Hi, THANKS FOR THE PLUGIN 1st :0

Then, I see in the "Outbound -> Activity" in the Madrill dashboard that various components successfully send the emails via the plugin through Mandrill...

I also transferred some templates from Mailchimp to Mandril and familiarized myself with using "tags"...

So far, so good...

Now, here come the "stupid questions" (you can figure I am not a developer (yet):

1. How does mandril know which tags to pass to which template so that not only the traffic is monitored but also templates are used to make the emails look "Mailchimp like"....?

2. do I need to change the extensions code on the Joomla side to pass, compared to the "standard email", "extra information" so that mandrill can pick that up and then process the tags??? Is that how I have to understand the page

help.mandrill.com/entries/21688056-using...tomize-your-messages

?

Sorry for asking here, "3 cooks are involved" (Mailchimp / Mandril / Compojoom) and its hard to figure out who to turn to first. It's all early days as it seems and docu is very patchy still.

IS THERE EVEN JUST 1 (ONE) EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW HOW TO MANAGE SENDING AN EMAIL THROUGH A TEMPLATE VIA MANDRIL, E.G. USER REGISTRATION ?

THANKS FOR POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!

Hey there!
This is currently not possible with the plugin. I'm working on a component that will make this possible. (it should be out next week)
Regards,
Daniel
