MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

[esugrue]

Hi!

I have installed this addon, but am curious if there should be or could be a return to store link on the confirmation page?

At the moment, the customer completes the sign up in the side-box and clicks submit and then gets an `We're almost done' page about clicking on the email confirmation.

But there is no link etc back to the store so unless they click back or type in the URL etc, they're gone.

Is this how it is supposed to look and is there a way to include a link back to the store?

The best thing I have done is cause the confirmation page to open in a new window.

How did you get it to open in new window?

Make your LINE 11 in the above file look like this:

$content .= '<form action="http://list-manage.com/subscribe/post" target="_blank" method="post">';

I am really liking this sidebox...except for ONE thing. The subscribe button. I am using CSS buttons on my site and can't figure out how to change the look of that one button to match the others. All I can see in the other sidebox files is zen_image_submit but I am not sure how to implement that into this contrib.

Hi SWGuy,

I have installed your Mail Chimp module and need to ask a couple of questions.

First, I have read the readme file, your website and this forum, but I still seam to have a few problems.

When I fill our the email field in the sidebox on my site I get taken to a Mailchimp 'Page not Found' message.

I have check the id and u code and this is what I have

// Newsletter ID - IMPORTANT! You must use your own id and userid
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_ID','id=a838###d3dca3');
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_U','u=8117a85ed###39040e10b099&amp');

Also what do I do with the other code that Mail chimp generated. I imagine this is where the problem lies. But as I am pretty new to all this I would think the problem is a simple one.

Thanks

The newer accounts follow this format:

$content .= '<form action="http://*listname*.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe

Go to the list/form code to see what you need.

That did it. Thanks
