Languages	English · español

Please see SMF1.1:News and newsletters or SMF2.0:News and newsletters depending on the version of SMF you are using.

La sección de "Noticias y Boletines" está situada en "Admin > Principal > Noticias y Boletines". Los administradores pueden permitir a otros Grupos de Usuarios (en) el acceso a estas características a través de los Ajustes.

Noticias

Esta característica te permite mostrar pequeñas noticias en una determinada posición en tu foro. Puedes usar BBCodes (en) para dar formato a estos mensajes. Cuando SMF se acaba de instalar, habrá una noticia que dirá: "SMF - Just Installed". Escribe tu propio mensaje en el espacio determinado y luego haz click en el botón "Guardar. Para añadir más noticias, haz click en el enlace: "Haz click aquí para añadir otro elemento". Una noticia puede ser eliminada seleccionado el checkbox que hay a su lado, y a continuación, haciendo click en el botón "Eliminar seleccionados".

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 (en) for each theme that you have installed. The following options are available:

Enable random news line in the forum header - When this option is enabled, a news item is shown randomly in the forum header (en) 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 (en). News items are shown here one at a time with a fading effect between each one.
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

If you need to contact some, or all, members of the forum this feature can be used to send a simple e-mail (newsletter).

Membergroup Selection

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 post count group (en), you need to enable permissions for post count groups in Admin > Permissions > Settings > Enable permissions for post count based groups.

Advanced

Clicking on the Advanced link underneath the membergroup listing gives you access to the following options:

E-mail Addresses - In this box you can add any additional e-mail addresses that you would like the newsletter to be sent to.
Members - This enables you to add the usernames of any additional members that you would like to receive the newsletter.
Excluded Groups - Here you 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 in a similar way to the above option. You can add the usernames of members that you do not want to receive the newsletter, no matter which membergroup(s) they belong to.
Override Notification Settings - You can select this so that the the e-mail is also sent to members even if they have opted not to receive announcements by e-mail in their profile (Profile > Modify Profile > Notifications). It is not recommended to force members to receive announcements, unless it is really important.

Composing a Newsletter

After completing the steps above, you have to click on Next, which takes you to the screen for composing the actual content of the newsletter.

Subject - The default subject is "Site name: Subject".
Message box - You can enter almost anything you want in the message box, including HTML. Most e-mail clients support HTML, but not all of them do. If you want to use HTML in the newsletter, you must select the option Send in HTML format (see below).
Send this to these groups using personal messages - Newsletters can be sent in the form of a personal message, instead of an email.
Send in HTML format - This must be checked if you want to use HTML tags in the e-mail.
Add <br />s and  s to this message. - This is enabled by default to ensure that the line breaks and spaces are shown correctly in the email. However, if you select the option to send in HTML format, you can uncheck this option.

Certain variables can be used in the email:

{$board_url} - The URL to your forum.
{$current_time} - The current time.
{$member.email} - The current member's email.
{$member.link} - The current member's link.
{$member.id} - The current member's ID.
{$member.name} - The current member's name.
{$latest_member.link} - The most recently registered member's link.
{$latest_member.id} - The most recently registered member's id.
{$latest_member.name} - The most recently registered member's name.
