    Default Re: MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

    I spent some time checking their website and like the mailchimp system. It seems like to really be useful this should integrate a little better with the zencart newsletters however. As it is, it appears that customers will have to sign up twice, once for the cart account, and once for the newsletter. Have you looked at how hard it would be to integrate that process, perhaps through the use of the mailchimp API?

    Full integration is something that's on my list.

    Re: Your previous question: I'm updating it to fully conform to the latest API spec; will release this week.

    MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox version 1.2 is now available in the downloads area. It fully implements the latest version of the MailChimp API and removes some of the ambiguities from the documentation that were introduced by changes to the API.

    I would love to get this working on my site. I have followed the instructions for installing it, but I keep getting error messages when I try to add an email address. I get a page that says monkeys must have stolen the page.

    One thing I noticed: Where the tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php says:
    Code:
    $content .= '<form action="http://list-manage.com/subscribe/post" method="post">';
    My code generated from mailchimp doesn't say /post. It says
    Code:
    http://mistkits.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=
    instead.
    I tried changing the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php to reflect this, but then got a different error message. This one just says an error occurred.

    Also, do I have to edit the CSS to get everything centered in the sidebox? It doesn't look so good right now.

    I have disabled the sidebox so customers will not use it.

    I will be doing a more complete MailChimp integration in the next month or so which will enable your customers to sign up for your MailChimp newsletter at login time. Stay tuned.

    Mr. Wilson,

    Thank you for putting work into this excellent plugin and your continual work on integration with the User Registration portion of Zen Cart. I think that's great. Will this integration allow access to fields other than just the email address?

    There are ways I'd like to segment my mailings that would relate to some of those fields (such as birthday) and I've read in other places that readers are more likely to open your mail if you personalize it with their name -- so that they know they opted-in. Will the new version of your plugin (is that the right term? I'm mainly a Wordpresser...) support additional fields?

    Thanks!

    Alex

    Adding fields is precisely the kind of customization I do for clients on a commercial basis.
