Newsletter-Only Subscriptions for v1.3x

jayson.gurney:

Is there a way to set the width of the newsletter subscribe box? When i view my test site using firefox its ok and is the same size as my other right hand boxes, BUT in IE its way larger - any ideas how to fix this?

Can you post or pm your website? If I see it I can tell if it's a keyed, styled, or IE problem and better propose a solution.

Hi, I have a problem with my zencart. When insert the email address in the box the browser send me an errror: "Error e-mail sending not success to "" with subject ""Please confirm Rigen Service newsletter subscription" SMTP Error: the recipient email generate this error..."

This is my site

http://www.rigenservice.it

Is in italian language. Can you help me?

Thanks a lot

That looks like an error in your smtp settings.
That error is generated from the mail class.

Are you able to send normal emails out? I've created an account on your site (email: sarazcATnotgoddess.com) -you can feel free to try to send test emails to me from ZenCart.

I just tested this using sendmail, smtp and smtpauth and the emails are going through, so I don't think it's the actual contrib itself. I'll be happy to help you as I can, though.

Ok, I have sended the email from the original panel of zen-cart and this function ok. I have installed the "newsletter Subscribe" v. 2.0.2

I have to config the email sending in this contrib?

No, you shouldn't have to....the newsletter confirmation uses the same functions to email as the welcome message, etc.

Although, you know I just noticed that I never received a 'Welcome' email from creating an account at your site. Can you try sending email to me from zencart?
On the customers page, click on my account and there's a button to 'email'.

(I was just heading to bed-but I'll try to stay up for a bit....it's awkward to do support when we are a world apart).

I have sended the email first. The message of zen-cart tell me thath the message is correctly sended.

Well I received the email from this forum thread...no email from you yet, although that might take a few minutes. Can you send one to yourself (or to another email address that you can check) ?

I have send the email to another my account. Not function!!! I think that I have a problem with my smtp account

If I send the email to my account of domain rigenservice.it this function

So within the domain it functions okay.

Yes, it is your smtp settings then.

Are you using regular smtp or smtpauth ?

I know I have to use smtpauth and set the username [[email protected]] and my password in order to send smtp mail.

I have set in smtp

Your ISP/host may require smtpauth Can you try that and send the email to your other account again to test?

Otherwise you can try using sendmail.

Yeeeessss. Ok I have just reapair my setting. Thank you. You are very very good. Excuse me for my english, I have only study at school.

Bye Bye

Wonderful! I'll sign up for your newsletter to test.

If you do an Italian translation of the contribution, I would love to have a copy to include in releases.

Of course!

In the contrib there is a problem for the alignment of the sideboxes elements. Have you the same problem?

You mean the 'html text-only lines?

Some people with table layouts had problems with the box being too big-there's a patch for that on my site until I get the next release out:
http://www.notgoddess.com/scripts/newsletter-subscribe#issues

But if you are talking about
HTML TESTO
solo

....you can edit that same file and insert a '<br />' in between the two radio buttons so you'll see:
HTML
TESTO solo

file: includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_subscribe.php

Like this: (lines 21-24)

   if(EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {
    $content .= '<label>' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true) . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>';
    $content .= '<br />';
    $content .= '<label>' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', false) . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>';
   }

I'll be off now...but hope that fixes it.

Hi NG,

Is there any way to notify admin when someone subscribes or when they unsubscribe? The original had an add on that allowed this but the new, and definitely improved version, has a totally different header_php and that was the file that needed to be altered.
Original thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18254&page=4&highlight=Newsletter
Also, is there any way to not have the customer need to confirm?

Thank you,
Kelly :smile:

Thanks for the link/suggestion.
I'll add it in & do a on/off config setting for it.
