1. Why is it possible to add twice or more the same contact with the same email address? In my opinion it makes no sense and its dangerous to send the newsletter more than once to this people.
2. How can I expand the custom data with the mailing list grid? Where can I mange this data? Only from external?
First of all thank you for testing out the package!
1. No that looks like a bug, where are you adding this? The import feature should check for duplicates.... Are you adding it using the UI?
2. You can add custom data but not to the grid. If you are using members in Umbraco as the source for your subscribers you can use the values from the custom properties in you newsletter. Could you explain more what you would like to do?
1. It happenig it both features (import and in the UI).
2. Ok but how can I handle 20'000 subscribres. All importing to the members? I think I would be easier to handle it over your grid with custom data.... but I should have the possible to edit the custom data too.
I just tried installed the Newsletter Studio for Umbraco 7 yesterday, And I can also add more subscribers with the same e-mail address.
I used the UI to add the subscribers.
I just try it on Umbraco 7.1.8 and Newsletter Studio 2.1.0. if I don´t finish the email address I can´t add the person to the list be it seems that there is no validation on the email addess alredy is in the list of subscribers
1. I see - Sorry about that! I'll check it and make sure to fix this bug. But is the issue the same with imports? Are you sure?
2. Its on the list of new features but I can't give you any exact dates most likey during next year. The main focus for the upcomming releases will be to include the grid as an alternative to the RTE.
1. No not the same issue. I dragged the same contact in the import feature and it overwrite the same email address with the status as added but in my opinion it shouldn't import a contact with the same email address again.
2. Well that sound nice, but I hope that the custom properties editing is coming soon too :).
Yes, you can use the API for that. When you install the package there's a macro for this included, have a look at that code and use this in your custom macro.

Hi!
1. Thats strange - they should be handled. I can't reproduce that error.... could you explain all the steps to reproduce?
2. Okey. Well it would be better to import them but we don't have a UI for custom fields at the moment.

Hi
1. Yes I confirm the same steps as Dennis.
2. Do you have some plan to do that in a upcomig release? If yes when?

1. Thats right - I'll check this again. But at this stage it will not ad duplicates right?
2. It will be a priority during next year but I don't want to make a promise =D

1. Yes right.
2. :) but it will be a big feature if you could manage your subscribers as a contact database...

Hi!
1. I'll look at this and include fixes in upcomming releases.
2. True! I don't know if you have looked at Subscription Providers? You can actually build your own UI to handle this an just "feed" Newsletter Studio with that data. http://support.newsletterstudio.org/customer/portal/articles/1052901-subscription-providers ;
1. Ok thanks.
2. Yes I know, but a lot of people using an excel file... and I don't find any time to develope my own contact UI :).

Hi,
Are there any way how you can add subcribers through a form on a particular page, for example Contact Us, and will be added to the subscribers list?
Thanks
Regards
Hi Simon!
Yes, you can use the API for that. When you install the package there's a macro for this included, have a look at that code and use this in your custom macro.
All the best!
Hi Markus,
thank for that.
One more question. Where can I find and eventuallyedit the NewsletterSubscribe.cshtml, for example adding and new field, such as name pls.?
Hi!
The file is in the macroscripts folder and you can just look at the API ref (here http://support.newsletterstudio.org/customer/portal/articles/1053101-front-end-api) and change the code to work as you would like it to.
All the best!
Thanks Markus
