Adding a custom field to Magento’s subscription module

by

If you want to add some custom fields for Magento newsletter subscriber (for example subscriber_name), you should do the following:

  • Add new column for newsletter_subscriber table
  • Add text input to newsletter template
  • Create observer for newsletter_subscriber_save_before event

In the observer you can get your custom field’s value from request and assign it to subscriber’s object:

public function newsletterSubscriberSave(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $subscriber = $observer->getEvent()->getSubscriber();
    $name = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('subscriber_name');

    $subscriber->setSubscriberName($name);

    return $this;
}
