Joomla Newsletter component - joomla

Is there a joomla newsletter component to create and send letters to some joomla group members (group should be selectable)? Please keep in mind that users do not signed up for newsletter subscription. Instead, they agree our general terms which includes terms about letters on signup. If we use any traditional newsletter component we face the problem that there are no records of subscribers in the component.

You can check this one.

As mentioned here, you can send letters to different joomla groups.
The other option is to import list of users if you already have a newsletter component. But that requires some coding skills.

There are a few ways to do this in AcyMailing Enterprise version.

Add BCC to Magento sendNewAccountEmail()

I've usually been able to find the Magento answers I need either here or at the Magento forums, but I've tried all the solutions I've found thus far, to no avail.
We have a preliminary screening form for company customers. Only when they've been approved by Sales will we create a Magento storefront account for them. I've rewritten the account creation pages and have that working fine, including sending the new customer their New Account Email. I simply can't get the system to send us a BCC for our records to confirm that registration.
The information in the following post seems outdated, at least I can't find the quoted lines of code in /app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Model/Customer.php or in a search of the app folder:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/25535/
I've also tested solutions in /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Email but no luck. Can anybody direct me towards a current solution for Magento Community 1.7 to add a BCC to a New Account email?
Thank you.
In Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::_sendEmailTemplate() check this lines:
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($this->getEmail(), $this->getName());
Mage_Core_Model_Email_Info has a method addBcc, too.

Is it possible to replace the 'Add to cart' with 'ask for an estimate' button in Magento?

I'm trying to build an ecommerce website based on Magento but having a regular shop behaviour, instead of showing product prices, i want visitors to ask for an estimate for a single or several products (by adding them to a cart and then asking for a global estimate).
As a store manager, I should get these estimate requests by email along with customer information (name, email, phone, company, address .. )
Is this achievable with Magento?
If not, which cms/platform would be best suitable for such a project?
Not without some customization. You could put all your products in with a price of $0 and then change your theme so all the buttons say "request a quote" and the price isn't displayed anywhere. Then the checkout page might not ask for credit card info, but I'm not certain about that. If it did you would have to remove that part of the checkout module. Once a user finished checking out you would get an email with all their information. I don't think this is the best way to go about getting what you want though.
I don't know if other ecommerce platforms have what you are looking for. I'm not very familiar with them beyond Magento. But you could certainly use something like drupal or wordpress to build a site and have a request a quote form on it. This would only be managable with a small number of products though.
there is many extension available for this type features.link 1

Thank you guys,
This extension : link does precisely what i was looking for.

Seminar listing for Joomla 2.5

I have searched the entire Joomla Extension Directory .But could not find a component which meets my requirments.
I need a joomla component for seminar listing.
To post seminars and Training. Visitor to the site should be able to post training and seminars(But publish after admin approval) .
I can buy commercial components also.
Thank you
You could use a directory component like Mosets Tree. It allows visitors to post listings subject to admin approval and comes with all the usual category features, modules, etc. Each listing will have it's own dedicated page with info, email, gallery, etc, all of which are togglable.

I think Sobi Pro offers similar functionality

How to build a Bridge and sync magento and zoho both ways

We want to build a bridge to synchronize data both ways in magento 1.6 and zoho crm -to synchronize leads, quotes, invoices, clients (assign them a user id and password for our B2B website) -to synchronize products attributes, etc...
Examples :
Each time a client fills up a form to be registered on my website it has to create a lead on magento like the first time login form ( i already made one web to lead form, but doesn't fit well with magento design and doesn't create the account in magento...)
Each time a client asks for a quote (through a form "Request a quote") on magento, it creates an opportunity, or a quote (or a lead ?).
I would like something really simple that adapts to magento structure that's all, in fact, it's a question of pushing/pulling DB records in both softwares (magento and zoho).
So I've been looking all around the web, but if you google "Zoho Magento integration" it will only return people ready to pay for that. Since I know magento a bit, I'm willing to do it by myself.
Thanks for Your help !
You will have to create a magento connector module to handle synchronization between Magento and ZOHO CRM API ( http://zohocrmapi.wiki.zoho.com/ ).
It is not easy. But if you have some experience with Magento development and do not know how to start with it, i would suggest you to download some similiar module (e. g. http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/integrations/crm/erply-connector.html) and see how it is built. Then try to develop your own.

How to Create a Custom Registration form and Approval Process in Magento?

We are setting up a new Magento site and will allow clothing designers the ability to sell their products in our store. We've already created a separate user group with appropriate permissions for Designers. However, we need to create a custom registration form for use by them, and an accompanying approval workflow. Can someone provide links to guidelines in creating such a custom form and workflow? Is it advisable to create a separate store for each designer, or create user defined attributes to assign a designer to their products in the main store catalog? Also, given that we will have a separate and changing commission percentage for each designer, what custom module logic must be used to apply these commissions correctly? Specifically, what Magento objects must be leveraged to produce such a commission process?
Thanks much for your help and guidance.
