[knuckle-101]

Search this thread, the fix is in here, what version you running? The newest one?

This is one of the reasons I don't like mods that have been taken over without leaving the original in place. What I wouldn't give to be able to compare NotGoddess's version with that of sparrish.
</rant>

NotGoddess started the mod and (apparently) dropped off the map. sparrish "took over" but modified many things in the original.
Folks are having problems with the version created by sparrish that were occurring in NotGoddess's earlier version.
NotGoddess started an attempt to fix the problem in post #275 of this thread but only had a quick fix.

update subscribers set subscribed_date = now() where subscribed_date = '0000-00-00';

Run that sql update and the dates will change for you. For some reason, the system inserts a null versus a correct date in the situation you mentioned.
Sorry I can't be of mere help. Wish either NotGoddess or sparrish would return.

Thanks for replying, I will give that a try tomorrow on my test server first.

So don't we anyone to work on this contribution.

Woody619,
The cause of your woes is an 'omission in the code' in /includes/modules/your_template/create_account.php around line 330.

Change:

$sql = "INSERT INTO " . TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS . "
(customers_id, email_address, email_format, confirmed)
VALUES ('" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "', '" . $email_address . "', '" . $email_format . "', '1')";


to read:

$sql = "INSERT INTO " . TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS . "
(customers_id, email_address, email_format, confirmed, subscribed_date)
VALUES ('" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "', '" . $email_address . "', '" . $email_format . "', '1', now())";

Rgds,

Chuck

I'm still unable to resolve this issue. I now know from Tez that:

But I still haven't been able to determine what steps to follow to make these changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit /includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_subscribe.php and remove the following

if(EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {
$content .= ' <br /> <label>' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true) . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>';
$content .= ' <label style="white-space:nowrap">' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', false) . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>';
}

The customer default email format is set in Admin-Configuration-Customer Details.

Beautiful - That did the trick. Thanks Chuck

Question: When signing up for a newsletter account, it is defaulting to text instead of html. In my admin/config/email it is set to default to HTML and altering the Admin-Configuration-Customer Details doen't seem to have any effect. Any idea how to force an HTML default?

Thanks again - Tim

[Chuckl]

Tim, Yes, I think it is in

/includes/modules/pages/subscribe/header_php.php,

about line 33, there's a 'TEXT' there that should be 'HTML'.

Hopefully that will force the issue.

Worked like a charm!

Thanks for taking the time to help me out, Chuck. This issue has been one of those minor annoyances that I've really wanted to check-off the ever-expanding 'to-do' list.

Thanks again - Tim

Hey, thanks for the great mod. Just installed V2.06 on my Zencart 1.36 and it works fine... up until...

Getting the following error when trying to click in the e-mail confirm newsletter-only subscription with a test e-mail:

"Error This email address has not been registered."

That comes up when I do either HTML or Text. In the Subscription Manager, the e-mail address does show up with Status P, but unless I go in and check the box myself, they won't be confirmed.

here's my site, in case any of you want to test it out...
