Possible Bug: Mailing: only first block of content included

Hi,

I defined a dummy mailing with some text template like this

Code: Select all

Test before
[agnDYN name="Text"/]
Test after
Now I added some content, first for "all subscribers" then a special block and then again something for "all subscribers".

Code: Select all

All subscribers      	Before special content 
Test = 1     	Special content 
All subscribers     	After special content
But it seems like only the first block is evaluated, all following blocks never appear in any mailing (neither preview, test or real mailing). The mailing looks like this for all receivers:

Code: Select all

Test before
Before special content
Test after
Now if I re-order the blocks and put the special content in front, then all members of the corresponding target group get the first block but nothing else.

Content Blocks:

Code: Select all

Test = 1        Special content 
All subscribers        Before special content 
All subscribers        After special content
Mail for target group:

Code: Select all

Test before
Special content
Test after
All other subscribers get the second block but nothing else:

Code: Select all

Test before
Before special content
Test after
Installed Version: AGNITAS OpenEMM 5.0 on SuSe linux 10.1

Yes, only the first record is processed (by incident, no bug), because every module gets filled by just one content record. If OpenEMM finds a matching record (and a record with target group "all subscribers" always matches) it uses this record to fill in the place holder (module) and stops processing the following records.

If you need more than one content module in your mailing, please add further modules (which have to be defined via a simple template), which will become visible in the content tab so that you can add more content records with target groups.

BTW, the manual explains this stuff in more detail.

Ah I see. Sorry, I got the concept of this completely wrong. Thanks for the help!

No problem, this is a rather advanced feature of OpenEMM and not as intuitively designed as we would like it to be.
