Newsletter Subscriber Discount

**swguy** · 7 May 2011, 12:57 PM

Hmm... I very cleverly didn't release version 2.0 of MailChimp Newsletter Discount after writing it last August. This version has the new API which requires a key, and the setting in admin, and it has the API Key field in admin.

Let me double check this and I'll release this new code shortly.

Weird. OK, the new version has been released.

Please note that you want to use the API in the contribution, not something you have downloaded which might be more recent and incompatible.
The instructions in the Newsletter Discount version 2.0 download match what's on my website.

Thanks Scott, sorry for the trouble but I seem to be good at that LOL

Uninstalled and removed old version, uploaded and replaced with the new version (used the contributions API), re-installed, Yes there is an API Key field Sweet. Tested with MailChimp subscriber account (shows discount)and without MailChimp subscriber account (does not show discount) and works perfectly!

Thanks again Scott and sorry to be a bother!

LOL not a bother at all - I'm glad the new software is now available.

How does newsletter discount prevent other discounts from being used?

**swguy** · 27 Jul 2011, 05:11 AM

It doesn't. Discounts don't know about each other unless custom logic has been added to prevent them being used together on a case by case basis.

Can you write some for it?

Those crazy chimps are up to their usual tricks. Please do NOT update to MailChimp API 1.3 on your own; Newsletter Discount AND MailChimp Integration will need updates first. When you do update, both modules need to be updated at the same time; API 1.3 contains breaking changes (wrt existing code).
