customer groups in newsletter/prod notificationss

Hello,

I have three main customer groups on my site.

Group a) newsletter group (email and first last name)

Group b) same as a) but different type of customer

Group c) customers that have signed up via the zencart newsletter mod (ie newsletter only subscribers).

To set up my groups a) and b) I created new entries in the query_builder table (one entry for each group). If i go to TOOLS-SEND EMAIL i can see my created groups. However, in the newsletter/product notifications, you can't see these groups in the newsletter dropdown, and the product notifications does'nt even give you the option of choosing the group to notify. Any way around this ?

thanks,

Re: customer groups in newsletter/prod notificationss

figured out the way to get the groups includes in the dropdown for sending newsletters. just set the query category in the query builder insert to email,newsletters and you will then have the dropdown populated with your own groups. (code is line 30 of audience.php ) in /includes/functions/audience.php :clap:

// get list of queries in database table, based on category supplied
$queries_list = $db->Execute("select query_name, query_string from " . TABLE_QUERY_BUILDER . " " .
"where query_category like '%" . $query_category . "%'");

Still dont know why product notification has no dropdown pick list :unsure:
