Is there any movement on this? I would like to use the newsletter feature but have over 600 subscribers which i don't have the time to submit manually
Thanks

Hi, unfortunately, I still didn't find time to take a look at it :-(

I have 500 I need to add. I too would like to see this as a option.
Thanks!

Hi Jan,
Phocanews looks like a perfect fit for an organisation I volunteer for, although I have the same "import" issue as others.
I'm happy to code a solution for this and submit a PR.
Looking at the code I see it's a previous Joomla style. My next thought was to update it to J5 style but, although that's probably not hard, I can see it might be getting a bit intrusive.
Would you be interested in a PR for updating to J5 or would that be too rude?
(I tried to send this to you privately via the "contact" page of the website, but it complained that the text [above] "did not pass the check by an external anti-spam service")

Hi, I have no problem if someone comes up with a new PR. I don't even have a problem with a J5 style rewrite (we are gradually converting the parts that work properly in J5, those that are buggy in Joomla we leave in the older style). The only rule is that the whole thing works and that backwards compatibility is not broken.

We have a similar example from history, when the Phoca Guestbook component was rewritten from native categories to Joomla categories, which brought only problems and bugs and to this day the whole community suffers from it, because there are big problems for example during migrations and updates, etc.

You can contact me per mail too, just write me simple info to contact form so I can reply to you.

Thank you, jan

I'm not a developer, so I don't have the skills to do anything. It would just be good to know that someone is working on an improvement.
All the sites I work on are J5, so having extensions that work properly on J5 are important. As it is now, hte J5 beta 90 version has some bugs. While theyt do not all affect my sites, it would be good if someone was working on it to make it better. As it is Phoca Cart is really too much for my needs, but others I have tested don't have the simplicity I need.

Hi, the extension is Joomla 5 native extension, it uses standard Joomla 5 methods which are used by core. It does not need backward compatibility plugin.

If you get 500, this mostly means a PHP error, enable debug mode in Joomla and PHP error reporting on your server ( https://www.phoca.cz/documentation/86-joomla/16-joomla/336-how-to-enable-displaying-php-errors-on-site ) to display the PHP error and post details here: https://www.phoca.cz/forum/ so we can take a look at it.

Thank you, Jan
