Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

Well, I am very embarrassed - that's exactly what it was - doh!!!

Many thanks for taking the time to respond - just another demonstration as to the strength of Zencart.

Many thanks pensive612

Kind regards,

H

I've had 2.05 installed on my 1.3.0.2 Zen cart, and am having an interesting problem: I can't unsubscribe people! If you click delete on a name in the admin, it will ask the verification 'do you want to delete?', and when you click 'yes', it goes back to the full list, but if you search, the user is still there, and not deleted.

I am running EasyPopulate and Imagehandler2 as well.

Thanks, both for any help, and for a great contribution!

After install 2.0.6, it seems everthing fine, except

1. on "enter email address" field press enter, it'll show error message and code. How to not show the code ?
2. Newsletter unsubscribe : can remove non existing e-mail address.

Thank you

I am still having to remove unsubscribes manually via PhpMyAdmin. Any insight into why the Zen-cart admin cannot use the remove tool to take people out of this package?

I'm doing a full run-through tonight of this for 1.3.7 so I'll make sure it's working there. If not, I'll fix it...if it is, I'll see if I can find a copy of the cart closer to yours to see if some functionality it's using was added between 1.3.0 and 1.3.5.

(I'll have a 1.3.7 release out this weekend, maybe sooner, but can't promise)

sambinomio:

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-

Same problem as sambinomio, trying to get NS in the header. I tried all of the above to no avail :down: (except placing yourtemplate/common/tpl_header.php into to template_default)

Hello.

This mod looks like it might be exactly what I need. I have a pre installation question...

In the readme it says you will get Under 'Configuration -> E-mail Options'

Newsletter Subscribers
Customer Account Newsletter Subscribers
Newsletter-only Subscribers

Does this mean you can send to all subscribers, account subscribers only, or newsletter-only subscribers only?

I'm looking for something that I can send to all at once with.

Also, if you use the email export mod, does that require 2 exports, one from the "email only" group and one from the "accounts" group? Or is that one export.

Thanks.

Yes, you can send to one group or the other, or both. If by 'all' you mean all folks subscribing, the answer is 'yes'.

The email exporter allows you to select the audience you wish to export. So you can do all of the above, select newsletter-only subscriber, account-only or both together. (note: it's been a while since I've actively used this, but a quick check of the file seems to confirm this. ymmv).

Hi -Ng_,

Looking to try out your mod and was wondering if the ZC V3.1.7 version been released as yet?

Many Thanks :)

I've got two folks who are kindly doing proofs for me-they reported back a couple bugs I missed and am working on those now.

Hi Notgoddess,

Sorry to introduce an other problem with Newsletter-only on my site: https://www.mindex.be/anatest

When entering an address in the sidebox there is the following error:

Is your email address correct? It should contain at least 1 characters. Please try again.

The customer receives the confirmation mail and in the admin the mail is added.

Changing the values in Minimum Values doesn't seems to help.

I hope it isn't to much trouble to solve this problem.

Hi,
Has anybody tested this on version 1.3.7?

I want to install it , but I'm afraid!

To the best of my knowledge the current version doesn't work with ZC 1.3.7. That's unless a new version of the Newsletter-only has come out within the past week or so.

is there any other way of collecting email addresses for the newsletter?

Well, you do normally get the customer's email address when they place an order, and you can have others who just wnat the newsletter to email you. I'm assuming your web host offers a mailing list service that you can use to send out the newsletter. This is the direction I may be going in after I learned that ever since I installed the newsletter mod I can't email my customers via ZC if they haven't subscribed to the newsletter. :schmoll:

I've finished up a version that is compatible with Zen Cart v1.3.7. If anyone is interested in testing before I release it, please PM me for a copy.

The latest version, as far as I know, already works for me on 1.3.7........!

To the best of my knowledge, the latest version will work on 1.3.7, but there are, unfortunately, a lot of modified core files in this particular contribution, and they weren't addressed in the last one. It was basically a bugfix to patch the issue with the dropdown on the Create Account page. This one has the modifications patched directly into the new 1.3.7 files.

Okay, I've tested it out, and it works... mostly. There seems to be some sort of issue with the unsubscribe page. When the customer unsubscribes, they ARE removed from the database, but instead of going to a page to verify that they have unsubscribed, I got this error:

1065 Query was empty
in:
[]

Anyone ever seen this before? And if so, any idea where the problem may lie? The url that generated the error was at /index.php?action=unsubscribe&main_page=unsubscribe&addr=test%40test.com&x=47&y=9

If you want to try it yourself, the demo is at http://www.parrishwebdesign.com/~pwdzen/.

Hi,
Im guessing there is some error in an unsubscribe module!

I've signed up to the newsletter on your test site. Can u send me a sample newsletter so i can try unsubscribing.
