Exporting Users Email Addresses

  • Exporting Users Email Addresses

    Posted 16 years 4 months ago
    • Is there a way or a extension I can install that I can export users registered email addresses ?. My client wants to import them into his mail client and is having to do it manually at the moment from the emails the site sends out every time someone registers. I just want the site to spit out a list of email addresses of registered users every week. I know you can email directly from the site but he wants to use his own mail client...... :cry:

    • What kind of hosting platform do you have? Got access to phpMyAdmin?

      I know this is supposed to be a Joomla-related forum - but there are other tools, and they're often better for a particular job than a Joomla component. phpMyAdmin would allow you to export ANY data from the database in a CSV format which can then be used any way you like.

      Then again, maybe I'm just an old bastard who's not 'hip' to the latest stuff the kids are into :roll:

    • LOL - know the feeling.

      I'm not sure you'd even need sed tools - cron a shell script to dump the results of an SQL query (yes, using sed I suppose) into a file and mail it to him weekly and you'd not have to worry about it at all then. You could even get tricky and attach the file to the outgoing mail so it's nice and easy for him to open with Excel or whatever it is he's using.
