MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

[Ooba_Scott]

woops, meant signup form not contact form :)

Hi, the support thread for this module seems to be kinda dead .... so appologies for starting a new thread.

I have downloaded the mailchimp integration module and installed it fine.

It works with passing the email address through the sidebox and the sign up form ...... but im also wanting to pass the first and last name to mailchimp aswel.

The documentation doesnt really help when wanting to do this, it just says 'you will need to mod the files'

...... i have tried changing the files but havnt had any luck in getting it to work.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

In hope and many Thanks
Scott

Support for this module is not dead; I just can't take the time to show you how to write code on the forum. It's time consuming enough just to support basic use of mods.

[Ooba_Scott]

I understand that its time consuming but im not the only person who has been stumped by this.

Just a little indication of which files need to be changed would have sufficed

Hi I have installed the mod fine but I'm also getting the famous MailChimp page not found when trying to enter an email address at the sidebox. I know all my API Key, ID and U are accurate - the important bit of my mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php page looks thus:

// Newsletter ID - IMPORTANT! You must use your own id, userid and api key
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_ID','43c0***302');
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_U','9b3b1ee2c2***b97694efa20');
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_API_KEY','a5dcc3883c***52ec5b61efa2a4a4d43-us2');

I cannot for the life of me understand what's wrong can someone please help.

I'm going to do an install this weekend and review all the instructions. Please be patient.

Pablo,

It may be an issue that another poster referred to earlier in the thread ....

Take a look at post #78 on page 8 ...... this was one of the issues that i came up against ....


Hope it helps :)

The newer accounts follow this format:

$content .= '<form action="http://*listname*.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe

Go to the list/form code to see what you need.

Version 2.1 is now available in the download section. Please read the instructions carefully as new steps have been added.

We're using this add-on with two languages - English and Spanish. It works on the English side, but no email is sent when you join in the Spanish language. Any tips?

[swguy]

Did you replicate all language specific files in spanish too?
