wait a bit for this functionality unless there is no plan to integrate them in which case I will start making my own mod now.

I integrated NewsPad and WW Forum successfully and sending Email to NewsPad Subscriber is Ok.

My problem is Forum members which they can not receive any email from NewsPad.

I sent some test news to Forum user group but none of them receive these news on their email.

please help me on this problem.

NewsPad only passes emails to the SMTP server you are using, from there it is up to the SMTP server to relay on emails. If emails are not being sent then have a look at your SMTP server.

I am currently connected to a access database

I have got the Forums and Newspad synced and all is working (I think)

I got the Forums Db imported into the news pad for members.

my question is, when a new member signs up for the forums it is not adding them to the Newspad Db

Do I have to import the forum DB list each time a new member signs up or am I missing something

You do not need to import Web Wiz Forums members in to NewsPad.

The integration between NewsPad and Web Wiz Forums means that NewsPad reads directly from the forums database to send newsletters to members who have subscribed through their forum profile.

When you go to send an eNewsletter it will give you the choice to send to Forum members.

If you have imported members in to NewsPad you should delete all these otehrwise they will get newsletter twice.

There is a page in the admin area of NewsPad for Web Wiz Forums integration where you enter the database connection details of Web Wiz Forums, so that NewsPad can read from the forum database.

Also in the Web Wiz Forums admin area on the Forum Configuration page you can enable NewsPad integration so that members have a subscribe/unsubscribe link on their forum profile page and when registering.

When you go to send eNewsletters as long as you setup the Web Wiz Forums integration it will also show you a list of forum members groups and you need to select which forum member groups you want to send the eNewsletter to.

Newspad will then send eNewsletters to those forum members who have selected to receive newsletters in their forum profile.

If I buy newspad today, can it be updated for free to version 2 when this is fully developed.

PS: Can you run with MSSQL in newspad and MySql in the forum, or give this problems.

If you purchase a NewsPad license now it would cover both versions 1 and 2 of NewsPad.

Any database version of NewsPad can connect to any database version of Web Wiz Forums.

For some reason, the forum and newspad integration isn't working for me. All my forum members have "Newsletter Subscription" as "Yes" and both the forum and newspad admin options have integration turned on.

Any ideas?

EDITED:
Forget the above post.

I've tested it and it's definitely sending newsletters to forum members. I assumed the subscribed forum members would appear under the Newspad subscribers list, but it appears that only those subscribing directly appear in this list. A little confusing as I thought all would appear.
