How to delete the "newsletter subscribe" box when logging in ?

[Akasashasha]

using zencart 1.3.7 ( I know I need to upgrade, will be done soon)

Hi guys,

is there a easy way to delete the newsletter subscribe box in the logging in online area ... the point is that I'm now using mailchimp so I'm gonna paste a link to a chimp form somwhere on my homepage.

Thanks

You can open tpl_modules_create_account.php, find this and remove the red part:

<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_PREFERENCE; ?></legend>
<?php
if (ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTER_STATUS != 0) {
?>
<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('newsletter', '1', $newsletter, 'id="newsletter-checkbox"') . '<label class="checkboxLabel" for="newsletter-checkbox">' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER . '</label>' . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php } ?>

You'll also need to edit this define in english.php to remove the newsletter part:

Line #616 : define('ENTRY_EMAIL_PREFERENCE','Newsletter and Email Details');

...thanks, and I just thought about something else : can you tell me how to do if instead of displaying the newsletter checkbox I would like to display "Newsletter Subscription" and when people click on it it links to my maylchimp form directly.
thanks

You can open [B]tpl_modules_create_account.php[/B

can someone help me locate this file please? thanks:)

[stevesh]

That file is in includes/templates/template_default/templates

After editing it would go in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/templates


You could code a link (a href ...) around the same place in that file that linked to your form.

Admin - Configuration - Email Options

ok perfect. thank you.
now i am trying to add another "define_page file" for that same side box. this is where i would like to put my newsletter subscription link. i see it in my zen admin back end, but it doesn't show up in my side bar in my store.. i hope that made sense? can someone help me get it to show up?
