README

• Subcribe and unsubscribe for newsletters for TYPO3 >= 9.5
• Depends on tt_address
• Scheduler task to delete unconfirmed subscribers after a while (since v3.1.0)

What does it do?

• Provides a plugin to double optin subscribe
• Provides a plugin to double optin unsubscribe
• Provides field in tt_address to generate unsubscribe link in direct_mail mailings

Breaking in 5.0

• If you use the default templates and styles you have to add the class form-input to input fields and form-checkbox to the checkboxes. Ther former approach overrode the appearance of every checkbox on pages, where the static template of this extension was included.

Caveats

This extension changes the behaviour of tt_address and disables the soft delete feature which means that deleted records are removed from the database directly instead of being marked as deleted.

This might lead to problems if you already have an existing set of records in the table tt_address.

To mitigate this behaviour you can purge all deleted records from tt_address.
Or you can reenable the original behaviour by adding this code to Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_address.php in your sitepackage:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_address']['ctrl']['delete'] = 'deleted';

Removed hard deletion of tt_address records. Because of https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/ExtTablesSql.html#auto-generated-structure the field "delete" wouldn't be generated otherwise. Use Scheduler Task to delete soft-deleted records instead.

    plugin: Subscribe
    routes:
      -
        routePath: '/confirm/create'
        _controller: 'Subscribe::createConfirmation'
      -
        routePath: '/confirm/{confirm}/{uid}'
        _controller: 'Subscribe::doConfirm'
        _arguments:
          confirm: subscriptionHash
          uid: uid
      -
        routePath: '/unsubscribe/{unsubscribe}/{uid}'
        _controller: 'Subscribe::unsubscribe'
        _arguments:
          unsubscribe: subscriptionHash
          uid: uid

Unsubscribe link in direct_mail

1. First add the field subscription_hash to the fields of direct mail in the extension configuration of direct mail:
2. Add the link in your mail template:
   <a href="http://www.domain.tld/page/unsubscribe/###USER_subscription_hash###/###USER_uid###">unsubscribe</a> where this unsubscribe/###USER_subscription_hash###/###USER_uid###" is the important part.
   Note: The subscribe plugin must be inserted on the page "page" in that url.

Salutation in direct_mail

1. Add 'salutation' field (see above 'subscription_hash')
2. Add ###USER_salutation### on the page

Scheduler Tasks / Console Commands

There are scheduler tasks / console commands available (TYPO3 v10 only) to fill empty database fields in tt_address:

• newslettersubscribe:fillsalutation
  Updates the salutation field based on the sys_language_uid and gender fields of the tt_address records. The salutation can be configured via TypoScript.
• newslettersubscribe:fillsubscriptionhash
  Updates the subscription_hash field. This is especially handy if there are subscriptions added manually in the TYPO3 backend or you have legacy data in tt_address. The subscription_hash is necessary for the unsubscribe link in direct_mail to work.

To do

• creating ajax submit
• update documentation
