   Hi Alo,

   I'm trying to send a newsletter post to one subscribed user (I don't need to queue the message). I know how to get the user's data and I'm trying to send the message in the same way you send the test one, but it don't work.

   Some information before the code snippet:
   - Wordpress 3.2.1
   - ALO EasyMail Newsletter 2.3

   *********************

   // $usuario is a variable with all the user data
   // $newsletter_id is just the ID of one of the newsletters
   $recip = array(
   'email' => 'user@domain.com',
   'newsletter' => 'sendable',
   'ID' => $newsletter_id,
   'user_id' => $usuario->ID
   );
   alo_em_send_newsletter_to( $recip );

   *********************

   When I execute this code I get the following Warning message:

   *********************

   Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in /home/bubo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/alo-easymail/alo-easymail.php on line 2940

   *********************

   Despite the warning, I receive the message on the correct destination and from the correct sender (both name and email are correct). The problem is that I'm not getting the message content.

   Can you help me, please? Surely I'm not using the correct function or I'm missing something trivial, but after some hours checking that issue I can't figure out where is the problem :(.

   Best regards,

   Ok, I think the problem is that the array values are not properly set up.
   Try in this way:
   

   $recip = array(
       'email' => $usuario->user_email , // the recipient email: e.g. $usuario->user_email (or similar in you object)
       'newsletter' => $newsletter_id, // the newsletter ID
       'ID' => false, // the ID of recipient in db recipient table: leave it false because you didn't create the recipient list before sending
       'user_id' => $usuario->ID // Ok
   );
   alo_em_send_newsletter_to( $recip );

   Let us know if it works.

   Yes, it works! :D

   Here is how I'm sending Birthday wishes to my customers:

   There are only two "special things" on that script; I mean code that isn't there by default on any ALO EasyMail Newsletter plugin installation:
   1) I'm using a custom field for the "newsletter" custom post type in order to distinguish "happy birthday" newsletter messages from normal ones.
   2) I set a custom field for users in order to save their birthday date.

   I've got that code in a php file saved in the root folder of my Wordpress system and I'm calling this file with a server Cron once a day. It works like a charm.

   Surely that code could be improved and better-integrated with your plugin or the Wordpress core itself (using the wp-cron, for example), but I can't spend any more time right now doing such improvements. Hope someone could help us ;).

   Hi eqhes. Very good job!
   I hope to release the new plugin version including your custom fields improvement very very soon... so in future we can integrate the "birthday" auto-sender.
