Hi all,

How do i make it so its a blank template and i can put my own html in the newsletters without the tables, writing and logo been there already?

You can add an image to the newsletter by doing copying the file I have attached

edit the section below to match your domain and image location use the image size of 125x90 for best results

define('BOX_SUBSCRIBE_DEFAULT_TEXT', '<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/newsletter/subscribe.jpg">');

If you have any kind of php or coding knowledge you can add whatever you desire to.

When updating Email Address of a customer through shop front end website you get a problem.
Email Address shows up as

name@example.com'name@example.com

I think this code is the problem, but I am not sure how to fix it with the weird colon prefixes.

	  $sql = "UPDATE " . TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS . " SET
			email_address = :emailAddress'" . $email_address . "',
			email_format = :emailFormat'" . $email_format . "'
			WHERE customers_id = :customersID";

UPDATE:
I removed the :emailFormat and :emailAddress, fixed my problem. Also need to DELETE existing records that match the new email address when they are NULL customers_id to avoid "duplicate key" errors. And if you add/import an email address via ADMIN which already exists as a customer address you will cause trouble, there needs to be code to check for that.

Is it possible to remove the "HTML" & "TEXT-Only" plus the corresponding buttons from this module? If so, can the internal settings default to html for all customers?

Thanks!

HTML is the default option so if you just hide the form buttons in the subscribe and update account areas it would suffice.

Thanks for responding, Tez. Could I impose on you for a bit more detail? I've been digging around but this is a pretty beefy module and I'm feeling a bit out of my league. What steps would I follow to make this change?

Thanks again - Tim

If you are experiencing problems with the header display it's because the template file is not referenced. Fix:

Open: root/includes/modules/MYTEMPLATE/subscribe_header.php

Replace: (Line 20)

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_subscribe_header',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_subscribe_header.php'); 

With:

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_subscribe_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_subscribe_header.php'); 

Error is the missing .php extension on the first tpl_subscribe_header.

Cheers,

Bjorn

Does this work with 1.3.7? Is there a lot of modifications to make it work if it doesn't?

Thanks,
