    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.

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


    HTML Code:
    $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

    You want:

    // Newsletter ID - IMPORTANT! You must use your own id and userid
    define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_ID','a83###dca3');
    define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_U','8117a85###439040e10b099');

    Thank you,

    It is amazing when you do it right how everything works perfectly.

    So, do we do nothing with all that code generated in Mail Chimp?

    Thanks again

    Hi swguy,

    Thank you so much for this contribution - I've installed it on my site, and it appears to be working correctly, but I have a couple of questions.

    1. How do I add a link to the 'almost finished' page to redirect people back to my site (or is that something that I would set up via MailChimp admin?)

    2. There was some 'talk' earlier in this forum of (eventually) being able to signup to the NL at time of initial new customer acct creation. (I don't have a Newsletter tick on my signup page ......is this possible?....Or have I done something wrong during installation?)

    Many thanks again - you're wonderful!!!
