newsletter opt out instead of opt in

[swguy]

Instead of

<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('newsletter', '1', $newsletter, 'id="newsletter-checkbox"') ....

do

<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('newsletter', '1', true, 'id="newsletter-checkbox"') ....

See how $newsletter is the third parameter (counting from 1) to zen_draw_checkbox_field.
This is what you change to the value true.

Good luck,
Scott

Alternatively, in your admin panel:

configuration->customer details->Show Newsletter Checkbox

This just controls whether it's shown or not.

Actually it's possible to change it from the admin panel like Audra mentioned. There are 3 checkboxes:

Show Newsletter Checkbox
0= off
1= Display Unchecked
2= Display Checked

Number 2 works perfectly fine.

Erica,

Yes it is possible to do what you want but if you are in the United States, you could be in violation of anti-spam laws in several states.

Is there a list of states somewhere that outlines where all this applies? I've had difficulty finding out if this applies in Illinois.

Really, even if there is the option to uncheck the box?
