remove newsletter

[tuor]

Here is a way to remove the newsletter field. Open includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
and find the following code:

<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 } ?>

<?php echo zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', ($email_format == 'HTML' ? true : false),'id="email-format-html"') . '<label class="radioButtonLabel" for="email-format-html">' . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>' .  zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', ($email_format == 'TEXT' ? true : false), 'id="email-format-text"') . '<label class="radioButtonLabel" for="email-format-text">' . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>

Now replace it with this code:

<?php if (ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTER_STATUS != 0) { ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_PREFERENCE; ?></legend>
<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('newsletter', '1', $newsletter, 'id="newsletter-checkbox"') . '<label class="checkboxLabel" for="newsletter-checkbox">' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER . '</label>' . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php echo zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', ($email_format == 'HTML' ? true : false),'id="email-format-html"') . '<label class="radioButtonLabel" for="email-format-html">' . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>' .  zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', ($email_format == 'TEXT' ? true : false), 'id="email-format-text"') . '<label class="radioButtonLabel" for="email-format-text">' . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</fieldset>
<?php } ?>

This way, if the "Show Newsletter Checkbox" option in the backend is set to 0, no entry field will be shown.

Thanks this thread helps.

turn off the newsletter subscribe box in admin>configuration>customer details

Even after turning it off in the admin console I was having problems. But I followed tuor's advice and it no longer shows up. Thanks tuor!

If you are trying to get rid of the newsletter link in the orders history section of a user's account page...

https://some.domain.tld/index.php?main_page=account

...look at the code, where it shows:

<?php
  if (SHOW_NEWSLETTER_UNSUBSCRIBE_LINK !='false' or CUSTOMERS_PRODUCTS_NOTIFICATION_STATUS !='0') {
?>
<h2><?php echo EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS_TITLE; ?></h2>
<ul id="myAccountNotify" class="list">
<?php
  if (SHOW_NEWSLETTER_UNSUBSCRIBE_LINK=='true') {
?>
<li><?php echo ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTERS, '', 'SSL') . '">' . EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS_NEWSLETTERS . '</a>'; ?></li>
<?php } //endif newsletter unsubscribe ?>
<?php
  if (CUSTOMERS_PRODUCTS_NOTIFICATION_STATUS == '1') {
?>
<li><?php echo ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_NOTIFICATIONS, '', 'SSL') . '">' . EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS_PRODUCTS . '</a>'; ?></li>

<?php } //endif product notification ?>
</ul>

<?php } // endif don't show unsubscribe or notification ?>

...or, in plain English, goto admin console -> Configuration -> E-Mail Options, then set Newsletter "Unsubscribe Link" to false... and you won't see the newsletter link.

Can Tuor's reply above also be used to remove the whole section on the My Account page?
