Configuring external subscriber sources
An external subscriber sources provides (additional) subscriber to a newsletter instance.
You configure an external subscriber source as Zope 3 utility providing ISubscriberSource (here an example where subscriptions are managed external through MongoDB):
class NewsletterSource(object):
implements(ISubscriberSource)
def getSubscribers(self, newsletter):
""" return all subscribers for the given newsletter
from the MyInfo user database. Newsletter subscriptions
are referenced inside MyInfo through UIDs.
"""
uid = newsletter.UID()
# find MyInfo subscribers
myinfo = getUtility(IMyInfo)
subscribers = list()
for user in myinfo.accounts.find({'data.newsletters' : uid, 'state' : 'active'}):
subscribers.append(dict(email=user['email'],
fullname=user['username']))
return subscribers
The utility must be registered using ZCML:
<utility zcml:condition="installed Products.EasyNewsletter"
name="MyInfo subscribers"
factory=".newsletter.NewsletterSource" />
Inside the Edit view of the instance under the External tab you should find MyInfo subscribers under the option External subscriber source.
Allowed placeholders
The following placeholder can be used in the header, body and footer of issues:
[[SUBSCRIBER_SALUTATION]]
[[UNSUBSCRIBE]]
