    I don't know if this has already been answered: I successfully installed the module. Everything works fine when I enter a new email address in the sidebox. However, in the set up new acccount box in the checkout page, I get both a mailchimp confirmation email as well as the traditional zencart welcome email. Is it supposed to do that, or did I miss something so that the traditional ZC welcome email isn't generated? Thanks

    Yes. But if someone has a template change and doesn't merge it or uses some signup mod or whatever, it might appear not to work.

    I've read up on this plug-in and it could be what I'm looking for to add a newsletter-only option to my website. I have one question and one concern I'd like to post to the group to get information and opinions from others before I make my final decision.

    Question: Is this plug-in a sidebox-only mod or is the plug-in configurable to be placed in the header or footer of the page as well. I am not using side columns on my website so would need to configure the code for the header/footer of my website.

    Concern: MailChimp developers making unpublished changes to the MailChimp code which affects this plug-in. I read in this thread that the MailChimp developers constantly tweak their code. That worries me as I wouldn't want to wake up some morning and find out that the email plug-in on my site doesn't work due to an unpublished MailChimp mod. My understanding from reading the thread is that swguy tries to stay on top of those mods which is great but I'm worried about the plug-in not working on my site between the gap of time of the MailChimp mod and the time that swguy updates the plug-in.

    This plugin allows for the addition of the side box and for the newsletter check box on the create account page to work with MailChimp. There is no footer or header 'box'.

    MailChimp can and does make changes that affect this plugin. Thankfully, it's not too often and the community here is pretty quick to identify the changes and make adjustments (thanks swguy).

    Thanks for the quick reply. What I was looking for in functionality (and thought this plug-in did this) was a "box" like the "sign up for newsletter" box seen in the header of this forum page.

    Hi All,

    I'm a little lost at the moment...

    I've followed the instructions and can get subscriptions to mailchimp to work via a sidebox sign-up but not via the create account process.

    When I register a new user on my site via the create account process a subscription to mailchimp does not occurr; some details:
    1) Zencart v1.50
    2) No log is created in the cache folder of the site, I changed the code to write to /logs/mailchimp.log but still no log appears
    3) No subscription appears in mailchimp
    4) It's almost as it t he create_account.php is not calling the code at all (yet it does create accounts).
    5) I've searched my site for any other create_account.php in case I've missed an overloaded file somewhere. Here's an excerpt from the file:

    // restore cart contents
    $_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();

    // hook notifier class
    $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_LOGIN_SUCCESS_VIA_CREATE_ACCOUNT');

    if ((int)$newsletter == 1) {
    mailchimp_add($email_address, $email_format);
    }

    // build the message content
    $name = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;


    I'm not quite sure where to look now :-( Tips would be greatly appreciated!

    By the way; the create account process doesn't jump to Mailchimp's site to verify the subscription does it?

    Regards,
    Troy.

    Did you verify that they checked the newsetter box? Did you try printing the value of $newsletter before the if statement?
