Not all at once, now! :)

Any ideas you guys/gals have?

Hereby my wish-list:

Profile Fields
Make it possible to define other profile fields like a checkbox, radio buttons, text area and select list. Besides public and hidden fields (those starting with an underscore) add another category "read-only": these are showed publicly but cannot be changed by a subscriber, e.g. by adding attribute "disabled" to the corresponding <input> tag.

API to login from other software

Currently I am using the following code in main.cgi (sub login) to login from a CMS, enter a specific admin screen (f=send_url_email) and pass another parameter (url=http://dadamailproject.com/ used by my modified "send_url_email"):

require DADA::App::Session;
my $dada_session = DADA::App::Session->new();

# login by means of a url: http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi?flavor=login&admin_password=password&admin_list=listname&auth_state=1&admin_option1=f=send_url_email&admin_option2=url=http://dadamailproject.com/

��� ��� ��� ��� $referer = "$DADA::Config::S_PROGRAM_URL?".$q->param('admin_option1') if($q->param('admin_option1'));
��� ��� ��� ��� $referer .= '&'.$q->param('admin_option2') if($q->param('admin_option2'));
��� ��� ��� ��� $referer .= '&'.$q->param('admin_option3') if($q->param('admin_option3'));
������� logout(-redirect => 0) if($q->param('admin_option1') && $dada_session->logged_into_diff_list(-cgi_obj => $q) == 1);
��
Would be nice if this kind of functionality can become part of the official dada code.

Language files

To make it easier to translate at least the public part of dada. If we can can agree about how to do this I am willing to do the coding like putting the english texts into language file(s) and replace them with variables. So when somebody wants to use a different language he "only" needs to translate these language files, besides the (public) templates of course. Currently we have to translate inside the Perl source code in main.cgi, error.pm etc.

Timestamps
Add time stamps when somebody (un)subscribes and when the subscription is confirmed, to make it possible to clean up the list automatically. E.g. to remove email addresses who are subscribed but not confirmed after xx days.
