Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

Just a quickie,

tried to enter a test email with 24 characters and the entry box stopped after 23!

Do I edit this in admin config or in the code?


Pete,

Sleep well.

it's in the sidebox template file.

sideboxes/tpl_subscribe.php

change or take out the 'maxlength'

Magic,

Thanks,

Pete

And hopefully finally before I rest my overstretched brain ....

Has anyone managed to move the Newsletter unsubscribe link from the Information sidebox to the Newsletter sidebox .. seems a more logical place to have it?

Had a quick shufty at the files but didn't really know where to start without the risk of messing up completely.


Pete

Am I missing something here?

I have this installed on a test site and it shows perfectly fine in the sidebox, however it doesnt matter where I put the code in the tpl_header.php it will not show up, currently testing with 1.3.5 and using the newest upgrade for this contrubition. Below is the code I currently have.

Code:

Website being tested on Testing
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Also tried the code according to the example file attached is the file if you prefer to see it raw.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have gotten the newsletter subscribe button to show after some work, but now wondering why it appears like this:

www.successbooksetc.com

Can someone give me an idea of where to change this look?

With your other issue, it looks like you didn't rename the 'YOUR_TEMPLATE' folders.

In the contribution are a series of folders called 'YOUR_TEMPLATE'. You needed to rename all of those to match your template name. e.g. if you were using the 'classic' template you'd rename them all to 'classic' or if you were using 'pink_elephants' template, you'd name them all that.

@Pete- the sidebox with subscribe/unsubscribe is coming in the next release which I need to just buckle down and get done tonight.

@knuckle-101-
For the header subscribe to work you need 3 things:
1) the code in the header template file (which you've done)
2) turn newsonly subscriptions on (and if you see the normal sidebox you've done that)
3) turn the header subscription box on.
It should be under admin->Configuration->Layout Settings (near bottom)
Show subscribe link in header?

This should be in the readme.txt file that came with the contribution (under Usage Instructions), but I'll try to make it more clear in the next release.
