Newsletter re-subscribe when Newsletter Subscribe module installed

[karl19]

Hello all,

I'm sorry if this is a rather daft question, but I've been trying things out, searched the forum and can't figure it out. When a customer decides to unsubscribe from the newsletter, how do they resubscribe if they later change their mind?! Clicking on "My account > View or change my account information", a customer can change their settings between HTML and Text-only, but not chose whether to receive newsletters or not. Is there a switch I'm missing somewhere?

I should also mention that I've using the newsletter-only subscription module at the same time, to allow for newsletter subscriptions for those who don't want an account.

Happy for any pointers!

Thanks,
Karl

Instead of My account > View or change my account information look below My account:

Hi bencart!

Thanks for you reply. Hehe, if it would have been there, I might have seen it, however it was a little trickier than that. Digging a bit deeper, I realised this link in the "My account" section is tied to the "Newsletter unsubscribe" in the information sidebox. Since I didn't want it there, I'd disabled "Display 'Newsletter Unsubscribe' Link?" under Admin > Configuration > E-mail Options. And I couldn't turn of the information sidebox, since I was using most of the other menus.

Not sure if there's another better way, with two switches, but now I've enabled it in the configurations and then dimmed it in the template file for that sidebox. Perhaps not ideal, but works ok for my purposes.
