With great sadness we have to announce that we are ceasing development of all our VirtueMart, WooCommerce and Joomla plugins. Effective immediately, all our plugins -- even those that were paid downloads -- are made available for free from our homepage (GPL license still applies), but we cannot and will not provide any support anymore.
It has been a great pleasure to be part of the thriving development communities of VirtueMart as well as WooCommerce. However, during the last year it became painstakingly clear that in addition to a full-time job, a young family and several other time-consuming hobbies at professional level (like being a professional singer) the plugin development and the support that it requires is not sustainable and is taking its toll. It has been an honor, but it is now time to say good bye!

VM Subscribe Buyers to AcyMailing, Version 1.4.3 Filename: plg_vmcustom_acymailing_subscribe_buyer_v1.4.3.zip MIME-Type: application/zip File size: 24211 Bytes |
With this VirtueMart plugin, all buyers of a product can be automatically added to an AcyMailing list upon purchase. Additionally (or alternatively), a "Subscribe" and "Unsubscribe" button can be shown on the product page to allow manual subscription and unsubscription of the product-specific mailinglist.
Typical use cases are:

The assignment of AcyMailing list to selected products is done via custom fields.

Now you can add this custom field to any product you like:
I am developing the plugin with PHP 5.3 and 5.4 on Joomla 2.5 with VirtueMart 2.0.
Other combinations might work, but I have not had any reports (neither success nor failure). If you are using the plugin on a different combination of versions, please let me know whether it works or not.
This plugin is licenced unter the GNU GPLv3. It is also free to download, and you automatically obtain all the rights and duties that the GPL gives you, without any payment. If you find the plugin useful, it would still be nice if you could donate a certain amount.
The source code of this plugin is managed using git and a GitHub repository: https://github.com/open-tools/vm_acy_subscribe_buyer
To contribute to the project, feel free to send me patches or pull requests for this GitHub repository.
