Integration With Joomla

Hi, I was just looking into editing the MailWizz homepage and created the custom file as suggested. Then I wonderd if I could instead, add a redirect on the current index.php to a subfolder containing joomla 5 with the links from the current MailWizz home page?

Im not good at coding a php/html page so thought joomla would be a good option for me as I have experience building pages through joomla.

Of course, then I want to run some kind of membership using joomla but the first concern is the replacing the current MailWizz home page.

The only code in the current home paged is:

define('MW_APP_NAME', 'frontend');

// and start an instance of it.
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/apps/init.php');

So also wondered if that was necessary and whether it would become a problem if I did the Joomla thing?

As you can no doubt sumize, Im not a coder at all. Just trying to get a really great MailWizz home page.

Do not do that, that file is needed to serve everything public facing people, like campaigns, tracking of clicks and opens, and so on.

You can either follow https://www.mailwizz.com/kb/customise-the-landing-page/ or you can disable the landing page altogether and have your joomla app handle the presentation, then have mailwizz at a subdomain like mailer.domain.com which is totally separate from your presentation site,
 
Thanks for the response. I actually went a head and did and it seemes to work fine. I actually cant believe I never thought of doing what you suggest. But I already had MW installied in the root. I know I can move joomla into the root. But what about MW, can it be moved easily enough?

Meaning, are there paths in the database or is it just in a config somewhere?
Also, where do you diable the landing page altogether?

Thanks.

Thanks, I actually just moved MW into a subfolder and regenerated the system_urls and it seems to be working okay

I can now move joomla into the pblic_html.

Thanks for the kick. Much appreciated.

I would appreciate any input as to whether what I did will cause any issues. It doesnt seem to have but I only just did it. Thanks again.
