Hey,

I'm wondering if it's possible to subscribe all current site users to a newsletter? My site has over 500 users and i've recently enabled this module.

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to implement this using Views, VBO and Rules.

Create a view that lists your users (with filters, if you want), create a rules component that receives a user as argument and then subscribe the mail address of that user using the provided action (make sure you've enabled the simplenews rules module).

Then enable bulk operations on the view with that rules component.

Thank you Berdir for you help!

I think for now I'll just go through every user and manually subscribe them to the newsletter...so far there's not many users but I'll remember this tip thank you :)

Easier said than done. I am lost on how to do the above. I got as far as creating a view with all users sorted by date. Then, I have no idea how to create a rule component that receives a user as an argument followed by subscribing the mail address of that user (What action provided? I don't see any action provided). A tutorial will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Have you enabled the simplenews_rules module?
