Newsletters - for members and non members - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
hi, i'm looking @ transferring limited static site joomla , there's few things i'm still trying head around. maintaining distribution list email newsletters being 1 example. organisation membership based (a trade union) interested in communicating non-member supporters , potential members. having such people sign on site fine, when comes our members head starts spinning little.
i'm concerned creating duplicate database on site of our offline membership database, , trying keep 2 in sync. best solution can come load names , email addresses of members site's database , ensure our administration people advise me of every amendment make offline database (new members, resigned members, new email addresses etc) can update site's database. i'd think there's way tag people members or non-members , avoid duplicate records (i.e. members sign via site).
i'm not sure if i'm being clear, thought in forum might have had similar issues , have thoughts on it.
cheers,
jason
