Customer Mailing List

[four-point]

Jamie,

Would it be possible to add the ability from the Admin screens to send the information in the customers table to a flat file or email it in text to the admin's email address? I have a customer that is requesting this, I know the same could be accomplished by using phpMyAdmin but I don't think my customer would want to use that tool.

Yeah, this wouldn't be very difficult. Did you have any particular format in mind? Just names, or names and email addresses?

I was thinking, Name, Address1, address2, city, state, zip, email, phone.

OK...here is a thought. I need to have a way to export contents of any table to a CSV file. So what if we make a function that will allow you to export to CSV the contents of the table you are viewing, and have it allow you to check off what fields you want. There could also be a radio select below the field names that basically is a choice:
email to me (me would be replaced by the email address of the logged in user)
OR
save as file

This would be good long term. Let me know what you think.

If you need something sooner, I could make up a PHP file that will send an email to the store owner when they visit the page and click a submit button. That would not be that difficult to do, but I would not want to include it in that manner in future versions.

Jamie,

I will probably need to address this within the next month, do you think you would have it implemented by then?

Thanks,

Mark

Maybe, maybe not! I think I would be better off making a temp solution for you for now. I'll let you know when I have something.

[Jamie]

BTW - do you want Country also?

[Jamie]

Just sent you a file to try out.

Thanks Jamie,

That worked perfect!!

No problem! I'm going to leave this post as if it is not completed, as I think I want to implement this in the manner I described long term.
