Is there a way for me to be notified when someone unsubscribes from my mailing list?

Anyone?

Hi Don,

There isn’t any feature for notification on mailing list un-subscription.

Also, there isn’t any hook associated with un-subscription process.

So if you would like to have this feature you need to put hack/code for sending email in file “/expressionengine/modules/mailinglist/mob.mailinglist.php” within the function unsubscribe() so that you can get notified when someone unsubscribes from my mailing list.

Thanks Bhashkar.  I was afraid of that.  I’m not comfortable enough to come up with such a hack from scratch.  Know of anyone that has tried this that I could use as a jumping off point?  All I’m looking for is an email to a designated address that tells me the email address that unsubscribed.  Nothing fancy at all.

Don,

Which version of ExpressionEngine you are using.

If you would like I can share some code which you can put into the specified file within my previous message.

That would be incredibly kind of you!!  I’m running v2.5.2 at the moment.

Hi Don,

Put the below code after line number 505 in the file “system/expressionengine/modules/mailinglist/mob.mailinglist.php”

OR after the line of code:

$this->EE->db->delete('mailing_list', array('authcode' => $id));

put these code:

$query = $this->EE->db->select('email')->get_where('mailing_list', array('authcode' => $id));

if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
 $unsub_email = $query->row('email');
 $message = "Email un-subscribed from your maillist: ".$unsub_email;

 $to_email = "youemailaddress";
 $email_subject = "Unsubscribed from mailing list";

 $this->EE->load->library('email');
 $this->EE->load->helper('text');

 $this->EE->email->EE_initialize();
 $this->EE->email->wordwrap = true;
 $this->EE->email->mailtype = 'html';
 $this->EE->email->from($this->EE->config->item('webmaster_email'), $this->EE->config->item('webmaster_name'));
 $this->EE->email->to($to_email);
 $this->EE->email->subject($email_subject);
 $this->EE->email->message(entities_to_ascii($message));
 $this->EE->email->send();
}

See in the code, you need to update value of $to_email with your email.

Please share if you are facing any problem with this code.

Thanks,

Awesome!  Thank you so much Bhashkar!!
