Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

[JenniferXO]

Okay, I see I had to register the link in Admin Page and have installed it okay but I still get the parse error when I click Customers > Customers

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/content/96/11406796/html/2014/myadmin/customers.php on line 341

Any suggestions?

Just thought this post bore re-posting..

You're probably far better off integrating something like the Mailchimp sidebox and having your customers signup for your newsletter that way. Then periodically export your newsletter subscribers from your store using the Email Address Exporter, and load them into your Mailchimp account.

I make that recommendation because the Mailchimp addon involves only a small handful of files. But this archaic old "Newsletter Subscribe" addon alters a zillion core files and makes upgrading a NIGHTMARE, plus results in tons of confusing support requests when someone decides to uninstall it because uninstalling isn't clean or easy.

Thanks, I'll look into that but for now I have it installed already and don't want to create a bigger mess trying to remove it.

I'm having the same issue. Also, when i go to the customers -> customers tab, all I get is a blank page. Everything else seems to be working. I've gone as far as using Filemerge to find the file edits, but nothing stands out code wise.

I had the same problem. Now it is working fine for me. What I did is to only copy code sections those related to the Addon from new customer.php to the existing customer.php. Also check the folders name before copying files. Do not forget to change YOUR_TEMPLATE to your template name, and also for module name. One last thing, for those who do not see Subscription Manager under Customer menu, do not forget to register the page at Admin Access Management>Admin Page Registration with the information given Admin page registration.txt file.

Okay, new problem! I am having weird issues with data base interactions, specifically adding new subscriptions to the database. When I add new subscriptions manually through the Admin (which I do frequently), The first address works fine, but any subsequent additions get and error. The problem is that any new address is getting added with an index of 0 (subscriber number) and not at the end of the table as it should be. If I go into PHPmyAdmin and manually change the Subscriber Number to the next appropriate one, everything works fine. For exactly one entry. The other problem, which seems related, is whenever someone tries to sign up from the normal website, there is an error. I can't seems to track down exactly 'what' error, but is seems to be the same kind of issue. If the email address is already in the database, then it is properly found and the "email address is already subscribed" message properly is displayed. So, somewhere, and I can't find where, the plugin is not correctly finding the right index for the next subscription and not advancing it the way it should. If there is anyone still supporting this plugin who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I installed the newest newsletter add-on onto my 1.5.3 zencart store. When I upload the file in newsletter admin/customer.php. The customer/customer page went blank. When I upload the original zencart customer.php back to my store, the customer/customer page went back. All other newsletter files stayed.

I noticed somebody else reported the same issue. Did anybody figure it out?

In the page customers.php there is an error at line 251...
This line:
if ($check_email->RecordCount() > 0) {

is double, delete one and the file is ok.... ;-)

I installed this on 1.5.4 but don't see any links to firstly upgrade the database and secondly no link Subscription Manager under the customers menu. Is this ready for 1.5.4?
