MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

swguy:

This contribution has been updated to support API version 3.0. All other versions will be deprecated after 12/31/16 so please update!

In the new version, the 'class' folder is empty, no file. Is that correct? I've installed this but get a 500 error upon account creation. Just wondering if that's the reason.

Yes, I should remove the class folder; it's no longer used. 500 is an error on their side; not sure what happened.

Thanks for confirming about the folder. I'll have to look into the error then. Version 3 of your plugin works on the site but not 4.

I'm getting a 500 error with this installed on a vanilla 1.5.4 cart as well.

OK let me look again at the changes.

I tested it again and it looked good. Have you double checked the values you set in
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php

I did check the format of the page looking for missing quotes, etc. The same includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php works when I use the 3.0 version of the plugin.

I'm so sorry if I am missing something but I have tried FAQ and everything. Installed on zencart 1.55 https://www.thedragonskeep.net
So I have installed everything per directions.

including the link as define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_URL','http://thedragonskeep.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe/post'); in the extra defines file.

But when I type in an email address in sidebox I get a 404 and the link in browser is http://thedragonskeep.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe/post??u=2755a8ca12a7e7d1d4b645d1d&&id=ba6e8b302b with an extra ? if I delete the extra ? it loads my sign up form so I am confused.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please double check includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php (be sure it's the same as a copy from a fresh download) and be sure you don't have an includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php

OMG I finally got it to work thank you. I didn't have one in my template but must have had an old one from when I tried before in the template default. Thank you so much :-)

Just to confirm: You used the latest one, uploaded 23 Oct 16, which is based on MailChimp API version 3.0, correct?

Yes that is the one I used :-) It worked :-)

I know I am going to feel like a real dufus for asking this, because it is probably something I am doing wrong.... but is anyone else getting the dreaded blank white website and error logs as follows:

[27-Oct-2016 16:20:01 America/New_York] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in /home/xxxxxxxxxx/public_html/store/includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp_functions.php on line 5

[27-Oct-2016 16:20:42 America/New_York] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/xxxxxxxxxx/public_html/store/includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp.php on line 20

I am trying to update a site that currently has this mod installed... Am using the latest version in the downloads area on a 1.5.4 website.
The things I see different are:
includes/classes/MCAPI.class.php is removed
includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp_functions.php has been revised
includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp.php is a new file.

Appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Check /includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp_functions.php vs a fresh download.

Not sure what that means. Do I need to keep the "old" file there instead of putting up the one that is in the latest download?

To clarify..... I am using the file from the download area NOT the "old" file.

Compare the version of /includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp_functions.php on the server with a fresh copy from the plugin in the downloads section.

Hi Jim

I compared it, they are different. So I used the one from the downloads section instead of the "old" one that was on the server.

That's what blows up the website.

Judy, what version of PHP are you using?

swguy:

Judy, what version of PHP are you using?

PHP Version: 5.3.29 (Zend: 2.3.0) PHP Memory Limit: 128M
Database: MySQL 5.5.52-cll

That's your problem then. PHP 5.3 has been out of active support for several years now. You need to be at 5.6 or better.
