Re: List Management Question
I am facing this problem myself at the moment However, I have to
figure out a solution yet Taking a look at the mysql backend, the
database design is a bit weak There should be a table for
subscribers, a table for lists, and another table that maps
subscribers to lists
In a nutshell, that's what will happen in 3
1 (the alpha that's out
will has this design, already)
I don't know if this'll help the scenarios everyone is facing, though:
wanting to send the same message to more than one list
This did used to be a feature in Dada Mail
It was removed, when subscriber fields were introduced - subscriber
fields could be used instead to make dynamic sublists
The reason for the removal was that there was going to be a mass of
confusion if you ever, say, wanted to send a message to part of more
than one list
Each time a subscriber is subscribed to a mailing list,
the subscription fields would be duplicated and could, potentially, be
different
In 3
1, the subscriber fields info is separate from the table that
tells what addresses are subscribed to which lists, so this won't be a
problem anymore
The "Send to more than one list" feature could
potentially be reintroduced
I really really want to get 3
1 out
The last thing I'm working is
allowing a subscriber to update their email address
It's a lot harder
than it seems, though, so It's taking a slow time
The new features also don't have any TAP tests associated with them
and there's no docs on the new API, both of which are not so much fun
to make and take a long time to make right
Sigh
