Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
I have installed this mod, everything is OK, except when a user clicks or travels to the confirmation email link, it redirects back to my website and a blank page. There is no confirmation page, and no confirmation email. The admin interface shows the email address as confirmed, but no notice to the user.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Any chance we could get some more features into this mod?
Email throttling being a HUGE need for a lot of people.
Also, an archive page that can be viewed by subscribers so they can view previous mailings would be great!
:smile:

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
If you cut and paste your html newsletters content, you can set up your own archive using EZpages (either as EZpages or links to seperate html pages). I display my latest newsletter this way, but I code it as an external html page and paste it into the newsletter facility.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
no choice of html/text-only in my sidebox - what did I do wrong? people are subscribing ok, but only in text only format even though I have html set as default and there's no check box to change this in the sidebox.:frusty:

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
How do you remove the confirmation requirement? We would like to add users directly onto the newsletter subscription without a confirmation click required.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
HI thanks for the contribution. I just ran a new install and now running into problems..
1. "Is your email address correct? It should contain at least 6 characters. Please try again." warning is displayed on every page... can I get rid of it?
2. Unsubscribe page does not work. It won't remove the email and actually doesn't do anything just loads couple seconds but does not remove customer or redirect the page. I have a SEO mod could that be the reason?
3. I use checkout without account mod. It uses tpl_no_account page similar to create_account page. I'd need to add newsletter to that page as well. I'm quite comfortable with php and zen but somehow it didn't seem to work by just copying the template module files. Is there another ones I need to edit?
thanks

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Hi all,
I haven't used my newsletter system in a while and I haven't made any code or structural changes to my site (other than adding products/prices, etc.),
I went to go sent a newsletter today and got this message:
Please wait .. sending emails ..
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'g[name removed for privacy]######################'' at line 1
in:
[SELECT count(*) as count FROM zen_subscribers WHERE email_address = 'g[name removed for privacy]######################'g[name removed for privacy]######################']
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
I check the database for this username and didn't see any typos or errors.
Not sure where else to look or what to look for.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks Tracy

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
HI there! I'm new to the forum and just installed zencart on my server, i installed the newsletter module immediately afterwards since this is an important feature to me. however, I can't see any box on my storefront, I can see everything on my control panel, including subscribtion manager, however, I can's see a subscribtion box in my sidebox selection. Did I do anything wrong? I followed everystep, including changing tpl_header.php to make it show up in the header, and nothing happened, there's simply no box on my store front.
Thank you very much for you reply!!!

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Ok I managed to solve some seo mod problems by excluding subscribe_confirm from the seo page list.
Still HUGE problem is that all customers are subscribed as text only.. and html option does not seem to work at all..anyone else have had similar problem?

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Here's one for you. I know this cannot be too hard, I think I have it almost figured out, but not all the way.
I want to place the subscription box and radio buttons on my main page using define pages. How would I go about that? I figure there's probably a couple of ways to go about this...
thx

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
I am still unable to solve a couple problems with this module:
1) We cannot unsubscribe people. When we go to delete an email address, it does not work. It is still in the database. I am forced to go and delete them manually from my db.
2) When someone selects "TEXT" option, they are not getting confirmation emails for some reason.
Can anyone PLEASE help me out or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
I've just installed the latest version of this contribution and ran into the following error.
When clicking on the install button from the Customers | Subscription Management page (in my Zen Cart Admin) I receive the following error message.
Quote:
1364 Field 'query_keys_list' doesn't have a default value

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
Anyone else experienced this or know of a work around?

Hmmm... that looks like a bug. Attached is a zip file with an updated subscription_manager.php file. You need to unzip it then upload it to admin/includes/functions/extra_functions . Hopefully it should fix the problem. I haven't had a chance to test it but it should work.

Christian.

It sounds like you have not copied all the files for this contribution to your server - most probably one or two of the language files.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
I've been using this contribution for some time and have just noticed that (as far as I know) it's impossible to track these subscriptions using Google Anlaytics.
Normally, I would set up a goal to cater for this, but it's not possible with the current way this contribution works.
If you submit an invalid or blank email address (from the subscribe sidebox) you land on the same page (subscribe).
The message on this page (even if you have entered a blank or invalid email address) reads as follows:
Quote:
Thank you for taking a moment to subscribe to our Newsletter.
You'll receive notices of newly available products, special offers, and news of upcoming showings.
Surely it would make more sense to use two pages with the following content.
subscribe
Allows customers to enter their email address to sign up. Also displayed any messageStack errors (blank/invalid email address, etc) if required.
subscribe_success
Once successfully subscribed this page could be displayed to customers. This would allow for correct goal tracking with Google Analytics.
The above solution could also allow for both pages to be customised with the define pages editor, which means two unique messages can be displayed the the user.
I feel that all of the above would be very welcomed additions to this great contribution! :cool:

I may be missing something here, but I show two pages already.
tpl_subscribe_default.php I believe is the 'Subscribe' page, I don't use this one for I like the side box idea.
tpl_subscribe_confirm_default.php is the 'Subscribe Success' page which I do use and have modified. This page loads other defines such as define_subscribe.php. You should be able to attach the Google Anlaytics code there if need be.
If you placed the code in tpl_footer.php, it should already be covering the success page. I know mine is coverd by tpl_footer.php

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Just noticed a couple of spelling errors in one of the language files (admin side) and also a missing definition. Details can be found below.
admin/includes/languages/english/subscription_manager.php
Lines 30-31 should be changed to:
Code:
define('TEXT_INFO_HEADING_NEW_SUBSCRIPTION' , 'New Subscription');
define('TEXT_INFO_HEADING_EDIT_SUBSCRIPTION' , 'Edit Subscription');
Also, TEXT_IMPORT does not exist. So, the following code needs to be added at the end (before the closing ?>) of this file.
Code:
define('TEXT_IMPORT', 'Import');
Hope this helps! :smile:

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Hi everybody.
I am using Newsletter Subscribe v 2.1.0 with Zen Cart v1.3.8a.
Installation worked just fine, when following the readme file, point by point. It is a great add-on module, so :clap: and :hug: to the authors.
However, there is one issue I can not seem to understand.
Pre-info: The customer does receive his confirmation e-mail and so does the shop, so all that works fine. So, the problem is as follows:
After the customers enters his e-mail address and push "subscribe" the customer gets this error in the top of his screen: "ERROR: The email template file for (/home/username/public_html//email/no/email_template_) or (/home/username/public_html//email/no/email_template_subscribe.html) cannot be found.
The /no/ is from my language - Norwegian. I guess others will get /en/ .
The case here is that this folder does not exist, nor /no/ or /en/. The package does not contain these files anywhere either, so it is very strange. Is it caused by some other module I have installed?
However I find this text in the /includes/functions/functions_email.php and this file was replaced during the installation.
Of course I kept a backup, but I am not that familiar with php, and can not seem to find the issue. Please let me know if anybody needs the two files to compare.
Please advise my fellow Zencarters :smile:
thx.

Hi Eric.
"Newsletter only subscribers” = the ppl that just wants your newsletter. I.E. They gave you their e-mail address through the newsletter module and are not registered as customers.
“All Newsletter Subscribers” = This group includes both your customers who has signed up for your newsletters, and the ppl who registered through the newsletter module which are not registered as customers.
When a "newsletter only subscriber" makes an account on your site, he get automatically transferred to the other group.
Hope this helps you in understanding the difference in the two. I wish you a great day!

I can only see the individual email address of the actual customers, not the 'newsletter only subscribers', so the only way it seems I can send my 'newsletter only subscribers' a coupon is by sending them all one, but I do not wish to do this every time a new person subscribes or person number 1 is going to end up with 200 emails from me!

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
sometime back magneteye asked why he couldnt delete subscribers after using the search function. I've been waiting for an answer since then and no once else has even agreed that this is a problem. I've found the problem but don't know how to fix it.
When the page changes to the delete confirmation screen it, the subscriber id is still present in the url. Once it switches to the actual delete, the subscriber id is no longer present.
Case delete starts at line 457 in the latest version. Would someone please look and see if they can find out why this is happening?
I assume most folks aren't having the non delivserables sent back to do the deletes. On my cpanel 11 server I had to set up smtpauth as the mail method with a specific smtp address to have the bounces sent to the cart owner. If one isn't doing that then those bounces get sent into nether nether land unless you have a small server and all undelivered sent to the server owner like I do.
So this may not be a problem that lots of folks see BUT IT IS A BUG.
Please help!

Appeared to be related to SEO module.
After adding unsubscribe to the exclusion of SEO it works again.
Funny that subscribe does not seem to be affected

Page not found when the subscribe button is clicked

I had the same problem, although directly signing in from sidebox works ok for html, if they get to subscribe page it doesn't work.
This is because subscribe page loads tpl_subscribe_header
Go in that file and change both customer_email into email_format right after the zen_draw_radio_field so it reads:
zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true)

btw. don't know if this mod is still supported, but that seems like a bug in 2.10

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
I have loaded this mod on my new shop ( whic is the current version )server is php5 and when I go to send a newsletter I get
Code:
1054 Unknown column 'COWOA_account' in 'where clause'
in:
[select customers_email_address, customers_firstname, customers_lastname from zen_customers where COWOA_account != 1 order by customers_lastname, customers_firstname, customers_email_address ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
it works fine on my other server which is php4.3 shop 1.38a. I have searched the code and tried the debugging tool and nothing........:censored:

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Are you sure you want to post this in the newsletter subscribers thread?
It seems to me you have a problem with cowoa and you are missing one or two of the rows your shop is expecting to find.

My best guess, without ever looking at cowoa, is that you have installed cowoa incorrectly or there is an error in it.
The string you show is looking for COWOA_order which doesn't exist in your database.
Why not rerun the sql that comes with cowoa, i thik that should solve it:
Code:
ALTER TABLE customers ADD COWOA_account tinyint(1) NOT NULL default 0;
ALTER TABLE orders ADD COWOA_order tinyint(1) NOT NULL default 0;
INSERT INTO query_builder ( query_id , query_category , query_name , query_description , query_string ) VALUES ( '', 'email,newsletters', 'Permanent Account Holders Only', 'Send email only to permanent account holders ', 'select customers_email_address, customers_firstname, customers_lastname from TABLE_CUSTOMERS where COWOA_account != 1 order by customers_lastname, customers_firstname, customers_email_address');
good luck

thanks for the reply
So the files that should goto "your template", did you actually put them in CUSTOM as that is the template directory you are working with?
Shoot me if i am wrong but hitting submit will require at least
includes/functions/functions_email.php
includes/modules/pages/subscribe/header_php.php
includes/modules/CUSTOM/subscribe_header.php
includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_subscribe_default.php
and few of the includes/language files off course.
anyway, check all the files exist in the CUSTOM folder, best guess is you are missing 1 of them.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Stupid question time. I installed the module and everything seems to work great, except the sidebox.
When I have the side box displayed, it shows the variable name, and not the variable.
For instance:
BOX_HEADING_SUBSCRIBE
BOX_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT
HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON
What did I do wrong? I'm guessing there's something I need to configure or I messed up and forgot to change a "YOUR_TEMPLATE", but I've gone through and can't find anything.
Any help?

should be copied into:
includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/
That's what I overlooked! Thanks!

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
had some trouble with this mod.
- unable to subscribe in html when subscribing from subscribe page (not from sidebox)
- malformatted html confirmation emails
- no email to customer when unsubscribing.
I have changed the code to fix those and submitted as 2.1.1
Should find it in the download section in a few...

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Sounds good!
I'll be sure to check this out and upgrade sometime. :cool:

Hey wagner,
As your problem is so persistent i would really advise you to contact your isp. They can either make the error log available to you (if they didnt do so allready, look for a log folder in your root) or they can send you a copy of the lines of the 404.
You can also try and install the mod locally so you can see the access logs yourself and find out what you may have missed.
XAMPP is your friend

Thanks for for looking though.. :)

Is anyone else having this issue

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
from what i can tell looking at some other sites.. if you select the submit button. Instead of getting the message from the subscribe file. mine is not found.. Should i change the index file in the site location, because that is what it seems to be looking at.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Alright, I have another stupid question. What link should I give out if I want to post a link somewhere else for people to click on to subscribe to the newsletter (such as a MySpace bulletin)?
I see the obvious link of http://www.chuckwa.com/store/index.p...page=subscribe but it gives an error message. Is there something else I add to the URL or a different URL which presents a "subscribe" page that doesn't include a message thanking them for subscribing and a error saying they didn't enter the email address properly?

That's what is fixed in the 2.1.1 version.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Do you have a link to download the 2.1.1 version? It is still listing 2.1.0 as the latest version on the Newsletter Subscribe entry on the download page.

I can't reproduce this error in my shop.
You may have altered the file in another way.
When you subscribe to the newsletter as a non-customer, do you get the e-mail with the confirmation link?
If you don't get this confirmation e-mail i think you should relook at your e-mail configuration settings.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

I don't know that mod, what i do know is that this mod doesn't do much in the create account section other than checking if an e-mail allready was subscribed for the newsletter.
It does not change anything in the e-mail functionality.
here is the code that gets added to the includes/modules/your_template/create_account.php Maybe you can try and add that manually to your previously used php file
PHP Code:
// BEGIN newsletter_subscribe mod 1/1
// If a newsletter only account exists we update the info,
// but keep the subscription active, and give them a message that to
// change they should do so on their account page (after creation).
if(defined('NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED') && (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED=='true')) {
$check_subscribers_query = "select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS . "
where email_address = '" . zen_db_input($email_address) . "' ";
$check_subscribers = $db->Execute($check_subscribers_query);
if ($check_subscribers->fields['total'] > 0) {
$sql = "UPDATE " . TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS . " SET
customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "',
email_format = '" . zen_db_input($email_format) . "',
confirmed = '1'
WHERE email_address = '" . zen_db_input($email_address) . "' ";
$db->Execute($sql);
$messageStack->add('create_account', SUBSCRIBE_MERGED_NEWSONLY_ACCT);
} else {
if (!empty($newsletter)) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO " . TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS . "
(customers_id, email_address, email_format, confirmed, subscribed_date)
VALUES ('" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "', '" . zen_db_input($email_address) . "', '" . zen_db_input($email_format) . "', '1', now())";
$db->Execute($sql);
}
}
}
// END newsletter_subscribe mod 1/1
// phpBB create account

PS For anyone who's using the Apple Zen template, the above line of code should have a second break in it to put the subscribe button down to the next line:
$content .= ' <br /><br />' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBSCRIBE,HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON, 'value="' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON . '" ');
Otherwise it just sits next to the text-only line :)
I have had to play around a bit to get the box to look the same across browsers. I finally got close with this:
Code:
/**

* @version $Id: tpl_subscribe.php,v 1.1 2006/06/16 01:46:16 Owner Exp $
*/
$content = '';
$content .= zen_draw_form('subscribe', zen_href_link(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE, '', 'SSL'), 'post', '');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('act', 'subscribe');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE);
$content .= (empty($subscribe_text) ? '' : $subscribe_text);
$content .= ' ' . zen_draw_input_field('email', '', 'size="18" maxlength="90" style="width: ' .
($column_width-20) . 'px" value="' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT .
'" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';"');
if(EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {
$content .= ' <br /> ' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true, 'id="emailhtmlformat"');
$content .= ' <label for="emailhtmlformat" class="radioButtonLabel">'. ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label><br />';
$content .= zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', false, 'id="emailtextformat"');
$content .= ' <label for="emailtextformat" class="radioButtonLabel">'. ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>';
}
$content .= ' <br /><br />' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SUBSCRIBE,HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON, 'value="' . HEADER_SUBSCRIBE_BUTTON . '" ');
$content .= '</form>';
?>
this is my sidebox/tpl_subscribe.php, I am using the apple zen template.
However, in IE the buttons are center align instead of left like in firefox and opera- Has anyone found a fix to that?
thx

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Hi all
I've tried installing this mod twice now, but still to no avail. FileZilla comes back and says all file transfers were successful; I go in and modify the 2 files - define_newsletter_subscribe and define_newsletter_unsubscribe as instructed.
However, when I log on to my Admin, I click the Customers tab and can still only see the following:
Customers
Orders
Group Pricing
PayPal IPN
Any ideas what I may or may not be doing?
I renamed all of the 'YOUR_TEMPLATE' folders to the name of my template prior to uploading, so that shouldn't be a problem (I forgot that last time....)
Thanks in advance.
Nick.

Please look in your admin folder, go to includes/boxes/extra_boxes
Do you have any file there that relates to subscription_manager_ ?

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Hi - just checked, and yes, I have one file:
subscription_manager_customers_dhtml.php

Nick.
Ok, thats pretty good, afaik that file should enable it to show in your admin section. Can you actually verify that the file you uploaded has content on your webserver and that it has the correct/same permissions as the other files in that folder?
This file refers to 2 other files:
your_admin/includes/languages/english/subscription_manager.php
and
your_admin/includes/extra_datafiles/subscription_manager_filenames.php
Can you check if these files have uploaded correctly as well?
BTW, i also noticed on your site that the page index.php?main_page=subscribe
does not load correctly.
It loads the left column and then stops which can be referred to as a "blank page". If you search the forum for blank page you will find dr.byte's debug script that will help you get the exact error why this page can't load.
If you can post the error you are getting when you use that debug page it would certainly help.

Not sure I understand what you mean there - what is it exactly that should be loading but doesn't?

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
brilliant! Thanks for pointing that out - I probably wouldn't have noticed. I've not managed to see the subscribe page yet, as I've not been able to get the mod to work.
I'll run the de-bug in the morning when I'm on my main laptop and post the results.
To be fair, just about every mod I've tried to do so far hasn't worked - I don't think it's entirely down to me, as I always follow the instructions to the letter (apart from the one mistake I made when I first tried to install this one). The template I use is one provided by my dropshipper (with a couple of minor changes), so don't know if they've altered the coding in any way.
Regards, and thanks for your help on this so far.

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Here is the debug report on the 'subscribe' problem:

Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
The only other one I have is this one, but I guess I need to post this into the correct thread:

To be fair though, I need to prioritise, and the newsletter sign up is most important, followed by the more_information, followed by the RSS Feed.

Heh, looks like you are going to have fun debugging some stuff :)
Anyway, for the subscribe page, it seems to be failing because it cannot locate tpl_subscribe_default.php
can you post the exact location where you have copied that file to?
-
Re: Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x
Oops!
Looks like when I copied all the files across, I also copied the 'tpl_main_page_example.php' file to:
admin/ includes/ templates/ Drop6/common
Do you think this could be the problem?
