I am not sure if I should just shut up until Beta three or final, or post this now... I figure I will post now, and possibly have some bit of influence on future upgrades... and also maybe fix my current install!
OK, here is the situation! I have LinksSQL and Forum installed. Links is my base site, and forum is kind of an add-on to the original site. I have- against the advice on this forum!- added Comm to the website, so it is active.
I do like to send the occasional mailer, which I do through Links. It just hit me that GTComm does not have a "Subscribe/Unscubscribe" in the base install. OK, I know HOW to add this as a new field to the Edit Profile GTComm, but from there, I am not sure what to do...
1) Should I add a Subscribe to com_users, or just deal with this in Links?
2) If I deal with it in Links, how do I get GTComm to link to the Links DB and update this field as needed? (I know you can link fields from GTCOMM to Links at install, but I do not know how to add these sorts of "update" links after the fact of install.)
I currently have the GTComm Edit User, and a seperate Edit User setup iin Links (That includes some setup for Pauls MyLinks, as well as the Recieve E-mailer Yes/No field). I do not like the idea of two sperate and different User Edit places. How can I move all the MyLinks into the GTComm, or should I leave those to Links?
Thanks!
