The test emails for Smart Newsletters go out fine, but the automatically-emailed ones are not going out. The cron job is set up and working. Help, please!
Did you receive mailing when you tested cronjob? Cron job should be set to run at least every 15 minutes so in case of large number of subscribers every mailing is sent during at least one day.

No mailings from the cron job, however, shouldn't the mailings also take place when the update web page is accessed manually? No emails from that either.

I have two newsletters showing up in my admin console. I'm attaching screenshots. There's a foreboding looking red X on the daily newsletter's published status.

I'm attaching screen shots of the weekly newsletter setup. There's a foreboding looking red X on the daily's published status. [img size=557]http://www.acajoom.com/images/fbfiles/images/ss1.jpg[/img]
The first icon indicate that your newsletter is not even published so it won't be sent at all. The icon next to second newsletter means that this newsletter is scheduled but as you can see, it is scheduled in the past so it won't be sent also.
YOu have to schedule newsletter in the future to be sent by cron job

OK, I blew away the previous smart newsletters and created two new ones that are unpublished with an issue count of zero. I also increased the cron job to every 15 minutes. If i get a daily newsletter within the next 24 hours, then all will be well (and I'll let you know).

Test your Smart Newsletter
How to test your SmartNewsletter and make sure it works...
* First : Create a SmartNewsletter list
* Second : create your first SmartNewsletter in this list with the tag [SMARTNEWSLETTER].
You can refer to the article : How to set up a Smart Newsletter if you need so.
1. Before testing anything, make sure that :
* You use at least Acajoom PRO 1.4.3
+++I use 3.0.9+++ * Your license is valid
+++ It is +++ * You wrote the tag [SMARTNEWSLETTER] in your SmartNewsletter
+++ I did +++ * The list you created for this SmartNewsletter is published
+++ It is +++ * The SmartNewsletter you created has an 'Issue number' : 0
+++ It does +++ * The 'Start date' for the SmartNewsletter list is in the past
+++ It is (0000-00-00 00:00:00) +++ 2. Reset all Smart Newsletters counters
Go on the Acajoom configuration page and click on the button 'Reset S.N. counter'.
+++ NO option to do this +++
This step will reset all your Smart-Newsletters counters so Acajoom will take all your articles from the category/section selected in your SmartNewsletter list (not only new Articles).
3. Let Acajoom create a Scheduled Newsletter from this Smart Newsletter
Go on the Acajoom configuration page and click on 'Process Queue'.
+++ NO option to do this +++ This step is automatically launched if you have a cron task but if you click on this button, you will force Acajoom to 'process the queue', that means Acajoom will do what needs to be done!
For this first step, Acajoom will create a new Newsletter and schedule it.
You can see this new scheduled Newsletter (with the scheduled icon) in the 'Smart Newsletter' page. You should see a Newsletter with an issue number = 1 just under your own Smart Newsletter (which is still unpublished and issue number = 0).
4. Let Acajoom send this Scheduled Newsletter
Go back to the Acajoom configuration page and click again on 'Process Queue'.
+++ NO option to do this +++ Your scheduled Newsletter was created with the last step. Acajoom will now send it to your whole list!
And you should receive this Newsletter if you added your address to the Smart Newsletter list.
I saw in your list options that you didn't choose Section from which your news should be taken. The next thing is that you didn't install Acajoom plugin.

I understood that if I left the section unselected, it would get all sections.
If I missed a plugin, that might explain everything. I installed (I thought) everything that was in the zipfile. I'll check my downloaded install when I get home and see if I missed anything.
It appears that I didn't have enough permissions to write the entire install 6the first time. I temporarily set the whole site at 777 and reinstalled, now I see the missing buttons. I think I'm finally in business.
All works well now, and may I say your program's automatically summing up published articles and automatically sending out notifications, as well as handling subscribes/unsubscribes make this program WELL worth the little more than 100 bucks it cost me.
