Custom Unsubscribe form widget

Posted by Community Admin on 15-Dec-2011 00:00

When a user Unsubscribes, we want them to be removed from ALL mailing lists. To do this, do I need to create a custom unsubscribe form widget?

Hi Laura,

Yes, the Unsubscribe Form control works with just one mailing list. To be able to unsubscribe from all mailing lists you may inherit it. Your new control should be something like this:

public class CustomUnsubscribe : UnsubscribeForm

protected override void InitializeControls(Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.GenericContainer container)

base.InitializeControls(container);

this.UnsubscribeButton.Click -= this.UnsubscribeButton_Click;

this.UnsubscribeButton.Click += this.UnsubscribeButtonCustom_Click;

protected void UnsubscribeButtonCustom_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

this.RemoveSubscriber();

private void RemoveSubscriber()

var newslettersManager = NewslettersManager.GetManager(this.ProviderName);

var email = this.EmailAddress.Text.ToLower();

var subscriber = newslettersManager.GetSubscribers().Where(s => s.Email == email).SingleOrDefault();

if (subscriber != null)

var mailLists = newslettersManager.GetMailingLists().Where(m => m.Subscribers.Contains(subscriber));

foreach (var mailList in mailLists)

newslettersManager.Unsubscribe(subscriber, mailList.Id);

newslettersManager.SaveChanges();

Best wishes,
