Automatically the latest news:Lists in the “Cöln” newsletter

The newsletter in the “Cöln” layout can now also display lists of articles, loss leaders, or events.

The new output options for the lists can, of course, be combined with the existing elements in the Cöln Newsletter.

This feature is not included in the open source version of the Mercury template, but is part of the Mercury extension pack from Alkacon Software. Please contact us if you are interested in our Mercury extensions.
Further information

The lists are not automatically updated in the newsletter. Instead, the newsletter “remembers” which content was in the list when the newsletter was created and always displays this content.

This ensures that the same content is always displayed in the list when the newsletter page is called up again. Otherwise, newer messages could be displayed than those with which the newsletter was actually sent.

When editing the newsletter, the contents of a list are updated in the following cases:

  • When the configuration of the list itself is edited in the editor.
  • When the number of items in the list is changed via the list's item settings.

In addition, a blue “Update list” button is displayed at the top right of the list. By pressing this button, you can manually update the displayed content at any time, e.g., before finally sending the newsletter.
