[opencms-dev] Adding custom content type to OAMP newsletter module: What to do to send it?

[Christian Hellinger]

Hello together,

i am trying to extend the OAMP newsletter module (1.0.2, OpenCms 7.5.1) 
with my own newsletter type. 
Unfortunately I can't see a newsletter created with this type in the 
newsletter administration, so I can't send it.
What must be done in order to be able to do this?

So far, I created a new module and inside a new xml contenttype for the 
newsletter. I also created a class which extends CmsNewsletterMailData.

In the opencms-modules.xml, I added a ressource type:

<type class="org.opencms.file.types.CmsResourceTypeXmlContent" 
name="custom_newsletter" id="1012010"> 
                <properties> 
                  <property> 
                    <name>template-elements</name> 
                    <value 
type="shared"><![CDATA[/system/modules/com.alkacon.opencms.newsletter/pages/detail-newsletter.jsp]]></value> 

                  </property> 
                </properties> 
                <param 
name="schema">/system/modules/de.dreger.opencms.newsletter/schemas/newsletter_mail_extended.xsd</param> 

              </type> 

and an explorer type:

<explorertype name="custom_newsletter" key="fileicon.custom_newsletter" 
icon="alkacon-newsletter.png" reference="xmlcontent"> 
                <newresource page="structurecontent" 
uri="newresource_xmlcontent.jsp?newresourcetype=custom_newsletter" 
order="66" autosetnavigation="false" autosettitle="false" 
info="desc.custom_newsletter"/>  </explorertype>

I also added the parameter 
 <param 
name="class_maildata">de.dreger.opencms.newsletter.CmsNewsletterMailDataExtended</param>
to the configuration

I can create a newsletter with this type and preview it, but I can't send 
it, because the newsletter isn't shown in the newsletter-administration.

Did I miss something?


Best regards
