Description

The AcyMailing plugin for Community Builder enables you to add a Mailing list subscription on your Community Builder registration form.

It also enables your users to modify their subscription by editing their profile.

Please make sure you didn't select any list in our (auto)Subscribe during the Joomla registration form plugin.

Install the plugin

• 
• Log in to your backend and click on the menu "Components -> Community Builder -> Plugin Management".
• At the bottom of the Plugin Management page of Community Builder, you will see an area enabling you to upload a new plugin.
• Browse for the AcyMailing plugin you just downloaded and then click on the button "Upload File & Install".
• You should now see the AcyMailing Plugin part of the Community Builder Plugins. Don't forget to publish the AcyMailing plugin.

Configure the plugin

• Visible Lists : The selected lists will be displayed as visible on your Registration form.
  You can easily choose one or several lists using the "select" button which will open a popup and display all your lists.
• Auto-subscribe to : The selected lists will be added on your Registration form but they will be hidden, which means that the user will be automatically subscribed to those lists without knowing it.
  Please do not select the same lists for the visible lists and auto-subscribe to lists since those lists will be hidden.
• Lists checked by default : The selected lists will be checked by default.
  Some countries do not allow you to check lists by default if it's not for "non-profit". This option will let you easily check some lists and not others in order to stay compliant with your local rules.
• Display Receive HTML/Text : If you turn Off this field, the option "receive : Html / Text" won't be displayed and the user will be added with the option "receive HTML" ON.
• Description as an overlay : You can add the description of the list in an overlay on the visible lists.
  Be careful! If you turn this option On, you might have conflicts with Internet Explorer and flash.
• Subscribe Caption : Text displayed for the subscription field on the CB Registration page. If you leave this field empty, the word "Subscription" will be used from your default language file.

This plugin will add three screens:

• A list selection on the Community Builder registration page (optional)
  
  



• A new tab on the CB User profile to display the subscription

• A new tab on the CB User profile so the user can manage his subscription

Frequently Asked Quetions

I published the AcyMailing CB Plugin but the lists are displayed at the top of my registration form, how can I order the lists so they appear at the bottom of my form?

You will be able to order your fields in Community Builder depending on their position.
Two fields with the same position can be moved and reordered so first, you should set a position to the AcyMailing tab:

Click on the menu Community Builder -> Tab Management and edit the AcyMailing plugin.
Select the position "Main area" and save the plugin. You can now order your lists at the bottom of the CB registration form by editing the ordering field.
