subscribe for newsletters for everyone

Is it possible  to include an option for subscription of news letters for non-registered users?  I am using MSSQL database. Does it make any sense that if I try to add that feature with my local version of mojoportal? (I mean will it create any exception etc)

This will be implemented in the near future in mojoPortal.

Asad, you are free to do as you wish, but I think you are wasting effort developing duplicate functionality.

Best,

Joe

Re: subscribe for newsletters for website viditors.

Hi Joe,

What is that causes I decided to do it, Is my approach to News Letters Manager as a separated module. I don't belief that this module is a core functionality because a company that haven't news letters no needs to a newsletter tab in user profile. In other hand we can develop professional News letters Manager for sale news letter or getting subscribe  fee for business company whereas some organization no need this module. Is subject is very important for me as a artist and idealist person. I hope you have time to ensure me that news letters manger must be a core module so that I stop my work and use my efforts on other modules.

Best,

Asad

mojoPortal has a Newsletter in the core and it will remain a core feature and it will continue to evolve as I develop it.

Nothing stops you from making an external one if you think you can make a better one, but I do not see a need for it.

Best,

Joe

Re: subscribe for newsletters for website viditors.

Hi Asad,

I appreciate your interest, but I have my own plans and design and am not really in need of feedback about a different approach.

I will build it as I have planned to build it.

Best,

Joe

Re: subscribe for newsletters for website viditors.

Hi Asad,

Please don't misunderstand. When I say I don't see a need for you to build an external email system, I say it only to give you advice. If you want to make one anyway, it does not bother me for you to do that. But you have not yet seen what my Newsletter will have for features, once you see what I build you may regret spending a month of time on an external one or maybe you really will make a better one. but I will be surprised if you make one that is so much better that people will want to use it instead of the one in the core. Still it is your choice whether to work on an external email feature and do not think it will offend me if you do that, so its not a matter of going out of scope. I'm only telling you I don't see a need for it as I believe the improvements I will make to the core newsletter will meet the needs of most people.

Best,

Joe

Re: subscribe for newsletters for website viditors.

Hi Joe,

I appreciate your advice. My porpuse was a newsletters manager that use of core email system not an external email system. However I wait for see improvments of existing newsletter system,then I will decide continue it or stop it.

Thanks in advanced,

Asad
