constant contact sidebox signup form

Hi ya :)

I installed this addon today, uploaded the files:

includes / languages / english / extra_definitions / constant_contact_sidebox_defines.php

includes / modules / sideboxes / constant_contact_sidebox.php

includes / templates / mytemplate / sideboxes / tpl_constant_contact_sidebox.php

Installed the SQL Patch and then added the html code, enabled it, and then turned it on in Layout Boxes Controller.

All the product is now gone. :( it comes back when I turn this off, but I would like to use it. Any idea's on how to get this to work?

Sounds like an error in one of the sidebox files or the extra file that you added ...

If you look in the /cache directory, do you see any debug logs?

NOTE: if you do not have v1.3.9, which has the Debug Tool built in, then you can download it from the Free Software Add Ons by searching for:
Debug Tool

and then trigger the error and it should generate a debug log file to help you locate it ...

That's awesome! Was able to figure it out and get it working! Thanks!

Now the only thing is I am getting a link above it.

Your Heading Here
[more]

I was able to take out the "Your Header Here" by editing the constant_contact_sidebox_defines.php.

Not sure how to remove the [more] link. This link will also take you to the reviews.

Ok, so I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, but how do I get the constant contact generated code? From my account within constant contact? Or is this something I can generate from within the ZC admin? I can't seem to find anything in my CC account that would generate any type of code. Thanks for your help.

I'm glad to say that all of our business email addresses ban all incoming mail from "Constant Contact", who are one of the worst generators of spam we've come across.

So you have an answer to the question or were you just chiming in with an opinion?

Vger is warning you that CC may not be the best choice of email service providers, since they "Constantly Contact" everyone. :)

Not an opinion - a fact. But for futher information I'd recommend either Mail Chimp or Campaign Monitor for managing mail-outs. They are responsible outfits that don't tolerate spamming and provide a very good service to the site owner.

okay i installed the constant contact add on and the add on is not showing up under the configuration in admin what can i do about this

Perhaps you didn't run the SQL script which comes with the contribution? BTW there's a bug in that script; if it's the first time you're running it, delete the 2 lines that start with DELETE FROM ...

Then run the script using admin->tools->Install SQL Patches

We use CC and have had good results, the first time I sent an email which happened to have 5,000 emails I was only allowed 1 spam report per 1,000 emails and I got 8 which shut me down. These were my on-line customers, not emails I collected. Over the last 18 months I can send a 5K email and get no spam reports or I can send 300 emails and get 2 or more spam reports and CC will suspend your account until you call in and get the talk. It has worked for us, remove any googlecheckout.com emails and all .gov, .fbi, .edu if you sell them as they are most likely blocking the service anyway. Any third party checkout services need to be removed, the reason is that buyer has no way to easily remove his email as his account is with the third party and not your site. Overall CC has worked for us and is worth the $50 a month.
