Is there a way to sign up on a list in acymail from a form silent ?` When i use redirect i get the message from acymail but i want to show an own page.

Remind me how you are doing it.

using the url redirect on form plugin. https://www.acyba.com/acymailing/105-acymailing-fabrik.html

Does anyone have a solution for this ?

I don't think there is one. You are redirecting to ACY's page, at which point you are outside our control.

The only relatively quick solution I could think of would be to do it through a CURL call in a PHP submission script. So instead of redirecting the browser with the subscribe query string, run that as a CURL request on the server side, then redirect the browser to your own page.

So you could run the plugin onAfterProcess, something like this:

$myEmail = '{yourtable___youremail}';
if (!empty($myEmail)) {
   $url = COM_FABRIK_LIVESITE . "index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=sub&task=optin&hiddenlists=2&user[email]=" . $myEmail;
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt');
   $data = curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
}

You may need to use just the short element name, like {youremail}, when running onAfterProcess.

And change your redirect to point to your own landing page.

You could also check the content of $data to work out if the subscription worked or not, and provide your own feedback.

Actually, looking at ACY's API, it wouldn't be too hard to use that instead of doing a CURL ...

$myEmail = '{yourtable___youremail}';
if (!empty($myEmail)) {
   if (! include_once JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_acymailing/helpers/helper.php')
   {
      throw new RuntimeException("Acymailing not installed");
      return false;
    }

   $myUser = new stdClass();
   $myUser->email = $myEmail;
   //If you require a confirmation but don't want the user to have to confirm his subscription via the API, you can set the confirmed field to 1:
   //$myUser->confirmed = 1;
   $subscriberClass = acymailing_get('class.subscriber');
   $subid = $subscriberClass->save($myUser);

   $newSubscription = array();
   $newList = array();
   $newList['status'] = 1;
   $newSubscription[2] = $newList; // Replace 2 with the ID of the list.

   $subscriberClass->saveSubscription($subid,$newSubscription);
}

I haven't tested this, so it may not work first time, but it shouldn't take much tweaking to make it work.

Hi
Tried this and the user gets add but not the name. Another thing is that he isnt added to any list. I have replaced the 2 with 11 wich is the id on my list.

 

[cheesegrits]

I edited my previous post and removed one line of code.

Try that.

Hello, at a guess it would be:

$myEmail = '{yourtable___youremail}';
$myName = '{yourtable___yourname}';

if (!empty($myEmail)) {
   if (! include_once JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_acymailing/helpers/helper.php')
   {
      throw new RuntimeException("Acymailing not installed");
      return false;
    }

   $myUser = new stdClass();
   $myUser->email = $myEmail; 
   $myUser->name = $myName;

   //If you require a confirmation but don't want the user to have to confirm his subscription via the API, you can set the confirmed field to 1:
   //$myUser->confirmed = 1;
   $subscriberClass = acymailing_get('class.subscriber');
   $subid = $subscriberClass->save($myUser);

   $newSubscription = array();
   $newList = array();
   $newList['status'] = 1;
   $newSubscription[2] = $newList; // Replace 2 with the ID of the list.

   $subscriberClass->saveSubscription($subid,$newSubscription);
}
