Hello everyone,
[ ]
The big change that'll happen, and I may want some feedback on this, is that what's filled out in the subscriber fields per subscriber will be shared on any lists the subscriber may find themselves on
Hi Justin,
This only make sense to me when there is also the possibility to have "list-specific" subscriber fields As a reseller, many of my customers are giving trainings and workshops For each training they do have a separate mailing list What my customers actually want is to maintain all kind of information about their clients e g which trainings they have followed, if they have already payed, if they want to receive news letters etc Most of this info is only applicable for a specific training, that is for a specific mailing list So for the subscriber profile, it's a good idea to have shared subscriber fields But for many other info, list-specific subscriber fields (public and non-public) are needed as well That also implies that on the subscribers profile interface, it should be possible for a subscriber to edit these list-specific subscriber fields marked as "public"
From a technical point of view, I guess you only need to add one extra field to the subscriber field its record This extra field represents the list name to which the subscriber field belongs If nothing is filled in (or "All" or something like that) it is valid for all lists But maybe it's not that simple??
By the way, will the object which represents a collection of subscribers (basically, a mailing list) only point to subscriber's profiles in this new setup? That is, not having a list of email addresses anymore for each mailing list, but just containing a list of ID's which refer to the corresponding subscriber's profiles? Personally I would prefer it this way to avoid duplicate storage of email addresses, but I guess this will not be backwards compatible with existing maling lists so an import tool is needed then, or?
