Best practice question - contribution page, profiles and newsletters
April 13, 2015, 08:44:36 am
Hi there. I have a question about what the best way to set something up.  I am using Drupal 7 and CiviCRM 4.6.

I have a contribution page, where I want to add people to a newsletter group when they make a donation. I know that there are urls in emails that go out that allow someone to come back and remove themselves from groups, but I would also like to have these users be able to find and edit their profile, see previous donations, etc.

Is there a way to do this just in CiviCRM? Do I have to create Drupal Users? I am currently trying to do everything with CiviCRM profiles, but would it be better to use Drupal webforms? What is your experience and what do you recommend as best practices?

Thanks in advance.
