MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

Yes. There are detailed instructions on my web page http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart_mailchimp.html - the names and titles that MailChimp uses are changed all the time and I don't want to keep updating the plugin to provide that level of detailed documentation; the readme just gets you going at a high level.

Excellent swguy! That should give me what I need to get it going!

Thanks...

I get an unsecure site error when using mailchimp and Mozilla browser from zencart where I use this program.

On my main site By directing my site to use http instead of https for the mail list I avoid the blocked padlock icon and warning BUT get a small popup saying site is unsecure.

I have SSL certificate on site but MailChimp does not support SSL according to many emails between myself and mailchimp support today.

Why MailCHimp would not work with SSL is really bothering me as you would think they would want the maximum security for me and my customers.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of the un secure site warning?

I use 1.5.4 version

Main site link is here under mailing list popup. This uses the supplied small url that MailCHimp supplies:
https://ultimatepicklejar.com/ [mail links only work from index page here as I have not changed the rest of the page links to reflect the new signup form]

https://www.ultimatepicklejar.com/zen-cart6/ this is the store site where I use the MailCHimp Newsletter Sidebox. [ which I can not also set the width to work correctly]

It's almost certainly the form action part of your \includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php, line 10

Drop the http:, e.g '//YourSite.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe/post' instead of 'http://YourSite.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe/post'

I did and still get error:
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_URL','//ultimatepicklejar.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe/post');

This is line 851 of page source for mail list clicking subscribe with no email address in the box:
<form action="http://ultimatepicklejar.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe/post" method="POST">

Adding an email address works but warning is still there.

I contacted MailChimp and they suggested adding Wufoo service for another $10 a month I guess...

What is your url with the error?

I just upgraded my website to the latest version of Zen-cart, and I'm having a bit of trouble getting this mod to work.

In the file:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php

Where the line used to read

$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_LOGIN_SUCCESS_VIA_CREATE_ACCOUNT');

In Zen-cart 1.5.5 it now reads

$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_LOGIN_SUCCESS_VIA_CREATE_ACCOUNT', $email_address, $extra_welcome_text, $send_welcome_email);

if ($send_welcome_email) {

Can I add the following code in the same place?

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

@robraymond

Yes.

MailChimp is expiring the API that my integration is based on at the end of the year. Sometime prior to then (hopefully before October) I will update the plugin. I will post back to this thread when it's all done.

This contribution has been updated to support API version 3.0. All other versions will be deprecated after 12/31/16 so please update!
