it's a known bug not related to the newsletter subscriptions. Please search the forum I saw it was answered somewhere already. I had this bug when upgraded my store from ZC 1.3.6 to 1.3.7.

I had already check the forum before I posted, the error was different. this is the error they were getting when they were trying to create an account: 1146 Table 'bea15660_zc1.TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS' doesn't exist
in:
[select count(*) as total from TABLE_SUBSCRIBERS where email_address = '[email protected]' ] I dont't see the answer to that problem either.

I'm having a MAJOR problem, When customer changes his email from account page the newsletter manager confuses old and new address and they end up looking like this [email protected]'[email protected]....

I just might be missing some file but not really likely

I see what you mean now, poosk. Never tried linking directly to the subscribe page, but I'll see what I can do about that. Shouldn't be anything complicated.

thanks for the update and contribution but still the same major problem remains that email address error is displayed EVERY time customer enters the subscribe page... even if he wouldn't had ever visited the page or yet typed anything in the box

Please help me to edit the header php file or subscribe template file to fix this problem!!

I'm totally losing my nerves with this thing.. Since I've used my whole day to solve this and I really don't know how to figure it out please help.

1. problem
index.php?main_page=subscribe displays always an error when someone enters the page -> Fix: change the error (from header.php and language file) to display something nonconfusing like enter your email

2.
I can transfer all logged in customers straight to account_newsletters (copied from module/pages/login/header.php) which probably solves something at least makes things easier

3.MAJOR problem
If email is edited from account_edit it creates duplicate entry from email in to the subscription manager and does NOT override the previous email. Same happens whatever is updated from account_edit and subscription manager ends up having entry [email protected]'[email protected]

4.MAJOR problem
All subscriptions made through index.php?main_page=subscribe are TEXT-ONLY even though html would be selected and displayed as default it won't work...

Byte, Ajeh, anyone please help me since I just don't have enough insight how these things work in zen. MANY THANKS

To fix this you need to edit the includes/modules/pages/account_edit/header_php.php file and change the bit that says...

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

...to...

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

It should be somewhere near line 163.

Hope that helps.

Christian.

Christian THANK YOU! That did the trick.. and I found a way to change the it to html by default but can I hide the radio buttons (text & html) somehow since they don't work anyhow?

To fix this you need to edit the /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_subscribe_header.php file and change the lines that read...

    $content .= '<label class="smallText">' . zen_draw_radio_field('customers_email_format', 'HTML', true) . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>';
    $content .= '<label class="smallText">' . zen_draw_radio_field('customers_email_format', 'TEXT', false) . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>'; 

...to...

    $content .= '<label class="smallText">' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true) . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>';
    $content .= '<label class="smallText">' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', false) . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>'; 

Should be round lines 22-23.

Hope that helps.
