Freeform | mailinglist_opt_in="no" parameter explanation
Development and Programming
Hello,
Working with the Freeform module and trying to use the mailinglist_opt_in=”no” function. The manual states:
The ‘mailinglist_opt_in’ parameter, when set to no, overrides the default setting and immediately subscribes the user to the given mailinglists.
Does that mean that it doesn’t send the activation email? If yes is seems NOT to be working, but as mentioned maybe I don’t understand the parameter properly.
Thanks for any advice
UPDATE: Even if mailinglist_opt_in is set to no a in
mailinglist_opt_in="no"it still sends the activation email.
Which version of FreeForm are you using?
Sorry forgot to mention. latest 2.5.1 version
I can replicate the problem here as well. I’d recommend you mention this to Mitchell by email. He comes around fairly frequently, but not every day.
Allright. Thanks Sue for checking that. I made a quick dirty hack for now in the mod.freeform.php forcing the module to NOT send activation mail even if set to NO. Will get this to Mitchell.
A new thing that I would be interested is: Is it possible that Freeform checks the mailing list for duplicates before adding to it. I know it can check for duplicates in the freeform table but it seems it would be beneficial if it could check in the mailing list as well just as the original mailing list form does. Just curious.
Thanks Again
Elemental,
Thanks for filing the bug. We’ll have a look and try to resolve it.
And yes, Freeform checks to prevent duplicate sign-ups to mailinglists.

Well that might be another bug then, since now with the version 2.5.1 it signs in duplicate emails to the mailing list. :(
Same problem here, the opt-in does not respond AND it tries to make duplicate emails.
What I’d rather have would be the ability to join the mailing list as a checkbox, and then use the opt-in to skip verification (or not depending on your preferences of course). But that might be an offside subject here.
Same problem here, it does sign up duplicate emails. I have left a note in the Solspace forums but apparently Mitchell has been on hols :coolsmile:

This is exactly what I’m trying to do too. Does anyone have a code example or know if it’s possible? At the moment I have two forms on a contact page, one for enquiries and one for the mailing list sign up
