Hi all,
Im trying to crack it for awhile now without any success.m trying to create a new content type with class name, day (checkbox), hours (start - end as list) for each day.
I
The idea is I have a teacher/manager who sign up his students and than s/he can send mass emails/SMS to the group of a specific class or day or hour (start hour).
I tried to search on google for tutorial without much success, the tutorial I found there are not complete or not explainable enought.
Im tring to do it by code. Im using drupal 7 for this one.
How do I create this content type?
Thank you for the help in advance

Organic Groups
Hi RK,
Without knowing more details, it's hard to give a precise answer.
But, you should consider using Organic Groups for this. Each class can be a group (node), and then every one who joins this class can be mass notified.
You could also look at using Drupal Commons for a quick start on setting up this type system, or even just to investigate how that is built.

If drupal commons is an over kill for you you can tear it apart. Just use OG and the message stack.
Please, help.
Hello,
I created a new custom content type (field) after a long hard work (didn`t find any easy to understand guide).
I have few problem with it, the 1st and most important one is that it does not save the data to table (DB).
When I enable the module, I can add the new type field to a content type and I can enter the data alright but it does not save it.
I have noticed that it doesn`t create a table in DB.

You can try Event Calendar project. It seems it has a mailing integration feature too.
