Hey Max,
I'd like to get a quote from you on the form/integration I have been working on (posted here http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=16&t=11527)
And see what it would take to:
1) get a form that has name, email, password (joomla password) and subscribe/unsubscribe options that would check to the password against the joomla user registration and then either add the person to a new database table or unsubscribe them from it. Ultimately, I would like the users to remain in the table once added, just have their 'subscribe status' changed.

2) Then, from this table have the ChronoComments send all the 'subscribed' users in that table the Admin Notification Email..

The way I see it, maybe the table has only the name, email and a '0' for unsubscribed and a'1' if unsubscribed, as the password would only needed to be verified against the joomla registration, not stored again. If a user subscribes, it checks the username and password against the joomla install, and if ok, checks to see if the user exists in the table under an 'unsubscribed' status, if not it stores there name and email with a '1' for subscribed, if they are currently in the table and unsubscribed it just changes the status from '0' to '1' for subscribed. If someone unsubscribes, the username and password are again verified and the '1' is changed to a '0' for unsubscribed. Unless, of course there is a cleaner, easier way to implement this.. I'm all ears!

Let's talk😀
Thanks

Hi Jesse,

So the form will be able to register user in Joomla also or only add them to the list ?

Cheers

Hey Max,

No, the form will only check the unsername and password against the joomla registered users table to verify they are in fact a reg. user.. if that passes it will then store their name and email and subscribe status in a new table - say adminnotify_
If they are not a user, it will throw and error telling them to register before they can subscribe to the notifications. All people accessing this should already be registered, so that shouldn't be a problem, but that's just in case..

So, in the new table should be Names, Emails and Subscribe Status' for each person.. then if they 'unsubscribe' they have to do the same steps as above - input username, password - which are then verified against the joomla reg. users table,.. if verified the script will then change the Subscribe Status, leaving the persons data in the table for reference or in case they wish to 're-subscribe'... make sense??

Hi Jesse, makes sense, I will PM you a quote now!

Hey Max,
I spoke with the pastor and that is acceptable. For clarification's sake, can you reply to me with the end results and implementation that you understand from my request, that way I can clarify any points if needed and we make sure we are both clear on what to expect at the end.
I assume as with other projects your payment will be at the end of development, how do you prefer to be paid?
Thanks again,
Jesse

Hi Jesse,

after reaching to an agreement I prefer all details to be in PM, I will PM you now!
