"No Overwrite" for Subscriber Importing and Adding - 2008/05/15 11:40 It will be good if there is a "No Overwrite" option available for importing subscriber and adding subscriber at the backend.

Some existing subscribers may have already unsubscribed from the list. Unhappiness may occur if their emails happen to appear in the importing list and they are assigned to the list again.

Re:"No Overwrite" for Subscriber Importing and Adding - 2008/05/15 18:34 Hello afatac,

In our import process, we add the new subscribers and we subscribe all users from the list to the newsletter(s).

Someone who imports a users list wants to subscribe all the user and not only the new users. The users list can come from another web site which has some different lists than the new web site.

So, I mean it's impossible to define who will be subscribed or not to a specific list. You have to do case by case. *** Please, read our official documentation before posting. Thank you ***

Best regards,
Jonathan

Re:"No Overwrite" for Subscriber Importing and Adding - 2008/05/16 09:44 Hi Jonathan,

Sorry that may be I did not explain clearly.

When importing a csv file, some of the email addresses may already exist in the current subscriber list.

The "No Overwrite" option is to prevent the exisitng email addresses from being overwritten silently.

With this option checked during the importing process, imported email addresses that are already exisitng in the subscriber list will not be imported and a warning list will be display.

As a result, we know which email addresses are already exist and hence taking necessary action.

Re:"No Overwrite" for Subscriber Importing and Adding - 2008/05/16 18:57 Hello afatac,

I see what you mean.
You can display when an email already exists.

Edit the file class.subscribers.php in the directory
<joomla>/administrator/components/com_acajoom/classes/

Find the lines :

Code:


 if ($subscriberId<1) {
  $erro->ck = subscribers::insertSubscriber($subscriber, $subscriberId);
  $erro->Eck(__LINE__ , '8650');
}

Replace by :

Code:


 if ($subscriberId<1) {
  $erro->ck = subscribers::insertSubscriber($subscriber, $subscriberId);
  $erro->Eck(__LINE__ , '8650');
} else {
  echo '<br />'.acajoom::printM('red' , 'Email already exists: ' . $subscriber->email);
}

*** Please, read our official documentation before posting. Thank you ***

Best regards,
Jonathan

Re:"No Overwrite" for Subscriber Importing and Adding - 2008/05/21 16:38 Hi,

I have tried and yes, it shows the duplicated email addresses. But import action is still taking place for these email addresses.

It would be even better if import action is skipped for the duplicated email addresess.
