Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

I attempted to search for my answer... nothing coming up ;-<

I installed the newsletter subscribe on a sidebox... I just had a gal whose email address was too long for the box!

Any idea how to make this entry accept a longer email address? I've look thru admin.. not seeing anything ~ I can alter a file if i need too.. just need to know which one and where to find it!

Thanks!!

I'm having the same issue as ya'll. (the crazy date and not large enough entry box) Has this been resolved and not posted?

Fixed the date issue.

I went into the subscribers table of the database, changed the type of subscribed_date to date/time, null should be yes default blank.

That fixed the issue for future records. If you're as picky as I am you can go to the previous records and edit that date manually.

I installed, and take a look at my right sidebox: http://www.lightswitchclothing.com/catalog

Also, if you just click where the button SHOULD BE, i get these errors:

Warning: main(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_subscribe_header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lightswi/public_html/catalog/includes/modules/lavender/subscribe_header.php on line 20

Does anyone know whats going on here? Seems to have an issue with the subscribe_header file line 20 which is this:

PHP Code:

---

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_subscribe_header',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_subscribe_header.php');

thanks.

Hi all.. just found this post after have fixed the problem... it's a simple typo in line 20...

PHP Code:

---

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_subscribe_header',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_subscribe_header.php'); 


---

the problem is the extention is missing from the first instance of the file name 'tpl_subscribe_header' and should read 'tpl_subscribe_header.php' a with the second instance.

hope it helps.

BTW: the reason it works out of the box for some and not others is that if a file is not found (as there is no .ext then the file is not found ;) ) then the file is sought in the default_templates directory and if not found there either it throws an error.

OK now for my Q :)

I have installed the mod and find that the Newsletter title is a link with [more] to the right. not so bad BUT the link goes to the REVIEWS page?????
does anyone else get this too?

I am now 3hours into working this out and have NO idea :(

please help a tired man.

for those whom wish to see ... www.HealthMantra.co.uk (don't buy anything it's only my sandbox for now :) )

Well, I've read through a few of these posts and see that this mod works with Zen Cart v1.3.7. I've included lines from this mod in my index.php (i think index file)
because it was already moded. I've put all the other files in and the sidebox file shows up in my Sidebox Layout menu. However, I have activated it and set it to the left column. The subscription box does not show up.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so how did you fix it. Thanks :-)

This is a great mod, except that I am running into some problems:

In the confirmation letter sent out to newsletter subscribers, the text listed under

EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_TEXT

is not displayed anywhere. There is no link for the subscriber to click on to confirm.

I have been poking around the files to look for an answer.

If somebody would care to enlighten me, it will be much appreciated.
