Subscribe to Our Newsletter.

[IDW]

Is there any way to make the Subscribe to newsletter box on the create account page start off being checked?
Then the customer would have to uncheck it if they wanted to. I think people are missing it.

As I recall there is some rule or standard on this where you are not supposed to pre-check this and leave it fully up to the customer to select it....

If I am mistaken maybe another can enlighten on this policy/rule or what ever it is

Without getting into the debate of if its right or wrong,

you can look at the following line to get a clue how to edit your code that uses checkboxes:

'field' => zen_draw_checkbox_field('opt_insurance', '1', $selected, 'checked="checked"'))));


This line is from another module I modified to have a box checked by default for some other function. Adapt it to your needs.

The simple way of doing it would be in the admin.

Configuration -> customer details

Then find "Show Newsletter Checkbox" Set it to 2 if you want everyone to sign up for your newsletter by Default.

As far as it being wrong or illegal. Customer can also select it before the finish the sign up. It's really simple to unsubscribe too. Personally I don't see anything wrong with it... but thats me.

Nice info.. Came looking for this fully expecting to have to edit some code and it ended up being a simple check box..

Bump for good info.
