Last programmer ditched me so heres what I have left to do. Making a site for pregnancy. I have 42 articles for each week during a females normal pregnancy. I want a newsletter to automatically send out these articles depeding on what week they are in their pregnancy. Now I have a newsletter plugin that will do all of this. But the only thing I need done is to add "due date" in the signup form so you can calculate the join date. The join date is what is saved already in the DB and is used to determine when to send articles. So if I signed up today and my baby is due in 8 months (normall pregnancy is 9) then it would just change my join 1 month prior than today. So I would recieve the 4th week pregnancy article and the next week I would get 5th, ect. Got me? If interested let me know how long it will take and how much. Any questions please ask. Payment by paypal.
I dont think that would work. Due to my requirements on when articles are sent out depending on their due date of the baby that would make that really hard I would think.
I would agree with aaron_nimocks.. This will require more than just an auto responder.. This will require an array to be set up with the different dates or news letters with dates as variables in the array. A cron job would most likely be needed and it would have to be programmed to select from that array with the given data (sign up date) and trigger the auto responder to send the correct news letter to the correct recipient. Sounds like a cool idea aaron.. unique and would most likely be popular and draw great interest. Please keep us posted and let us know when you get it together. Boulder
Well you wouldnt need all that. The wordpress plugin already does most of that. I just need a way to convert the user inputed due date to the join date and save to the DB. Thats it. The plugin would do the rest.
Oh okay, I see what your saying now.. So when someone joins the newsletter... It starts at the beginning.. You need a way to make it start from when they join.. So if they joined at 6 months left to go until due date. That is where the news letters would start from, at that point onward in the pregnancy process.
Exactly. So when they sign up to the newsletter they are entering their due date and it just calculates the date they signed up to the newsletter and they will receive the correct weeks article. Now if I can find someone to do it!
