Backend Cleanup. Allow Archive of old subscriptions. Customize views

Dear Tuan,

We get close to 700 subscriptions every 4 months. As you can tell, from a scalability prospective, it can be problematic long term. I am proposing the following:

1) Ability to "ARCHIVE" subscriptions, similar to how archive works in articles. It would mean that all the expired/cancelled/refunded subscriptions more than X months old could be archived so it does not clutter the subscription view.

2) Perhaps we could also create a new DB table osmembership_subscribers_archived separate from osmembership_subscribers for performance reasons that can keep historical data for years without affecting the current subscriptions?

I wonder if others would be interested in a solution like that...

Hi Ahmad

1. Might be something which we implement in the future

2. Something I won't look at it for now because it could cause unexpected behavior. We can have much more records than that, so no need to move it to a separate table for now

(There are customers use the extension with more than 30K subscription records and counting, it is working well, so no need for worry about this for now)

Regards,

Tuan

Bumping this up.

I wonder if others would be interested in overhauling the backend of Membership Pro...

1. De-clutter some of the configuration options.
2. Ability to archive expired subscriptions
3. Pick the columns to display in the SUBSCRIPTIONS / SUBSCRIBERS / REPORTS sections
4. Decouple Last Name and Email so they are separate columns
5. Use AJAX to load data rather than reload of the page (if possible)

I feel like this is such a great plugin with so much potential.

I want to thank Tuan and his team for working on this

Hi Ahmad

Happy to work on #2, #3 and #4. For #1, could you please explain more details about it?

For #5, something which I'm not ready to work on it right now

Tuan

Dear Tuan,

You can ignore 1). All I meant was to rethink the configuration and subscription tabs since we have many many options within, but its completely workable. Thankyou for taking a look at 2) 3) and 4)

OK, Thanks. For #1, if you have any ideas to improve configuration page to make it easier to understand/follow, please suggest it to me . Happy to look at suggestions and get it improved.

Regards,

Tuan

Bumping this up to keep this on your radar dear Tuan.

bump - hope we can revamp the backend

Hey Tuan,

With Joomla 5.0.1 now available, it would be great if we can revisit this request. It would be great if we can work on the backend a bit for the heavy users
