Nathan Kelly	Monday 28 November 2005 7:14:46 pm Hi all, the site I'm currently working on has a newsletter section, basically its just a folder[class] called "Newsletter". I would like to have a checkbox on the user registration form that allows the user to specify wether or not they would like to subscribe to the newsletter. If they select the check box the newsletter node will be added to their notifications and they will be able to un-subscribe from the notification/settings area. Is this possible? I fear the limitation will be that the user will not be created until [after] they have clicked the register button, therefore the notification can't be added until [after] the user exists. This may need to be a two step process but I'm not sure where to start, can anyone give me some suggestions on how this might be achieved? Cheers! Pardon me while I burst into flames...

Have a look at the contrib I made : http://ez.no/community/contribs/workflow/personal_folder It comes with a "post activate" trigger and you will also find a patch for the "post register" trigger in the comments.
Nathan Kelly	Tuesday 29 November 2005 6:44:09 pm Hi Lex, there seems to be a lot of patching to do for something so simple, is this the only way this can be done? If so how much of your extension do I need to change or disregard to do it, I'm not very adept when it comes to PHP (in fact I'm useless) so your files don't make much sense to me. I'll give it a try but I don't like my chances, thanks for the help. Cheers! Pardon me while I burst into flames...
