[solved] Newsletter date format and webversion link,

**Tieme** · 03/31/2011, 17:16

Hello contao community,

i have a question thats related to the newsletter module thats in contao,

i want to chance my date format from : 2011-03-31 to --> Thursday 31 March 2011
I'm using this insert tag for my date format : {{date}}

And when i'm sending a newsletter i want to have a link to the web version,
can i do that with a insert tag or something? or is there a easier way?

Much Thanks

Tieme

( i found another little problem. thats this insert tag ##email## this wont work for me. i only use subscribe for newsletter and no user accounts.)

{{date::*}}
If you click the little helpwizard triangle in Settings above Date Format, you'll see some formats you can use.
In your case though it doesn't seem to be listed there, but they're the same as the php Date() formats

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

It says...

Contao supports all date and time formats that can be parsed with the PHP date() function. However, to ensure that any input can be transformed into a UNIX timestamp, you can only use numeric date and time formats (j, d, m, n, y, Y, g, G, h, H, i, s) in the back end.

but I'm not sure if this applies to inserttags.

Try {{date::l jS \of F Y}} or {{date::"l jS \of F Y"}} to see

Re the other two questions- dunno (I'm not a newsletter user sorry)

Permalinks ¶
Each newsletter has a unique URL (permalink) that can be used to reference it:

http://www.domain.com/newsletters/items ... ns.htmlThe above URL requests the newsletter james-wilson-returns via the page newsletters. Remember that Contao is a page-based CMS, so if the page newsletters did not exist or if it did not include the newsletter reader module, the newsletter would not be displayed.

i think you'll need to add it manually as a link to the newsletter
