Christian Rößler	Thursday 14 May 2009 5:21:44 am A customer needs to be able to - fill out a form (a class-representation with 'collects information' ) - register automatically when submitting the form ( after selecting the available newsletters ) After evaluating different kind of approaches (hooks, workflows), i am about to develop a custom datatype (name it newsletter-register) which will - create a checkbox saying 'register to a newsletter' - create list of available newsletters - after submitting the form registering the user to a newsletter re-using the eznewsletter-logic plus using double-opt-in per default. --------------- Questions: How would you do it? Is my approach dumb and do you have a better idea? Due to the lack of knowledge (documentation) of custom events/workflows in interaction with 'content/action' module, i came up with the idea of the datatype. would be great to get some input! cheers, christian Hannover, Germany eZ-Certified http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/395613

Björn Dieding@xrow.de	Thursday 14 May 2009 10:56:17 am http://projects.ez.no/newsletteraddons we also have a similar datatype... If we use it again I would things a bit different. e.g. bind the subscription options not to the newsletter type . I would rather bind it to the subscription group.

Christian Rößler	Wednesday 20 May 2009 4:45:53 am Sebastiaan, Björn, thanks a lot for your input. I appreciate! Studying your solutions gave me a few hints on how to solve my particular problem. When I'm finished programming (currently i do project-hopping) I'll post it as an ez-community-project - if this is ok for you. I'll definitely let you know when this is complete - before creating the project. The next part would be to improve/rewrite the ezNewsletter :) Cheers, Christian Hannover, Germany eZ-Certified http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/395613
