Thread

I have upgraded a site from EE1 to 2 for the first time - running v2.0.2 Build 20100430 and forum module 3.0.1.

On EE 1, I had the following code in the forum registration form to allow someone to join the default mailing list on registering:

<input type="checkbox" name="mailinglist_subscribe" value="1" checked="checked"  />

While this code still seems to work which is the main thing, something is slightly awry because the ‘click the link to activate’ email just has {mailing_list} in it instead of parsing this and replacing it with ‘My mailing list name’.

Using the standard mailing list subscribe form results in the mailing list name appearing in the email correctly.

So I’m just wondering if someone would know what I need to do to get the mailing list name to parse correctly? It’s minor - I can always just hard code the email template - I’m more concerned that the mailing list name not getting parsed means that something bigger is going wrong behind the scenes, even though people do seem to end up on the mailing list ok! 😊

Thanks for your time

Janine, this sounds like it could be a defect. Let me ask the dev team for more information. Just wanted to remind you that the team is in SF for EECI2010 right now, but they’ll be back around the end of the week. Thanks in advance for your patience.

No worries Sue - even if it is a defect, it’s a *tiny* one 😊

Thanks, Janine. We’ll update this thread when we know more. We appreciate your patience.

Any news on this issue? I would also like to be able to register new members and subscribe them to a mailing list in a single operation.

thanks

Hi agregat,

Have you tried this and it isn’t working? Please describe exactly what is not happening as you expect.
