Problem/Motivation

Same #3300814 → issues as for 3.x release, but for 4.x release. Creating and managing mailing lists, subscribers and announcements is currently confusing, e.g., specific mailing lists and mailing list members are managed as "Newsletters" or "Simplenews", while individual announcements are managed as "Newsletter issues".

Proposed resolution

Revise naming to provide a more user-friendly and consistent naming structure:

  • Rename "Newsletters" to "Mailing Lists"
  • Rename "Newsletter issues" to "Announcements".

Remaining tasks

Update module to follow a consistent naming, i.e., use of "Mailing Lists", and "Announcements" terms in module forms, help texts descriptions, URL paths, views, etc.

User interface changes

Menu item revisions

  • "Administer > Configuration > Web Services > Newsletters" to "Administer > Configuration > Web Services > Mailing Lists"
  • "Administer > Configuration > Web Services > Newsletters > ..." to "Administer > Configuration > Web Services > Mailing Lists > ..."
  • "Administer > Structure > Views > Newsletter issues" to "Administer > Structure > Views > Announcements"

UI elements (titles, labels, menu items, descriptions, etc.) in Forms, Views and etc.

  • Rename "Newsletters" to "Mailing Lists"
  • Rename "Newsletter issues" to "Announcements".

URL path revisions

  • "/admin/content/simplenews{/...}" to "/admin/content/announcements{/...}"
  • "/admin/people/simplenews{/...}" to "/admin/people/subscribers{/...}"
  • "/admin/config/services/simplenews{/...}" to "/admin/config/services/mailing-lists{/...}"
  • "/newsletter{/...}" to "/mailing-list{/...}"
  • "/user/{user}/simplenews" to "/user/{user}/mailing-lists"
  • "/node/{node}/simplenews" to "/node/{node}/mailing-list"
