Subscribe to Newsletter module

[roger06]

Hi

Is the newsletter subscription box standard or do I have to download and install one?

I can't seem to find one in the admin although the 'information' box has a 'newsletter unsubscribe' option so I'm thinking there must be a 'subscribe' option somewhere!!

Thanks

The newsletter subscribe function is not part of the default install.

There is a module for this function in the downloads/other section

thank you!

*** ignore below - tpl_subscribe.php was installed in the wrong place!


Thanks

I've downloaded and installed this - I get the 'Subscription Manager' menu item in the admin but no sidebox in the 'Tools' / 'Layout Box Controller' option so can't actually get it on the front end.

Any ideas?

I've downloaded and installed this

What ver of the download and what ver of Zen Cart -
I have not installed this recently but do know that if installed correctly it functions.
It is not as I recall, the easiest Module to install

Did you navigate to the admin > tools > layout boxes controller and turn-on/enable and place/position the sidebox

Hello,
I am having the same problem as Roger. I have just downloaded the latest version of Newsletter Sunscribe, all went well..
Except that there doesnt seem to be an option for it in the Layout Box Controller.

Any ideas?

You probably did not rename all the folders correctly. Go through each and every folder and make sure you have renamed custom_template to your template.

Its not that, I just installed the mod, and the problem is with the directories (sidebox path) what it does is it gives an incorrect path.

Example:
Proper Path:

/member/site/httpdocs/sales/includes/modules/sideboxes/subscribe.php


What the mod does is here:

/member/site/httpdocs/sales/includes/modules/sideboxes/template_default/subscribe.php


I have been trying to find a way to change the Sideboxes path, but cannot.

Anyone got any ideas? Maybe change the template path to take template_default over just sideboxes, i.e. just add another folder to sideboxes folder.

And if you move subscribe.php to the default location where all the other sidebox .php's are at, then you get errors.

I've placed the subscribe.php into the /sideboxes/ directory instead of sideboxes/template_default/ dir and it functions well except it does not give the proper texts.

It just shows BOX_HEADING_SUBSCRIBE at the top, BOX_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT below it, same for the text box and the button. In fact it doesn't even show the button.

Anyone know? I am completely lost.

Thanks!
