An Early Look at Thank Me Later 2.0

I am currently developing the next version of Thank Me Later, my WordPress plugin which sends out e-mails to your blog’s commenters a few days after they post the comment.

Development is currently proceeding well. I have compiled the following list of features which will definitely be included in Thank Me Later:

  • Support for multiple messages, with different selection probabilities to make each message appear unique.
  • Full(er) internationalisation support.
  • Optional nl2br functionality for HTML messages, to avoid using <br /> when writing messages.
  • Syntax Highlighting in messages (optional; limited support).
  • Targeting/emailing Options:
    • Only send e-mails to logged (out|in) users.
    • Optionally allow visitors to opt out from e-mails.
    • Optional restriction to never send the same email to a visitor twice (unless they are no other messages configured).
  • Improved message templates, which allow third-party plugins to add their own templates for messages.

Here are a few screenshots:

If you want to get a BETA version of the plugin, just leave a comment here stating so (it will be sent to your email address). I also want to get Thank Me Later translated into other languages; if you can help, please comment here or contact me. Also, if you have an idea, please share it…

    @Brendon,

    Sorry, I didn’t even realize I had the latest version installed! I have a few questions:

    1.My from e-mail shows up as root@localhost, how can I fix that? I have input an e-mail address in the field and saved the changes, but it still shows root@localhost.

    2.Do you still need a spanish translation for it? I will gladly do it.
