There is a patch on my site for that:

My compliments! This is a very nice addition to my storefront. And while I was indeed terrified installing it, (fearing the worst) once in place it not only operated beautifully but there were literally no other major modifications because of it. Very well thought out.

The only comment I have is that in IE the font is quite tiny. Not so small as to be unusable but smaller then I'd like. Is there a fix for this? I realize that there is a lot of info in a very tight space and it may be unavoidable.

Again, congratulations on a well-made and well-designed product.

First, thank you. :)

The sidebox itself has no font styling-it is just following your stylesheet. The style that affects it is in your main stylesheet.css (line 51):

h4, h5, h6, label, h4.optionName, legend, address, .sideBoxContent, .larger
{
    font-size: 0.8em;
}

The text is both sideBoxContent and a label (because it's a label for the email input). FF seems to parse this okay, but IE seems to apply the style 2x (once for each part), so you are getting a font-size of .8 x .8 em, or ~0.6em.

You could try adding an overriding style specifically for labels inside sideboxes:

.sideBoxContent label { font-size:1em !important;}

(you may have to play around with the actual size setting to get it right)


Also, since your sideboxes are so narrow, you may want to edit the sidebox template and adjust the width of the email input field. It uses

style="width: ' . ($column_width-30) . 'px"

by default, but you might want to change that 30 to something smaller, like 10, or change that entire calculation to

style="width: 95%"

That did the trick - Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful contribution.
I have noticed in the admin panel though, that upon initial subscription the status is set to N (newsletter only), rather than P (pending confirmation) - which is what I would expect it to be set as...

I haven't tried sending a test newsletter...so I'm not sure if this is an issue or not...

Thanks again for the wonderful module

Not likely an issue, more likely a typo. I'll look/correct it in the new release.

Does the newsletter only subscription works fine with V1.3.0.2 ??

There are changes on core files:
audience.php
function_email.php
account_edit/header_php.php

Thanks

yes, so long as you do a file comparison you should be alright.

I took a look at the changes using WinMerge, and they are in different areas, so there are no direct conflicts but you will want to merge the differences. I'll make sure the new release incorporates the patches.
