How to edit Subscriptions

I have a new thread of blog posts each year. i.e. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and soon 2016. These are under a common category which does not change.

Subscribers who have subscribed to earlier years such as 2014, would like to be subscribed automatically to 2016.

How can I move these people easily?

I have not been able to find any editing tools for subscribers. Perhaps I am missing something?

regards,
David
Hello David,

Correct me if I'm wrong, when you say thread, did you mean a category? I'm sorry but it is not possible to edit a subscription unless you modify it through your database. You can find the jos_easyblog_subscriptions table and edit the uid column based on the new category ID.

Hi Nick,

Yes, each year is a sub-category containing a "thread" of posts.

Okay. I will do it through the DB for now.
Would be a nice thing to have in the future- i.e. e ability to edit subscribers. As there is already an import facility, a first start could be an export facility so that they can at least be edited even if external to EasyBlog.

Regds,
Dave

Hello David,

Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps, you can write it in our Voices page here: http://www.stackideas.com/voices/easyblog and our developers will get back to you.

Have done so.

A further query:

You have "jos_site_subscription" and "jos_easyblog_subscriptions" tables. If I put someone into the site_subscription table, must I put them in the other table as well (with utype=site)? Or is it sufficient for them to be in the site table only? Why are there two tables?

Regards,
Dave

Hello Dave,

You can put only in jos_easyblog_subscriptions. We don't use jos_easyblog_site_subscription anymore.

Many thanks.

So can I delete the old site table (presumably from a much earlier version)?

Cheers,
Dave
