MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

Thanx Frank18
I got em all taken care of.
Sidebox works just fine

Thanks so much for taking care of her! I knew nothing at the time of my initial post that there was a way to update the PHP within the cPanel. The site is now running like a top - instead of churning away, the MailChimp sidebox works great and I can now go buy some Clairol and "wash that gray right out of my hair" and move on! :D

I truly did not mean any offense to you or anyone else on this matter. I am NOT that person.... and I apologize effusively for anything that I said (including the part about the gray hair) that might have offended you.

Thanks again for taking care of her!

I'm having a problem. Installed version 4 on a Zen Cart 1.5.5a. PHP 5.6.

When creating an account and checking the subscribe box, I get a 500 server error. Log shows:

[03-Nov-2016 21:08:23 America/Chicago] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'MailChimpException' with message 'Parameters not set on MailChimp::list_add_subscriber' in /home/chocolateshoppe/public_html/zencart/includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp.php:87

The site template has a MailChimp subscribe option for the footer. It works but does not use an API, to the post, U and ID values work and the MailChimp account work (it was created today, so thinking it might take some time before it's fully active).

The sidebox subscribe works.

Thanks for this report, Jim. I will check.

Fixed - please update.

swguy:

Fixed - please update.

Cool, thank you! The downloads has the old 4.0a. Should I check back later?

4.0a is the update. I fixed it in place.

swguy:

4.0a is the update. I fixed it in place.

Very good, I'll try it now.

swguy:

4.0a is the update. I fixed it in place.

Bingo! Thanks for the fix.

Is anything needed for the update besides just copying the files over?

Please follow the instructions in the mod installation package.

I wasn't specific enough, I guess. I've already made all the changes that the Mailchimp integration package calls for. What I'm asking is whether there are other changes needed by the mod.

I'm getting an error on one site (not on my server where there's no problem)
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/includes/functions/extra_functions/mailchimp.php on line 20

In dreamweaver, it also claims that line is a problem. The server where it's a fatal error is running 5.5.30 whereas my server is running 5.5.29.

Any ideas?

Line 20 of that file is using newer PHP syntax, not compatible with your old PHP version.
You'll need to change it from

$domain = explode('-', $api_key)[1];

to something like:

$var = explode('-', $api_key);
$domain=$var[1];

Will that work on lower php levels as well?

Yes. What I wrote above will work with PHP 5

It then objects to the brackets in line 26
private function _execute_request($method, $endpoint, Array $payload = [])

Sigh. ya. Having the keyword "Array" in the function declaration isn't allowed in older PHP versions.

Change "Array $payload" to just "$payload".

Probably more issues after that too. /me punts to swguy ...
