dereuromark / cakephp-mailchimp Goto Github PK

v1.3 is deprecated, v2.0 is the current one.

what would be the advantages, what the disadvantages?

See https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-mailchimp/tree/dev for work in progress

Anyone up for the job?

I think for Cake3 it would be cool if

• A more datasource type approach could be found so that you can also hook in validation etc.
• More tests, obviously

Returning false in MailchimpAppModel::call() is problematic: the campaignCreate function returns an array with [..., 'status' => 'save', ...] when successful for example. So it succeeds, but because it has a status key, it still returns false although you then need the campaign id to send it. Maybe it should return $this->response anyway all the time as a last resort? I don't know enough how other functions normally react to decide on the best course of action.

In the MandrillTransport class its impossible to send a template that is stored on Mandrill without having a local template available. Which defeats the purpose of the Mandrill templates. The code on line 127 and line 85 also prevent you from passing template_content vars to Mandrill.

I'm not sure if this is by design or I'm totally confused on the usage of it.
