MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

[Thannaree]

Hi, I am trying to install this contribution but cannot find the URL, u and id info in the HTML code.

4. Press the Forms link for your new list.
Scroll down to the link that says "Signup Form" and click it. This will take you to a screen which will show you your signup form. Look at the HTML code. At the top of the form will be something that looks like this:

<form action="http://list-manage.com/subscribe/post" method="POST">

Note the URL.

At the bottom of the form will be something like this:

<td align="left"><INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='submit' VALUE='Subscribe'> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="5331068383">
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="0dcb1c9808"></td>

Note the the values of "u" and "id" - you will be embedding them in the language file during the installation process.

When I click the "Forms" link, that takes me to the Create Forms page where the "Signup Form" is the default selection, and not clickable. Am I looking at the wrong place?

You should see something like this:

Customize the Signup Form for: test

Your list's signup form is hosted on our server at: http://eepurl.com/kd_x
change the signup form's appearance

Then in the HTML below you'll see id and u.

Thanks SWGUY!

I was able to find the info by accessing Lists > Forms > For Your Website > Signup Form Embed Code

Under the Create Embed Code button, in the "copy/paste into your site" field.

I have installed the contribution and all seems to be working well. Thanks again SWGUY!
....
Just a little note FYI: If I position the Newsletter sidebox just below the Special sidebox, there's a [more] that appears just after Newsletter in the sidebox header and that "Newsletter [more]" becomes a link, which takes me to the special page when clicked.

If I position the Newsletter sidebox just above the Special sidebox, that fixes the issue. Strange!

[swguy]

I would guess this is a bug in your template change for the specials sidebox.

ahem, have problem with the sidebox working fine but the create account form does not. Nothing is getting to mail chimp: The mailchimp log file says Unable to load listSubscribe()!
Code=250
Msg=FNAME must be provided - Please enter a value

I could have sworn I did this correctly. What in the world did I screw up?

Hi Delia I have the same issue

I can solve that error

You are collecting the subscriber first and last names correct?

basically it is wanting the first name parameter, which you need to add in the

/includes/modules/your-template/create_account

so this (around line 339)

//--- added mailchimp
   if ((int)$newsletter == 1) { 
       mailchimp_add($email_address, $email_format);
  }
//--- End mailchimp

becomes

//--- added mailchimp
   if ((int)$newsletter == 1) { 
       mailchimp_add($email_address, $firstname, $lastname, $email_format);
  }
//--- End mailchimp

Unfortunately while this stops the error, it doesn't seem to add the user to mailchimp (or at least I am not receiving an email confirmation from mailchimp), I can't actually access mailchimp at the moment to check.

Can anyone tell me if this mod will still add the user to the ZC database and send the welcome email we have set up with the coupon we have set to be sent to new subscribers?

We use 1.3.9h

Thanks!

The Mailchimp Plugin doesn't do the adding to the Zen Cart database; it just adds the user to the list of email addresses in your mailchimp list (if the user requests your newsletter when he signs up).

Hi There... could use some help.
I don't seem to be passing any data to MailChimp, nor getting the MailChimp confirmation email when creating a new user.

The only thing I can think of is that I don't have includes/modules/[my template name]/create_account.php.... there is no folder for my template in the modules folder (I am using template_default).

I modified the create_account.php file that was in the modules folder, and even included the $firstname, $lastname as suggested above, but no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!
