Hi

I have setup a page for newsletter signup (Email Marketing). On the page I have set up a paragraph with the Extranet app and these app settings:

  • Create profile / Manage subscription = selected
  • Create user - Template = "email_subscribe.html" (the standard template)
  • Create user - Approval = "By user"
  • Create user - User selectable groups = Three existing user groups (Group1, Group2, Group3)
  • Create user - Update existing users based on email match = selected
  • Create user - User email for user name = selected

In the template "email_subscribe.html" I have added code (the loop "SelectableGroups" and the field "UserManagement:User.SelectableGroup.Input") to render the three user groups selected in the "User selectable groups" app setting. Now a user on the frontend can signup to multiple user groups which I will use for different newsletters in Email Marketing. This works as I expect. But if a user which has already signed up for eg. "Group1" now signs up for "Group2" (same email address) the user looses his membership of "Group1". I thougt that the app setting "Update existing users based on email match" would update the user and the users group relations. Am I wrong here or is this a bug?

Well - it depends on how you see it.

If you submit 1 of 3 options checked, that is what you want. If you wanted both checked, you would have checked both options. Otherwise I cannot change my subscription to not have one of the options in it... That would also be a bug. It would be the same as if they specified 2 different names, the database would hold "Name of one, Name of 2" or something like that.

I would argue that if you have a user that is so keen to get newsletters, they will also figure out to login and change their subscription...

It is also possible to do a notification subscriber and do the update in that way.

The alternative is to get yet another setting to handle this.

Hi Nicolai

We will solve the problem using a notification subscriber. But I would very much like a new setting for the app to handle update of user group relations (when the app is used for managing newsletter subscriptions). Will you register this as a feature request? Thank you in advance smiley
