Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

[lindenboy]

Gotta preface, I'm a noob, but:

This MOD is FREAKING BRILLIANT for sure! I am so happy to have found this one as it is going to make my life easier in the short run, and I think give customers a very prudent choice about whether or not to give us their full info, but to still be involved with the store.

THANK YOU x 100! And if I may buy you (and the other developers) a drink next time you are in Indy : )

Now, my only question: As bizarre as it sounds, is there an easy way to offer un-subscription, other than directing folks to the unsubscribe page / link (which isn't by default a part of the sidebox, but is easy enough to link to). I just want to make people who do subscribe from the side box or as a result of an email link, to feel that visually it is so easy to unsubscribe that subsribing is a no brainer. Perhaps an integrated page where entering the email and clicking a button in the sidebox or page which says 'unsubscribe' - right next to the subscribe button would effectively get them the reverse of a subscription.

That's a long way to say where is the unsubscribe functionality I guess. Any thoughts are appreciated, I can certainly work with it as is -- GREAT MOD.

Hi,

I've just installed this contribution. Everything is working fine, expect my 'send email' function under 'tools' is not functioning.

It says: 1267 Illegal mix of collations (latin1_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'locate'
in:
[SELECT s.email_address as customers_email_address FROM znc_subscribers as s LEFT JOIN znc_configuration as q on LOCATE( s.email_address, q.configuration_value) >= 1 WHERE configuration_key = 'NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_TEST_GROUP' ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.


Which part of the settings have i not set?
Appreciated if someone could me on this.

I've attached a pic for reference as well.

I have ALMOST the same as you....
The difference is in colour
My website is here

you have to go to phpmyadmin and check the tables. one table has the wrong collation. change that tables collation

How do you do this?

I got this working. Changed all tables in phpAdmin to latin1_general_ci
which included the ones for the modules:
Poll Box
Rewards Points
News Box

I also changed newsletter and subscriber

I then went to admin >> Customers >> Subscription Manager, uninstalled it and then re-installed and it all works fine.

Kind Regards Casey

I have started another thread but I think this is the tread I should list in. I think the newsletter module is causing the problem.
Here is the problem. The newsletter module is working like it is suppose to. I can send newsletters to the ones who want them, I just can't send out regular emails to any customers who is not sign up. In other words a customer that is not sign up for the newsletter I can not send them a regular email when I select admin/send mail.
I mean if a customer bought something from me and paid for that item and I notice afterward the item is out of stock that they bought, now I need to email the customer to let them know whats going on but this particular customer is not sign up to our newsletter the system will not let me email them for some reason.

That was a long thread to read!!! As anyone figured out how to add the unsubscribe link to the newsletters?

I did not try before installing this module, so I am not sure it's supposed to be there in the first place.

The Email Options>Newsletter Unsubscribe Link in my admin is well set on true.

Apart from adding it manually when sending newsletters, I couldn’t find any solution in the forums.

Thanks!

Zen Cart automatically adds the unsubscribe link to "html" newsletters regardless whether you use this mod or not

Text only emails are the problem.
Zen adds an unsubscribe link, but it requires the user to login.
Again regardless if you use this mod or not.

goto...
admin->customers->Subscription Manager
Click the "Install" button
This automagically does the sql required
