Hi,

I am new to web baker. Love it Smiley

I was wondering if there is a module that would allow me to have a simple text field, which would take in the users email address. Then store this and allow to send the stored email addresses an email in one action?

I notice there are various modules but all I want is the user to enter their email to subscribe or unsubscribe.

I dont want it to be a login functionality or anything like that.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

you can use the builtin user registration for that. Create a group and set this group in the WB options as registration group. If you now have a template wich has the registration code in it (ALLCss) a user can register in the frontend by typing the username and email and the gots sended the password with email.

You could also use the form module and create a one field form and have the results of that field emailed to you.

Thanks for the quick response Smiley

Both sound very viable however not 100% going to do what im after.

I know some php and will look into wether I have time to design a sign-up module perhaps.

I dont know if this would be of any use to anyone else tho?

ok, i am new to wb however I assume this will be easy to add the email addresses

All that would be needed is the following:

New Database table to store email addresses?
function to add email addresses to database (check see if already exists or if needs to be added)
function to delete email from database (check see if it does infact exist)


The next part is where I think i will get stuck.

How do i write a module to send an email to all the email addresses stored in my new table?

Thanks in advance

ps
Please let me know if i have missed something out or if I am wrong in some way

Hello,

if you would have said earlier what you really want you've got other answers. So what you are looking for is already possible in combination from the massmail modul and the user registration. Unfortunately the massmail needs to be adapted to WB 2.7. It only works with 2.6.7.
