Email confirmation on profile or profile on newsetter subscription ?
January 21, 2009, 10:43:04 am
Hi,

My goal is to offer a form :
- First name,
- Last Name,
- email,
- whatever field 1...

and a list of newsletter they can subscribe to:
- general news
- specific news about this
- specific news about that

When someone registers, she got an email "please confirm that you want to register click this link..."

Two existing features provide part of the solution:
1) /civicrm/profile/create?reset=1&gid=n
That allows to show the right fields as defined by the profile and add the contact to a group
but
1a) it can't add to more than one group
1b) it doesn't provide a confirmation email

and
2) the newsletter registration
but doesn't offer more than one email field (no other field)

Question for those knowing civi in detail, What is easier to modify, add a profile on the newsletter registration, or add a confirmation email feature on the profile ?

A third way that is even easier to implement or a magic feature a missed is also more than welcome.

If CiviMail is enabled, and you add the "groups" field to profile, you get the desired behavior :). The groups that are exposed are the ones marked as "public" and of type: "mailing list"

i.e. it becomes a double opt-in, user gets an email for each group they've opted into asking for a confirmation

Hi,

maybe I'm blind as a bat, but I can't find the "groups" field!

I checked: CiviMail is enabled and the group is marked public and is of the type mailinglist.

Please give me a hint.

Hi Lobo,

user gets an email for each group they've opted into asking for a confirmation ?

What if the user subscribe 10 newsletter groups at the frontend profile form.

The user need to open 10 emails with same subject and click on that link 10 times !?

Anyway to make them all-in-one ?

Or disable the Subscription Confirmation ? (I don't know how to disable  :()

no. the user will get 10 emails and need to click on them. You are subscribing them to 10 different mailing lists.

u'll need to modify the code to disable.

Hi,

I have exactly the opposite problem (on a 2.1 install).

I have the profile that includes the groups, but when I check them, no mail is sent, and they are directly added to the group.

To recap:
I created a profile with a few fields, or public visibles
I added a "field" groups

On the /civicrm/profile/create?reset=1&gid=1 I have the choice between the (two) groups mailinglist and public

If I check them both, no mails are sent, and the contact is created and in the groups.

It is my understanding that it isn't the behaviour expected. Correct ?

most likely you dont have civimail enabled. The double opt-in is based on that component being enabled

Hi,

Yes I do have it. The double opt in works only on the "civicrm" registration link, (but it doesn't allow you to request additional fields). That's why I'm trying using the profile.

Any other suggestion ?
