MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

woops, meant signup form not contact form :)

Hi, the support thread for this module seems to be kinda dead .... so appologies for starting a new thread.

I have downloaded the mailchimp integration module and installed it fine.

It works with passing the email address through the sidebox and the sign up form ...... but im also wanting to pass the first and last name to mailchimp aswel.

The documentation doesnt really help when wanting to do this, it just says 'you will need to mod the files'

...... i have tried changing the files but havnt had any luck in getting it to work.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

In hope and many Thanks
Scott

Support for this module is not dead; I just can't take the time to show you how to write code on the forum. It's time consuming enough just to support basic use of mods.

I understand that its time consuming but im not the only person who has been stumped by this.

Just a little indication of which files need to be changed would have sufficed

Hi I have installed the mod fine but I'm also getting the famous MailChimp page not found when trying to enter an email address at the sidebox. I know all my API Key, ID and U are accurate - the important bit of my mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php page looks thus:

// Newsletter ID - IMPORTANT! You must use your own id, userid and api key
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_ID','43c0302');
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_U','9b3b1ee2c2b97694efa20');
define('BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_API_KEY','a5dcc3883c***52ec5b61efa2a4a4d43-us2');

I cannot for the life of me understand what's wrong can someone please help.

I'm going to do an install this weekend and review all the instructions. Please be patient.

Pablo,

It may be an issue that another poster referred to earlier in the thread ....

Take a look at post #78 on page 8 ...... this was one of the issues that i came up against ....

Hope it helps :)

The newer accounts follow this format:

$content .= '<form action="http://listname.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe

Go to the list/form code to see what you need.

Version 2.1 is now available in the download section. Please read the instructions carefully as new steps have been added.

We're using this add-on with two languages - English and Spanish. It works on the English side, but no email is sent when you join in the Spanish language. Any tips?

Did you replicate all language specific files in spanish too?

./includes/languages/spanish/extra_definitions/mailchimp_sidebox_defines.php

Yes, we did copy all the language files, and it didn't help! Any ideas? Does anyone else have this working in multiple languages?

swguy:

The MailChimp Newsletter Integration has been updated to allow customers to signup for your newsletter at account creation time. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY; there are a couple of new steps due to changes in the API. Note that if you are also running Newsletter Discounts for MailChimp, you must upgrade that module too.

This kicks rear-end - thanks!

One more cry for help regarding getting this add-on working for a shop that uses two languages - so far only English works for us, even though all files are uploaded in both languages.

Please post your URL.

Thank you!

Everything appears fine in both languages, but only the English signup gets the MailChimp confirmation email. Spanish is the cart's default language.

You don't have the sidebox turned on so I can't test that. Is there anything in the cache/MailChimp.log file?

We're only using it on the signup form. Here's what I see in the cache file:

Unable to load listSubscribe()!
Code=104
Msg=Invalid Mailchimp API Key: BOX_MAILCHIMP_NEWSLETTER_API_KEY . You are accessing the wrong datacenter - your client library may not properly support our datacenter mapping scheme.

I've checked and we're using the same API key in both english/espanol language folders.

Do we need a different API key for each language, or is this a problem with the add-on?

My client just reported that this is actually working in both languages - user error on our end; sorry!

I also get the page not found. I have checked all, read and re-read all direction, but the submit button takes me to the page not found. Any Ideas? site is https://www.willowcreekdecor.com, newsletter is bottom left(till I get it working). I have read the past post about this problem also and tried them.
