If there is a bit of recent news, the forum administrators may decide to tell other users about it. BBCode and HTML may be used in these messages; the messages will be displayed in the header, just under the user information.  
<translate>
<!--T:1-->
The ''News and Newsletters'' section is located at ''Admin > Main > News and Newsletters''. Administrators can permit other {{llink|SMF1.1:Membergroups|text=membergroups}} to access these features via the {{llink|SMF1.1:News_and_newsletters|anchor=Settings|text=settings}}.  


==Newsletters==
==News== <!--T:2-->
If an admin needs to contact some or all members of the forum and they don't want a time-consuming hassle, they can use this feature. They can use it to send a simple e-mail or use it to send elegant newsletters.


===Membergroups===
<!--T:3-->
====Group Selection====
This feature enables you to display short news items in a prominent position on your forum. You can use {{llink|Alphabetical_list_of_all_bulletin_board_codes|text=BBCode}} to format these messages. When SMF is first installed, there will be one news item: "SMF - Just Installed". Type your own message in this box and then click the ''Save'' button. To add further news items, use the link ''Click here to add another item''. A news item can be removed by selecting the checkbox next to it, followed by clicking on the ''Remove selected'' button.  
The first thing the administrator will do when they come to the newsletter page is select which membergroups they would like to e-mail. They may just select the boxes for each membergroup they want to e-mail.


<!--T:4-->
It is possible to configure how and where the news items are displayed on your forum. This configuration has to be done in the {{llink|SMF1.1:Themes_and_Layout|anchor=Theme_Settings|text=theme settings}} for ''each'' theme that you have installed. The following options are available:


{{Version Specific
<!--T:5-->
|version=1.1
*'''Enable News?''' - When this option is enabled, a news item is shown randomly in the {{llink|Forum header|text=forum header}} each time you refresh the page or navigate through the forum.</translate>
|content=====E-mail Options====
<translate>
When they want to use the newsletter feature on the forum, forum administrators may configure a few options to meet the needs for sending out e-mails to the members:
<!--T:6-->
* Send the messages using personal messages - With this option checked, members will receive the newsletter as a personal message rather than by e-mail.
*'''Show news fader on board index''' - This displays a collapsible news box at the top of the {{llink|Board index|text=board index}}. News items are shown here one at a time with a fading effect between each one.</translate>
* Send this to members even if they have chosen not to receive announcements - Administrators can choose this to send the e-mail to the members who have the option to not receive announcements by e-mail in their profile. It is not recommended to force the users to receive the announcement unless the piece of news is really important.}}
<translate>
<!--T:7-->
*'''Fading delay between items for the news fader''' - This sets how long each news item is displayed before the next item is shown in the news fader. The time is set in milliseconds.


==Newsletters== <!--T:8-->


{{Version Specific
<!--T:9-->
|version=2
If you need to contact some, or all, members of the forum this feature can be used to send a simple e-mail (newsletter).
|content=Underneath the membergroup listing is a link that says "Advanced". Selecting this will expand several additional settings that can be used to configure the e-mail settings.}}


===Advanced===
===Membergroup Selection=== <!--T:10-->
Upon selecting the "Advanced" link underneath the membergroup listing, there will be a number of different options which include all of the following:
* E-mail Addresses - In this box, the administrators can add any additional e-mail addresses they would like the newsletter to be sent to.
* Members - The administroators can add the usernames of any additional members that they would like to receive the newsletter.
* Excluded Groups - Here, the administrator can select groups that absolutely cannot receive the newsletter under any condition. Even if they have the same group selected under the included membergroups at the top of the page, or a member belongs to one of the included groups, as long as the member belongs to any groups checked here, they will not receive the newsletter. This includes primary and secondary membergroups.
* Excluded Members  - This works similarly to the above option, except the administrators can add the usernames of members that they don't want to receive the newsletter no matter what membergroup(s) they belong to.
* Override Notification Settings - The administrators can select this to send the e-mail to the members who have the option to not receive announcements by e-mail in their profile. It is not recommended to force the members to receive announcements, unless it is really important.


<!--T:11-->
First of all, check the boxes next to the membergroups that you would like to e-mail. If you would like to send a newsletter to users in a particular {{llink|Post-Count_based_membergroup|text=post count group}}, you need to enable permissions for post count groups in ''Admin > Permissions > Settings > Enable permissions for post count based groups''.


===Composing the e-mail===
===E-mail Options=== <!--T:12-->
While composing the e-mail, the administrator will be shown the e-mail addresses that the message will be sent to. They can add or remove addresses as they wish.
* Subject - The default subject will be the Site name, then Subject. It is recommended that the administrator change the subject of the e-mail to something that is more descriptive.
* Message - Administrators can put almost anything they want into the message box. If they would like, they can even use HTML. Most e-mail clients support HTML, but not every one does. If an administrator wishes to use HTML in the message, they must select this option: Send in HTML format. (With this, they can put normal HTML in the e-mail.)
* Variables - In the message, they can also use some variables. Here are the "variables" that can be used:
** <code>{$board_url}</code> - The URL to your forum.
** <code>{$current_time}</code> - The current time.
** <code>{$member.email}</code> - The current member's email.

When SMF is first installed, there will be one news item: "SMF - Just Installed". Type your own message in this box and then click the Save button. To add further news items, use the link Click here to add another item. A news item can be removed by selecting the checkbox next to it, followed by clicking on the Remove selected button.

It is possible to configure how and where the news items are displayed on your forum. This configuration has to be done in the theme settings for each theme that you have installed. The following options are available:

  • Enable News? - When this option is enabled, a news item is shown randomly in the forum header each time you refresh the page or navigate through the forum.
  • Show news fader on board index - This displays a collapsible news box at the top of the board index. News items are shown here one at a time with a fading effect between each one.
