Is there any way to NOT have the confirm email sent out.
I just want people to sign up for the newsletter, and they are immediately confirmed and on the list. All Done. I can work out the email bounces later. All this confirming stuff is inefficient and a hassle for the potential subscriber. Its my job to sort out the good from the bad.

I worked out a simple solution. I edited the text on the confirm email and the related text on the site, to say the new subscription was working. I can then confirm the subscriptions manually in admin.

Any ideas on automating the confirmation part for admin? A line of php?

Can you tell me where the file is located to change the picture that is sent with the confirmation e-mail ? The current picture is the Engeltjes & Draken logo. I'd like to change it to my own.

Tell me what happens if you run this command in the sql patchtool which is available under tools:

UPDATE subscribers SET email_format = 'TEXT' WHERE email_address = '[email protected]';

do you get a green line that says succesfully processed or do you get an error?

Thanks, nagelkruid. I get a green line. Also, I know that the db_prefix is correct. (BTW, The original symptom of this problem was that all the items in the subscribe sidebox where filled with the constant names and thus ALL CAPS. Part of the reason I suspect the define pages.)

In case this tidbit got lost in the thread, the module did work fine for me for several months. It probably failed when I added a whole slew of define page.

Thanks again for any ideas! Until this is solved Amazon is getting all my client's profits.

Depending on your browser or email client:
Try right clicking the image in question and select view image, the path to the image will become visible in the address bar. A simple trick to locate the path to any image.

Firefox is a great browser to use for developing, if you don't already have it. Free to download.

O dear,
feels like a little red ears moment here
the logo is only added in the html email so check the email_template_newsletter_subscription.html in your email folder.
I wonder how it resolves to loading our logo though, it should load whatever you have in email/header.jpg but when that is missing, you could see our alt tag, as that seems to be hardcoded in there, sorry

Yeah, the green line tells us few good things:
1. your table prefix is correct
2. the table subscribers exists

I support the idea that the ALL CAPS does indicate there may be a problem with your define pages, or the contents of it.
