Newsletter management via vBulletin

[SystemLogic]

I had a good idea for a hack. I don't think it has been done before, but if it has, please let me know where I can find it.

Basically it's a newsletter management system.

How it works is this:

When you register for a forum there is an option with a check box to subscribe to the sites newsletter. You could have it so there are multiple newsletters, kind of like this: (View attached image)

Then in the admin, there should be an option where you can e-mail just users subscribed to a list, or multiple lists, whatever. That way you are just e-mailing the users that are subscribed. To unsubscribe they simply change their profile in the CP by unchecking the newsletter subscription.

Anybody else think this is a good idea? I personally pay $20/Month just for a list management, and something like this would save me the money.

I would love this hack. Antoher few ideas, make it so it can have multiple newsletters and html or text. I would throw in a few bucks to have some develop this.

Considering its from vBulletin 2.0 or 2.2 and over 2 years old, i highly doubt it :)

Hm if you dont need the "User allows to get E-Mails from adminstrators" function, you can do it on an easy way: Simply change the phrases and call it newsletter. While creating an e-mail list you put in, if you want to send them to all people or only the ones, that have marked this field with yes.

I am currently looking into a newsletter and e-mail program, there are those out there like constant contact etc. But a newsletter hack that can confirm a user or e-mail address upon sign up.

Like "Get Our Newsletter" for example.

I hope this hack comes available.

Well, I did not see the date issue, I did a search under newsletter.

"sorry"!

2.5 years, cant we just prune all the useless posts? I find this site almost useless sometimes because I search for things and when I find something, and go all the way through it - it ends up being for an OLD version of VB. There needs to be a hacks database like the old site. A place you can go for accurate, up to date hacks.

It's a pain in the neck. Just PRUNE THEM.
