Title: Remove subscriber from list1 when added to list2
Post by: dtrack on November 29, 2005, 06:58:14 am

This is a feature I'd love to see. The ability to move customers from a 'leads' list to a 'customer' list.

i.e. When setting up a responder for customers I'd like to be able to select from a drop down list which responder I want them to be unsubscribed from.

Thanks

Dean

Hi,

Excellent idea, but I think you'll need more than a dropdown, since you may to Unsub them from several lists (or all other lists), I know that is something I would like... for now you need to do it manually, delete from each of the lists they may be in when adding to a specific list.

Good idea...

What you can also do is put some code such as follows into a file named "signup-xtra.php" in your main ListMail folder.

This example removes users from lists 2 and 3 when they subscribe or are added or imported to List 1.

Code: [Select]

<?phpif($list=='1'){ mysql_query("update $utable set cnf = '2' where (list = '2' or list = '3') and email like '$email';");}?>

I will consider the best way to make this an option and put it on the list of future updates.  I think a simple text box on the List Settings page accepting comma-delimited list numbers would work.  "When a user is added, remove them from these lists [2,3       ]"

Regards

What about using the CUSTOM MySQL insert script (Perl) or other flavor... I'm guessing that this signup-xtra.php is NOT called in that situation, correct?

If that is the case you need to do the deleting in your Custom Insert Script for the list...

Yes, that's right.  The only way to get around this would be to log when each user has signup-xtra.php run on them and then run signup-xtra.php in a loop during dailymail for those users who haven't had it run.

I've been away from the forum for quite a while. Did this feature ever get added?
It's a really important feature for marketers.

Thanx

I too would like to know if this was ever achieved?

This is still only possible with the signup-xtra.php custom modification mentioned in this post.

signup-xtra.php will not run automatically on users inserted into the database with a custom script.  What you can do in this case is view signup-xtra.php to find out the variables it expects, set the variables (and list) to the correct values for the curent user, and then load signup-xtra.php from your script.
