kartik-v / yii2-mailer Goto Github PK

Hi Kartik, I noticed this in your repository a few a days ago.

Not an issue but thought I would add a couple of ideas for your development.

The description is close to what I need, and very similar to something I wrote in plain php prior to discovering the yii framework.

Previously I used tinymce for the editor and html instead of rich text
I used swiftmailer and converted image tags to embedded images.
made and attached a pdf using webkittopdf - in case email client couldn't read html.
replaced fields - which I guess is your tags.

Would provide it a mailing list, the template to use, and the substitutions.
A daemon polled tbl_mail_queue every 5 seconds.

This time will look to use summernote (with codemirror). Will try your pdf extension.
Compared tinymce, ckeditor, redactor and so far like summernote the best as more bootstrappy.

Ideas for you (you may have already thought of them but worth mentioning in case):
1./ option to automatically generate and attach pdf
2./ option to convert image tags to embedded images
3./ most likely better if used with mailing lists containing images and creating pdfs to do the embedding and attaching at send - rather than storing for each email.
4./ option potentially to use different editors as per developers preference perhaps - and perhaps html in addiction to rich text - maybe even markdown?

As a language, more users of my system a likely to be familiar with html than rich text - though I know rich text is simpler. Mostly people will use in wysiwyg mode.

For now, I will write my own simple version as I need to get something going now - but will watch for your extension.
