Adding to ACY mailing list

I noticed that when someone registered and went to pay with paypal, they got added to the mailing list before the payment is complete. (One person went through the process but did not complete payment, but yet they got added to the mailing list.)
When does this function happen? Could it be set to only happen on completion of payment? Especially for offline payments. I don't want to send out emails to registrants on that list unless they've successfully paid.

You can edit the code to get it works like that:

1. Open the file plugins/eventbooking/acymailing/acymailing.php

2. Find this line of code:

3. Change it to:

After that, it should work as expected

Thanks! Will this be a permanent change, or is it one I'll have to make every time I upgrade?

It would be a code change that you would have to maintain every time you upgrade. Unfortunately, it's not a file in a */template/ folder, otherwise you could create a template override that would be kept during upgrades.

After applying the changes, save a copy of your changed version (eg. plugins/eventbooking/acymailing/acymailing.modified.php ). When you upgrade EB, manually overwrite acymailing.php with acymailing.modified.php (I don't think the Devs change the coding of the acymailing plugin very often, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about breaking new features by overwriting with old code.) Just remember to do this every time you upgrade EB!!

Yes, I already have changes I make each time I upgrade, I am familiar with the process, thanks... I am hoping it would be a permanent change as I would think folks would only want to add someone to a mailing list if they have successfully paid for their event.

It certainly makes sense to me that you should only be added after being fully registered. Maybe the Devs would consider committing the change to the core release either as the new default or as an optional toggle?

OK. Will add it to core download package. It will be default behavior from version 2.3.1

Hmm. How about registrants choose offline payment for the registration ? We will only add him to mailing lists when the registration approved, too ?

Tuan

Yes, absolutely. Also, that should be when the invoice is created as I have the QRCODE in the invoice for admittance to the event.
