Subscriber administration, search and sort

They're all good questions. I'm planning to implement some of them, others have a reason. I don't have time right now to go into details. Right now, I'm quickly answering some issues in the list, just to let you know that I'm still alive :-)

I'm working very hard to get my PhD thesis finished in time. I expect to be able to start coding again in April, but there'll be a lot to catch up with so it may take some time to address everything...

Until then, I'll only fix critical bugs, and make sure that simplenews HEAD keeps up with Drupal HEAD (a simplenews 4.7 branch will be created right after the release of Drupal 4.7).

thanks! I'm on holiday now, I'll take a closer look next week.

Hi, I try this patch on latest module version and it's working fine. I'm also tring to merge this patch with my one (about anonym user-name while subscripting) for searching also usernames.

hello

it would be great to make the subscriber list more operational:

a) sort for username, e-mail-adress etc.
b) checkboxes to apply possible changes to more then one subscriber (delete, inactivate etc.)
c) search

thanks and greetings

I had 100 or so emails to remove from a list. Thought it was worth while porting this patch over to the 5.0 code.

It works for me, but could use more review. Would really hope that it could get merged into the code though as there really needs to be a better way to remove emails from this program. This works well!

Some days are longer than others.....

Here's a new patch done against the CVS (and should be going the right direction even).

Things might be better than they seem. Agree the maintenance of the module has been low for sometime, but things are moving again for a month or two.
Currently I am working to improve the subscription maintenance to aid the maintenance of large amounts of subscribers. I want to include the functionality of this patch.

I have included the email search functionality in this change of the subscription admin. The intent is to make it easier to maintain large subscription lists. It is also the solution for issues 82050 and 67551.

The code for subscription admin is completely changed and now based on the Administer Content page. It allows for operations on multiple subscriptions by using a check box for each subscriber.
* Operations: acivate, deactivate, delete
* Filter options: subscribed to, email address

A new file simplenews.css is included and required for layout of the subscription filters.

In applying your patch this one didn't stick. There's also an error elsewhere in the code as the form is producing this error -
[Thu Apr 19 19:23:33 2007] [error] [client 69.156.51.73] PHP Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in /home/dm_50/includes/form.inc on line 319

The patch was made against the HEAD at that time. Here is a new patch against the current HEAD 1.57 version.

Table sorting added to further improve the handling of large amounts of subscribers.

Works fine for me!

Patch committed to HEAD and 5.x-1.x-dev.

I have never used a patch before - and I need a patch for simplenews admin - in order to edit my subscriptions more easily. I have located "subscription-management_2.patch", but have no way of knowing if it will work with my site (drupal 4.7) and absolutely no idea how to go about installing it if it will work. Could anyone help me out please?

Just when I think I am getting the hang of something...

@ beginner: is this problem persistent?
@thollowood: Please do not re-use an issue just because it is related. Please open a new issue if you need support. You find information on patches in: http://drupal.org/patch

I am sure that it works. It is in the module almost a year now and had no (other) issues with it. It is also present in D6.
I close the issue, but feel free to create an issue of you (still) have problems with this functionality.
