This addon can control one or many different newsletters on your site. For instance you may have a newsletter about site news and another about industry news. Each newsletter can have many issues. For instance, Site News may have a new issue every quarter, and Industry News may have a new issue every month. Each issue can have many stories. The newsletter creates one page for the front cover with a list of stories, and one page per story. It also includes a navigation panel for all pages.

The layout of the newsletter is controlled with a Newsletter Template. Use HTML and the addons 'Newsletter-body only' and Newsletter-nav only' to design your look and feel.

If you will be creating an email from this newsletter, be sure to include your styles in either the newsletter template or the newsletter record.

When you view the newsletter addon for the first time, it will automatically create a 'Default' newsletter for you.

To create a new newsletter, use the 'Add a new Newsletter' link to create the newsletter. To view the newsletter add-on as you are here, click on Advanced Edit and click the Options icon at the top of the add-on (wrench icon). Select the newsletter you want to display and hit update.
