Hi guys,

I realize there is some integration with Acymailing and Easysocial on filtering within the Acymailing component (you can now manipulate users within Acy based on their Easysocial profile details). However, what is missing, and I think which would have to come from the Stackideas side is a way to integrate Acymailing in to the Easysocial registration form and profile edit. Perhaps the way to do it is as a custom field in Profile Types, allowing a user at registration and profile edit to opt in to an Acymailing list or multiple lists.

The filtering feature by Acy is seen here:

But I suppose the other issues above need to come from Stackideas.

Thanks for listening!

Jordan
Hello Jordan,

I guess the best way is to actually create a custom field which would then hook into AcyMailing as soon as the user registers on the site. However, right now, our hands are pretty tied down to our internal development and I am not really sure if we actually have the time to create a new custom field that does this.

It's an amazingly good and powerful extension. You would think Stackideas made it

Haha, if they are already taking the initiative to build the app, I would rather leave it to them because they know best how to render their stuffs but we'll see what Adrien has to say

That's true Mark, but I don't think from with Acy or with a plugin that you could hook in to EasySocial profile editing could you? So if for example there was a custom field with Acy preferences in one's profile, presumably that would have to be developed from the EasySocial side? I think they are planning simply to use a plugin to integrate with the registration system, as they do for Joomla's registration form. But beyond that, I would not think there would be a way to edit ones Acy preferences within EasySocial. I could easily be wrong of course

@Mark

An offer for you, whenever you have time, as I know you are fully committed to ES 1.3 and EB 4.0 among many other things.

I have used a number of mailing/newsletter products including Benchmark, MailChimp and AcyMailing before, but regard Acy as the best of the bunch by a mile, placing it in the same worldclass bracket as Stackideas for product quality and support.

If you download the Free version it does not contain all the features, but the (paid) Enterprise version does and I have installed the Enterprise version with extra plugins for ED/EB/ES, MijoShop and JReviews as well as a responsive newsletter template on my site.

You (or anyone from Stackideas) are welcome to access the Enterprise version on my site if you wish to see how it all fits together, before I make any changes to turn it into a live newsletter towards the end of June.

Thanks Richard / Jordan. Let's just wait for Adrien from Acymailing and see what they have to say about this. I am tired of waiting for others to integrate with EasySocial and will be going to build this on our own if they are not going to add additional fields during EasySocial's registration
