Many people want to keep track of the number of active subscribers to their newsletters and on D6 that was easy, by going to the page that lists the existing newsletters.

On D7 the corresponding page (admin/config/services/simplenews) does not have this information and I do not see it anywhere else. Please give us back this useful feature!

+1 here. I was surprised to find that this was not available. I assume you could make a custom view to count all the rows of subscribers for each newsletter, but it would be much better to have this included on the page admin/config/services/simplenews.

Thanks

This was simple enough I went ahead and did it. Please review and mark RTBC if it works for you.

Good quick fix there @deggertsen. I have just tested the patch and it works perfectly fine. But I would still submit a new one only to set the whitespaces in order on 2 occassions in your patch. I am really sorry for acting like a 'best practices nazi', but I am right now in a sprint re-learning how to review patches :-)

Will read some more about reviewing and submitting patches and submit your code with whitespace issues fixed.

Here is the patch re-rolled after correcting the whitespace styles.

My hunch is that a good deal of the Simplenews reporting that one wants can be accomplished using a combination of:

  • The Views plugins which ship with Simplenews:
    1. Simplenews mailspool
    2. Simplenews subscriber
    3. Simplenews subscription

    plus one of the following.

  • Views Calc
  • Views Summarize

Their promise is being able to assemble the reporting infrastructure that is right for your site.

There may or may not be value in also using Simplenews Statistics, given the apparently immature state of its D7 version.

Wow, I just made my first patch, and it worked. I tried with views to get this statistics, but this patch made the job easy and right. Thanks a lot. Another step in my drupalizing. And i found 12300 members....

This seems useful, I was recently wondering myself why that doesn't exist.

Committed, this should be ported to 7.x-2.x and 8.x-1.x as well.
