newsletter subscription module default to html

Hi,

I have the newsletter subscription module installed. great mod.

anyway, when I turn on Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails from Confirguration - > Email Otpions , two radio buttons appear. one for html option another for plain text.

I don't want to give the subscriber the option. I want them to automatically sign up to the html - you can see the style problem im having with this because I dont have enough room for those check boxes.

Did you figure out how to do this? I'd like to do the same.

I tried setting it to html default here: Admin->Configuration->Customer Details->Customer Default Email Preference

On tpl_subscribe.php I commented out

 //  if(EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {
 //   $content .= ' <br /> <label>' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'HTML', true) . ENTRY_EMAIL_HTML_DISPLAY . '</label>';
   // $content .= ' <label style="white-space:nowrap">' . zen_draw_radio_field('email_format', 'TEXT', false) . ENTRY_EMAIL_TEXT_DISPLAY . '</label>';
  // }

The radio bullet options no longer show on the sidebox like I want, but the user is subscribed as text instead of html.

If you want to force the client to use HTML then the easiest way to do it is to modify includes/modules/pages/subscribe/header_php.php. Simply comment out the $email_format = line and put a new one afterwards:

$email_format = 'HTML';

That will default everybody who signs up using the sidebox to HTML.

I have commented out the line you suggested, but it has not worked. Have I missed something?

Dont' know if you got an answer to this, found it in another post :)

Force default for html emails on customer registration **Admiin - Configuration - Customer Details - Customer Default Email Preference

Thanks for that Red. Its not quite what I was after, but it solved another problem I hadn't researched yet :smile:

As far as the room....why don't you simply add a break (<br />) to put them on their own line?

Some customers do not want html, and that is why there is a choice. I wonder how many people won't sign up for just that reason.:smile:

If you set these two options you are not removing the "text" field but you are having the box automatically checked html instead of text. :)

Config->Customer Detail-> Show newsletter checkbox-> set to 2

then

Config->Customer Detail-> Customer Default Email Preference-> set to 1

This way like said above you wont loose sign ups due to someone wanting Text.

If you're referring to the newsletter subscription add-on, then open:
includes/modules/pages/subscribe/header_php.php and change this line:

$email_format = empty($_POST['email_format']) ? 'TEXT' : $_POST['email_format'];

to this:

$email_format = empty($_POST['email_format']) ? 'HTML' : $_POST['email_format'];

Worked for me...

Yay! Thank you so much for this information.
I understand the argument about text being safer to an unknown audience but for small luxury boutiques, NOT sending html when appearance is an important factor is an equal danger these days. Also, most devices are getting smart enough to deal with html content. Between this and the post about setting gift certificate emails to html I am making progress with being able to do whatever I need with Zen Cart.
