Is it possible to create a checkbox list of mailing lists and have a user:

a. subscribe to multiple lists
b. unsubscribe from multiple lists

by simply checking and un-checking the appropriate boxes and submitting the form.

{exp:mailinglist:form list="list1,list2,..."} // list created via php or java

Join our Mailing List

<input type="text" name="email" value="{email}" /></p>

<input type="submit" value="submit" /></p>

{/exp:mailinglist:form}

any ideas would be great.

Thanks
Pete

There’s nothing built into EE to accomplish this, so I’m moving this thread over to the CodeShare Corner.

Is there nothing I can do to allow a site member to select an email newsletter he wants to subscribe to in EE2?

Thanks,

Andrew

Me too! It is exactly the feature I am looking for

Here is my solution for a multiple list submit:

1st the template with all lists

<form id="dummy" name="dummy">
 
 <h1>Newsletter</h1>

 <ul id="mailing_lists">
{exp:query sql="SELECT * FROM exp_mailing_lists ORDER BY list_id"}
        <li><input type="checkbox" name="list_name" value="{list_name}" class="list_names">{list_title}</li>
{/exp:query}
 </ul>

        <input type="text" name="email" value="{if email}{email}{/if}" id="email"></p>
        <input type="submit" value="eintragen" id="newsletter_submit"></p>

 </form>

<div id="dynamic"></div>

2nd

some jQuery code to handle the requests

$('input#newsletter_submit').click(function(fx) { 
  
  fx.preventDefault();
  var my_url;
  
  $('input:checkbox:checked.list_names').val(function(index,value) {
    
    my_url = 'index.php/client/newsletter_ajax/' + value + '/' +$('#email').val();
    // alert(my_url);

    $.ajax({
     url: my_url, 
     cache: true, 
     success: function(message) {
      $(this).addClass("done");
      $('#dynamic').append(message);
     }
    });

  });

   
 
 });

and the 3rd part: the above requested ajax template “newsletter_ajax”

{exp:mailinglist:form list="{segment_3}"}
<input type="text" name="email" value="{segment_4}" />
<input type="submit">
{/exp:mailinglist:form}

Needs some final work:
The result should be invisible and submitted by default.

Function:

Part 1)
You generate checkboxes with all mailinglists

{exp:query sql="SELECT * FROM exp_mailing_lists"}

Part 2)
Loop with jQuery through all checked checkboxes, and pass the value (name of the list and email address) to ajax requests

Part 3)
the AJAX code now generates HTML code to subscribe to the requested lists.

This works for me.

Part 4)
To do: make the via AJAX returned HTML Code invisible and click / submit it automatically

Many thanks, Komtur, that looks very promising.

I don’t have your level of skill, so please could you explain where the various chunks of code should be placed?
