Re: [Djulia] Newsletter Builder v2.00 Beta 1
Hi Djulia,
I could probably post some code-edits to do that to the latest version (2.0) if it would be helpful. Basically we'd just add a field to the subscribe form for name and the subscriber table and then add it to the outgoing emails as well.
There are pros and cons of both approaches, we didn't include it because the less you ask of the user the more likely they are to subscribe, and we didn't want to over-complicate the form or want to support it being user definable (eg: do we add full name, or first and last fields, or first, last, and company, etc).
But I'd be happy to see if I can come up with a (unsupported) code patch for you (let me know if you want that).
Another idea we're thinking about for the future is the ability to specify a SQL query to get the subscriber list. So if you had another table with all the emails you could pull the name and email from that with a custom SQL query. If you used that option you wouldn't use the signup form.
Lastly, I wanted to let you know I've been thinking about how to implement language translation files on a per plugin basis to handle plugin specific language. Perhaps with a preset /lang/ folder that can come with the plugin.
Let me know any feedback, thanks!
