Newsletter shows "Pending" news ?!?!

I have been sending out emails using the newsletter tool but sadly it also sends any articles i have set as pending and archived. surely the system should know not to release these in the newsletter.

Any thoughts?

You should set search_status_limit param to 1, like this:

<vte:template>
     <vte:box module="box_article_list">
          <vte:params>
               <vte:param name="cache" value="1" />
               <vte:param name="search_search_date" value="7" />
               <vte:param name="search_before_after" value="1" />
               <vte:param name="search_status_limit" value="1" />
               <vte:param name="search_limit" value="50" />
          </vte:params>
....
</vte:template>

OK thanks for that, i will give it a try on the next newsletter.

OK try this and tell me if it doesn't work.

Its still pulling all the "pending" news items.

Is there a fix for this yet?

try this param line @ shketuljko 's code above:

<vte:param name="search_status" value="1,2" />

(1 = active articles 2= headlines) - instead of "search_status_limit"

So the hole block it will looks like:

<vte:template>
     <vte:box module="box_article_list">
          <vte:params>
               <vte:param name="cache" value="1" />
               <vte:param name="search_search_date" value="7" />
               <vte:param name="search_before_after" value="1" />
               <vte:param name="search_status" value="1,2" />
               <vte:param name="search_limit" value="50" />
          </vte:params>
....
</vte:template>

Thanks, it works!

I just don't fully understand the VTE framework yet. Hopefully, it will "click" soon.
