Hi
Is the newsletter subscription box standard or do I have to download and install one?:blush:
I can't seem to find one in the admin although the 'information' box has a 'newsletter unsubscribe' option so I'm thinking there must be a 'subscribe' option somewhere!!
Thanks
The newsletter subscribe function is not part of the default install.
There is a module for this function in the downloads/other section
thank you!
*** ignore below - tpl_subscribe.php was installed in the wrong place!
Thanks
I've downloaded and installed this - I get the 'Subscription Manager' menu item in the admin but no sidebox in the 'Tools' / 'Layout Box Controller' option so can't actually get it on the front end.
Any ideas?
Roger
What ver of the download and what ver of Zen Cart -Quote:
I've downloaded and installed this
I have not installed this recently but do know that if installed correctly it functions.
It is not as I recall, the easiest Module to install
Did you navigate to the admin > tools > layout boxes controller and turn-on/enable and place/position the sidebox
Hello,
I am having the same problem as Roger. I have just downloaded the latest version of Newsletter Sunscribe, all went well..
Except that there doesnt seem to be an option for it in the Layout Box Controller.
Any ideas?
Slightly perplexed beep
You probably did not rename all the folders correctly. Go through each and every folder and make sure you have renamed custom_template to your template.
Its not that, I just installed the mod, and the problem is with the directories (sidebox path) what it does is it gives an incorrect path.
Example:
Proper Path:
/member/site/httpdocs/sales/includes/modules/sideboxes/subscribe.php
What the mod does is here:
/member/site/httpdocs/sales/includes/modules/sideboxes/template_default/subscribe.php
I have been trying to find a way to change the Sideboxes path, but cannot.
Anyone got any ideas? Maybe change the template path to take template_default over just sideboxes, i.e. just add another folder to sideboxes folder.
And if you move subscribe.php to the default location where all the other sidebox .php's are at, then you get errors. :(
I've placed the subscribe.php into the /sideboxes/ directory instead of sideboxes/template_default/ dir and it functions well except it does not give the proper texts.
It just shows BOX_HEADING_SUBSCRIBE at the top, BOX_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT below it, same for the text box and the button. In fact it doesn't even show the button.
:dontgetit
Anyone know? I am completely lost.
Thanks!
Okay after looking around I have found a solution.
what i did was I moved the files that are associated with the Subscriber back into my default directories, not the ones that were specified, I didn't even have to rename them. Here is what I did:
Original:
host/store/includes/modules/sideboxes/template_default/subscribe.php
Moved one /dir up:
host/store/includes/modules/sideboxes/subscribe.php
As this was my default path. I didn't need to rename nothing. I think I am using the default template(which is wrong), but for now I am using that. And most of you that had a problem with that, this is most likely the issue.
Other files that needed relocation:
store/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/template_default/newsletter_subscribe_definitions.php (one dir up)
store/includes/languages/english/template_default/subscribe.php
subscribe_confirm.php
unsubscribe.php
Thats 3 files, one directory up.
Hope that this helps, and hope that it isn't too confusing. If you have questions, PM me.
Cheers.
Hi, I know it's a bit belated b ut i have sorted it out now.
Sadly, it was so long ago i can't remember the solution. Something about putting things in different folders to where was initially thought.
>> Customer Email not Added to the Newsletter <<
Does anyone have the same problem as me?
[background]
Customers can subscribe for newsletter when they sign up for an account.
Non-account holders can subscribe to newsletter without an account via the sidebox (newsletter subscription mod).
I've used 3 different emails to sign up as 3 customers and all checked the newsletter subscription box upon account creation.
All 3 are added to customers list but none in the newsletter subscription list.
But when I subscribe for newsletter via the sidebox direct (no account), it's ok.
Help please!!
thks in advance!!
To my recollection, these are separate lists - customers and subscribers onlyQuote:

the only place i can find such lists is under the admin panel, customers/subscription manager.
but this is the newsletter-only list.
may i know where i can find the list of customers who subscribed for newsletter?
thanks again!
I do not recall that there is a list for viewing. When you go to tools > Newsletter and Product Notifications Manager > and create a newsletter > then select to send it- - - There is a drop box presented with options of what groups to send the letter to - - once sent the following is presented:Quote:

It would be a box to type name and another box below to type their email address.
Many Thanks
I love your newsletter sign up! It looks great! How/what file did you add the image?Quote:

Which newsletter sign up did you use?
Thanks, Kim
I have all the files uploaded but when I click on the "Install" button I just get a blank page.
admin/subscription_manager.php?action=install
No text, nothing. Can't seem to figure out why, double checked all files are uploaded.
Any thoughts?
Not very informative - lots of important information not providedQuote:

Go back and insure that you have installed correctly ALL the filesQuote:

Works when you put things where they are meant to go ;)
Sorry to bug you guys over my stupidity!
Can (anyone of) you upload all the files in the right order on a server? I had it installed 2 times, no luck! Read again this topic, still no luck... or isn't this working with the Zen Cart 1.5 version?
Thanks!
Initially I had problems installing this add-ons but I realised I hadn't changed all the "YOUR_TEMPLATE"s to the name of the template I'm using. There are quite a few sub-directives where you need to do that. When I fixed this (self-inflicted) error, everything worked as it should. And the missing sidebox suddenly showed up under TOOLS/LAYOUT BOXES CONTROLLER.
Great add-on in my opinion.
Kim
You can have a look at www.PUREchocolatetruffles.co.uk
I have seen somewhere, that this add-on doesn't work under Zen Cart 1.5. You should use another add-on called MailChimp Integration.Quote:

You would need to download the CAPTCHA plug-in you like and go from there support pages... non-CAPTCHA comes with sample pages for different mods including this one.Quote:
