CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi all,

I'm trying to give a Civi/Drupal user a block on their home page to allow them to subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list.

I can't quite get my head around the connection between mailing lists, groups and unsubscribe/subscribe IDs.

Ideally, we would just have a URL the user can go to (via a link) and it'll subscribe or unsubscribe them but looking at the URL generated by the unsubscribe token - http://example/civicrm/mailing/optout?reset=1&jid=5&qid=6&h=7223113abb23eeb6 - this doesn't appear to relate to either a user or a group or a mailing. Which I'm sure is a good thing!

If anyone can give me any starting points, that would be much appreciated. I've looked at the API and again, I'm confused by the relationship between these three entities (users, groups and mailing lists - particularly mailing list unsubscribe IDs).

Thanks,

welly

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your reply - will this work for unsubscribing as well? If so, that would be brilliant.

Cheers!
