I would like a "Subscribed" Message when the user subscribes through the module.

BUT I don't want the message when the user confirms their email account. The reason for this is that I think it is misleading. They are confirming their account and they get a message to say they have subscribed to the Newsletter list.

com_acymailer / config / interfaces / messages /"Display a message on subscription"
seems to be a generic subscription message.

Hello,

I didn't understand what you wanted to do exactly but as you can:
1/ Modify any string used in AcyMailing via the language file (AcyMailing configuration page)
2/ Turn on or off the fact AcyMailing will display a confirmation or a subscription message
3/ Configure AcyMailing to use your own redirect urls

I'm sure you will be able to do exactly what you want.

When a user subscribes via the module, they get a Joomla message in blue, saying "You have subscribed" or whatever the text is. This facility is switched on / off via:


When a user registers on the site, my config auto subscribes the user to the "Newsletter" List.
When the user confirms their email address via the link in the email during registration, then their account is activated. At this point their subscription to "Newsletters" is activated in AcyMailer.

When their Joomla / CB account is activated, they are taken to a webpage on the site saying "Your account has now been activated. You may now log in."

On this SAME page, they get a Joomla message in blue, saying "You have subscribed" or whatever the text is.


Now this is confusing, because:

1. they didn't even know they were subscribing to a mailing list.
2. They thought they were just confirming and activating their new user account.

So the question is:

Can they get a Joomla message in blue, saying "You have subscribed" or whatever the text is, ONLY if they subscribe through the module and NOT when they register on the site?

Thank you, that's much more clear.
So no, it's not yet possible but I will make sure to remove this message for our next release.

Why say one word when a thousand will do - that's what I was told, or was it the other way round? LOL!!!

Thanks for the prompt brief replies John.

I wanted to remove it but in fact AcyMailing does not display any message during the Joomla registration confirmation.
It will silently confirm the user in AcyMailing as well but that's all.

Well, yes it does, it will display a message like "message ... successfully sent to ..." in case of you have a welcome message and you configured AcyMailing to display the messages when sending the welcome message but that's all it should display on the Joomla confirmation screen.

Could you please give it a new try and let me know exactly the message you see and you would like us to remove?
Are we talking about the same thing?

With the following settings:


Subscribe via the module:
- Welcome Email is received from Acymailer
- On screen message is displayed:


When a user subscribes and clicks the link to confirm their email account, then:
- Welcome Email is received from Acymailer
- On screen message is displayed:


I want the message if subscribing via module, but I don't want the message if auto subscribing via registration.

Ok, we are really talking about the welcome message then.

You can disable the message displayed on the screen for both actions:
Display a message when sending the welcome message : No.

But if you want to really send the welcome message when the user subscribes via the module and do not send it for a subscription via the joomla registration form, then you should create an other list, attached it to your module (not to your registration form) and attach the welcome message only to this list.
That way, only users subscribed via the module will receive your welcome message and see the text "message xxx sent to xxx" on the screen.

It is the latter that I was thinking of, but the former I was having to settle for.

So create 2 lists and send the same newsletter to both lists? Some pro's to that I suppose. But the con that immediately comes to mind is that a registered user could then subscribe via the module - unless there is a filter / work round for this?

Create two lists:
If the user subscribes via your module, he will be subscribed to your two lists.
If the user registers on your website, he will only be subscribed to your first list.
And only the second list has a welcome e-mail attached to it so only users subscribing from your module will get it.

When you send a Newsletter, you send it to your first list only.

By the way, even if you have the same users in your two lists and you send a Newsletter to your two lists at the same time, AcyMailing will handle the duplicates and none of your users will receive twice the Newsletter.

Very handy!

Sounds a roundabout way to acomplish the simplest of tasks, but it will do the job.

Was it not feasible to extend the options of radio buttons on the Config / Interfaces tab so that you could switch on / off the settings for module or component:

Or have the switches on the Lists themselves? For the lists they would be:


?

Sure it was possible.

The welcome message can be sent via com_contact, via virtuemart, via the AcyMailing component view, via the AcyMailing module, via the Joomla registration form, via CB, via JomSocial, via ccUsers...
Well, I feel it's a bit too much options... but indeed, we didn't think about splitting it to handle each case independently and made our life easier by using only one option.

Oh right, I didn't realise all the possible components / mods that could use acyba to send mails.

Fair enough.

I'll use the work round then.

Thanks for your help and discussion. Let me think of something else to throw at you! LOL!!!

I still have one of your posts I have to answer on my list...
