Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

Hey everybody,

Everything seems to be working great. but, I need to remove the text "Enter your email address to subscribe...." altogether. I changed it to blank in the defines. however, on Firefox, Safari, and IE for PC. the spacing behavior was different on each. (surprise!)

Can anyone tell me how to remove that section from the code entirely. so there's no space between the header and the subscribeContent?

thanks so much in advance...

Edit the template file found in templates/yourtemplate/sideboxes/tpl_subscribe.php
It's already set to display an empty string if no text, but on the next line (just before the zen_draw_input_field there's a space, then no-breaking space that may be causing issues for you.

i do believe, that was the exact problem.

thanks NG... :)

Oh NG. I hope this is the last time I have to bother you...

So I've replaced the create_account.php and the customers.php you supplied.

and that part now works great. (been an all day affair for me)

now lastly, I'm getting that "Is your email address correct? It should contain...." error.

I believe its my SEO URLs because when i turn the off, i don't get that. do you know of a way to have my cake and eat it too? my customers want both...

thanks in advance....

Does anyone have a version of this (they could share) that captures name as well as email addy?
My current mailing list software outside Zencart) enables me to send out personalised newsletters, but since name is not captured in this contrib, I have a problem. I'd like to migrate my mailing lists inside Zencart to save the additional maintenance.

Thanks in advance.

I followed all the steps in the readme.txt comming with the extension.

Every step gave me the expected results, but when I insert the final code

   if(defined('NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED') &&
      (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED=='true') &&
      (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_HEADER=='true')) {
       include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE_HEADER));
   }

my front page displays stops at the point I put my code.

I would appreciate your advice.

Well i know you did the install in admin or it would stop and not error out at the firs 'defined' check, so I'd say to make sure that modules/yourtemplate/subscibe_header.php is in place.

I've found sometimes working with a custom template you have to copy more than just the header file to the common folder-make sure you have main page template, etc in there.

also, you might try copying the subscribe_header.php file so it is in both modules/subscribe_header.php and modules/yourtemplate/subscribe_header.php

repeat for the tpl_ file (put a copy in template_default as well)

apologies for typos-

Thank you very much for your quick :yes: answer, this morning I followed your advices and
it seems that it works now : suddenly I saw in admin that a part of the path of my sidebox :

"sideboxes/my_template/subscribe.php"

became red...

When I activated my sidebox I can see it in left side. I wanted it in the header... I don't know if it's because I copied files the way you told me that now it's available in left side. I continue trying to understand.

Now I tried to subscribe and I receive the following error message.

"ERROR: Failed sending email to: "" with subject: "Please confirm bonaparto newsletter subscription" Could not instantiate mail function."

Is it maybe something related with smtp config ?

Thank

well... sorry... I talked too quickly... I still have the same problem when adding the code :

  <?php 
  // BEGIN newsletter_subscribe mod 1/1
   if(defined('NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED') &&
      (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_ENABLED=='true') &&
      (NEWSONLY_SUBSCRIPTION_HEADER=='true')) {
       include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_SUBSCRIBE_HEADER));
   }
  // END newsletter_subscribe mod 1/1    
  ?>

My page stops displaying...

:schmoll:

I really don't know what I did wrong...

I installed the newest version. I am able to subscribe using the sidebox and everything seems to work for this. However, when I try to subscribe with no email or the same email, the error message appears, but the rest of the page does not load. Can anyone help? https://style-scene.com/shop

Thanks for such a practical and great mod. I wish I understood php more!:blink:

I was wondering if I can add the newsletter sidebox to a regular html page - the homepage of the site, which isn't a zencart page - so that the emails populate to the same table with new email addresses. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for the help! :D

Figured it out! Disregard last post by me - I would delete it but can't see to figure out how to. Doh!

Is there a way to export the emails into another file - like excel or csv or something? Thanks!

Hi!

but all the rest is working fine it seems.
( confirmation mail is send, emailadres is added to the newsletter only list et cet ... )

Hi!!
I'd like to change the title of the newsletter-only box with an image, but I don't know how to do that!

I changed all the titles of my sideboxs using english.php but it doesn't seems to work for the newsletter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :wink2:

thank you!!!

Hi - I have the contribution installed, but I get a page not found error every time I try to add an email address from the sidebox. I'm not sure what I'm missing?

Ok...I have a question....
All newsletter only subscibers are only receiving text emails no matter what the settings are. I have html setup for the store and the subsciber receiving html, but only actual customers receive html, not subscibers only.
What am I doing wrong....using version 2.05 on 1.3.6 cart.

Sorry if this was already answers, I read through all these pages, and could not find the answer.
Thanks

Hi. I am trying to send out a newsletter to everyone who has subscribed ie:

1. those who signed up using the Newsletter Only Subscription; and
2. those who registered as a customer (ie created a customer account) and ticked the newsletter subscribe box.

The problem I have is that only those people who signed up using the Newsletter Only Subscription appear on my:

• Subscription Management page; and
• Newsletter and Product Notifications Manager.

I am therefore unable to send a newsletter using the Newsletter and Product Notifications Manager to customers who have created an account and ticked the newsletter subscribe box. I've tried adding their email addresses using the "New Subscription" tool on the Subscription Management page but it says that it cannot add the address as it is already registered to a customer.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and would REALLY appreciate it if someone can help me!

Thanks :smile:

Hi all,

I am trying to install this great mod which appears to be working fine accept the text.

When I enter an e-mail address and the sucscribe page comes up I get the following:

Thank you for taking a moment to subscribe to our Newsletter.

You'll receive notices of newly available products, special offers, and news of upcoming showings.

TEXT_INFORMATION_CONFIRM

Then the e-mails I get have no text at all, they show the following:

EMAIL_WELCOME
EMAIL_TEXT
EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_TEXT
EMAIL_CONTACT
EMAIL_CLOSURE

I have replaced all the files a couple of times and reinstalled the mod but nothing works. Has anyone any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

BigMacYin,

My guess is that you might be missing a YOUR_TEMPLATE in the language folder. follow the folders all the way and make sure you caught all the overrides NG has thoughtfully added... there are 3 of them in the languages folder. Just rename them with your Template name.

i think those defines are in the subscribe_confirm.php file if i'm not mistaken.

hope that helps.
