MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox

Not sure if this question fits here, I have installed the contrib, it works wonderfully well. (thank you swguy for the great contrib)

1. I have edited and remove the 'newsletter' url when logon in My Account (so that it doesn't show option for customers to edit, since it won't remove the subscription/or add to Mail Chimp list)

2. Disabled the 'unsubscribe' url - all newsletter activities should be managed in Mail Chimp now

3. Edited and updated the Privacy Policy as suggested by swguy in the readme file; to include a unsubscribe link (get from mail chimp setting) in the page - in place of the default unsubscribe url

Question..
How do I disallow the text/html option in the account creation page? This information also appears in account_edit page.

Appreciate any help.

You shouldn't do this.

is this compatible for v1.5

I have installed the Mail Chimp and followed all the instructions from as far as I can tell. The sidebox subscribe works but when making a new user I get an error when i hit submit. The error is below.

Email Error: Could not execute: /usr/sbin/sendmail

When you hit back from there the user has been created and you are logged in but. It seems the new user is getting signed up but I of course dont want to have this error page.
Any ideas?

@bkeaton - yes.
@sportrecovery - goto admin->configuration->e-mail options and choose an email option that works.

Thanks SWGuy, turns out the Mod was fine it was our host server playing up. both our shops as it turns out didnt get an order confiratoin for 5 days but on looking at the shop admin we had a heap of orders. I am awaiting their response as to what they did.

Hi Scott, I installed this and almost ready to go BUT I can't do the insertion of code on the "create an account" file because I'm using FEC and I don't find ANY line of code as stated on your installation instructions. I tried several words or phrases given by you but nothing. :blink:

Please advise where I'm supposed to insert the code.... (I can post here the file code if you need me to).

Please do as I have FEC also and can not seem to get this to work.
Thanks, Kim

FEC users - you're going to have to hire someone to do this work for you; I can't do this level of detailed integration with multiple mods for free on the forum.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great mod swguy, installed and working like a charm on my zc 1.5 and free mailchimp account :)

Hello,
great mod!
Does anyone know how to put the subscribe form in the header instead of in a sidebox?

Those mischevious chimps are up to their usual tricks. Please do NOT update to MailChimp API 1.3 on your own; Newsletter Discount AND MailChimp Integration will need updates first. When you do update, both modules need to be updated at the same time; API 1.3 contains breaking changes (wrt existing code).

The MailChimp integration has been updated to MailChimp API 1.3.

Hi, this is a great mod thank you for your continued support as well. I was wondering if it's possible to tweak the layout of the form. I would like to have just the "Email Address" heading, text box and submit button visible. I'm hoping to run it either on the top or bottom of my site. I'm tweaking the css properties to achieve this with a side box. I' not sure if there's a better way but any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Try moving it to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

Thank you for the suggestion swguy but I don't see any change at all when I place it there.:blink:

Look at what your embed code is

Took me a few minutes to find it. :)

ahem, have problem with the sidebox working fine but the create account form does not. Nothing is getting to mail chimp: The mailchimp log file says Unable to load listSubscribe()!
Code=250
Msg=FNAME must be provided - Please enter a value

I could have sworn I did this correctly. What in the world did I screw up?

Has anyone figured out how to add a join groups checkbox? I am working on it, but could sure use some help...

(Am happy to hire it out too...)

Thanks!
