Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

[virago]

Hi NG;

First of all thank you for your patience on this.

I went back and renamed all the files (not realizing there was more than one) and re-uploaded those, however, I am still getting the same result. Anything else I could check for?

In this world there are heroes who want to be known as heroes and those who just buckle down and get on with things.

The actual file that's missing is:
/includes/language/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/newsletter_subscribe_definitions.php

That's what holds the defines for the sidebox.
Again, you'd rename the 'yourTemplate' bit (or move it up a level into the extra_definitions/ folder)

I've attached the file in question.
If you have other languages as well, you'd of course copy that to the apropo language folder and translate.

NG,
Do you have asolution for this post?

Am I missing something here?

I have this installed on a test site and it shows perfectly fine in the sidebox, however it doesnt matter where I put the code in the tpl_header.php it will not show up, currently testing with 1.3.5 and using the newest upgrade for this contrubition. Below is the code I currently have.

<?php

 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I renamed everything as it should be but still no results.

Sorry NG, didnt mean to double post, I did not see your answer however, I did turn on the header control in admin, but it still does not show. For what reason I have no clue.

But I do have the code here where I did replace the code in tpl_header.php file.

<?php
/**

 *
 * this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_header.php<br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_header = true;<br />

I placed the code in between the lines

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
    <div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?>
<?php 

 if(defined('NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED') &&
    (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED=='true') &&
    (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_HEADER=='true')) {
     include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE_HEADER));
 }

?>
</div>

Seemed to knock it right. I would recommend a code replacement in your next release dont know if anyone else had troubles but I sure do hope this helps someone in the near future.

NG got one more question for you.

What do I edit to make the worrds Newsletter to appear above the subscribe box?

Thanks again

In the file I mentioned a few posts up-
/includes/language/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/newsletter_subscribe_definitions.php

p.s. I won't get the update done tonight. I started out three hours ago trying to do a 'simple' itunes update that managed to kill my computer twice and still not be complete 3hrs later. *sigh* soooo much wasted time. Think I can send Apple a bill for $45 for lost productivity? :)

[knuckle-101]

Dont feel bad, I lost much dollars to but you got a little something coming your way. So do not worry about that.

I tried editing the file you specified but all it does is make the title longer does not seperate from the
Newsletter: email box submit

I like to have this for

Newsletter:
Email box submit

I dont mean to pound on your forum just I spent 4 days trying to get it to work, but thats my fault for two reasons did not see the header control in admin and didnt study it hard enough

But I hope it all works well for you.
