Newsletter Subscriber Discount

Fair enough. I notice that the decision as to order status is made under Admin > GV Coupons > Default Order Status For Zero Balance Orders. Perhaps there is a way to have a default module for zero balance orders as well.

I will ask the gurus elsewhere on this forum if they know the answer and if I find out anything, I'll link back to it here.

Thank you for your help with your plugin,

Alex

Newsletter Discount 1.3 is now available in the download area with a fix to the problem reported by Alex. This only affects people who are as generous as he is :) offering 100% discounts and payment by PayPal IPN.

I just installed this module for a client of mine and we're running into an issue. When we setup the Newsletter Discount module to give discounts to Zen Cart newsletter subscribers, the module works great! However, if we change the module to give discounts to MailChimp subscribers the module doesn't recognize us as subscribers and we see no discount.

The user/pass for MailChimp is set up properly, what do you think is causing the error?

Have you checked your lists in MailChimp to ensure that the corresponding email addresses are in fact subscribers?

swguy, yes they are all subscribers. Do we need to install your MailChimp sidebox module for it to work? At this point we have pasted a MailChimp sign-up form on it's own page on our site.

The Newsletter Discount module contains an older version of the MailChimp API; if you are using MailChimp your discounts are not working, please download the new MCAPI.class.php file from the MailChimp downloads page. You want the PHP 4/5 API wrapper. Install the file in includes/classes/MCAPI.class.php.

The MailChimp downloads page is at
http://www.mailchimp.com/api/downloads/

A future version of this contribution will include an updated API. If you are running MC360, you already have an updated API.

Hello Software Guy,

I have been racking my brain on this and can't figure it out. I have the module installed and it's great. The problem i'm having is that it is giving the newsletter discount to everyone, even non-subscribed customers. Any ideas?

First I want to say this newsletter discount mod is great! I've also implemented the SMS On Sale mod and it has come in very handy for my merchant client as well. However, I'm having an intermittent issue w/Newsletter Discount. Every so often an order comes through where the discount % amount is ADDED instead of subtracted from the order subtotal. It just happened on the last order that came through my client's cart. I have not been able to reproduce the problem when sending test orders. This is something that just out of the blue occurs every few orders. All I did was upload the mod and set a 10% discount in the admin panel. What's going on?

UPDATE: We just discovered that the discount is ADDED when the order changes status from "Pending" to "Processing" - I'm depending on an employee that does data entry and handles the orders to report back to me whenever there are issues, and she just noticed that today when manually fixing one of these orders. So I changed the status of a test order I entered and lo and behold the discount was no longer subtracted but ADDED to my subtotal. How can we resolve this?

I'll take a look at it.

Let me know if you need more info...

I'm using Admin->Customers->Orders to change the order status and not seeing a change to the discount.

Hmmm, interesting. You should be familiar with me, I got you to do a custom store pickup only mod for a pet store. The mod works great BTW and they're very happy. I installed SMS On Sale and Newsletter Discount to the same store. This same store is the one having issues with Newsletter Discount adding the percentage when order status is changed. I've installed a number of mods in this cart, I'll post a list of them b/c maybe a mod is interfering w/the way this one works, but right now I need to catch up on another pressing project.

I have the same problem when using edit orders, but the newsletter and better together discount both become added not subtracted, and I have to make sure I and the minus sign in everytime before saving

Have installed on v1.3.7 and all appeared ok, but I have discovered that the discount is being aplied to ALL registered customers regardless of whether they are a subscribers or not?

I am using the native newsletter module within zencart v1.3.7.

Any tlps / pointers appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Chris

Hi,

I am using ZC v1.38a and have just installed the Newsletter Discount. Thank you for this great mod!

I am interested in modifying it so that the discount is NOT applied if a coupon is used. I would like all subscribers to get the discount but if a coupon is successfully applied I would like the newsletter discount to says something like "Cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount"...

I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction to get started? Off the top of your head would this require alot of changes? Would I be able to create a user exit function for this?

Any help on this subject is greatly appreciated.

Response by PM.

Hi swguy, quick question?

I have the basic newsletter mod installed, but I like yours, with the discount option.

If I install your newsletter discount mod, would that automatically override the basic newsletter mod that I have on there already or do I need to uninstall it first?

I don't really know anything about the basic newsletter mod so I can't really say.

I figured this out fairly quickly. Just add:

   if ($_SESSION['cc_id'] > 0) { 
         return; 
   }

to function process() in ot_newsletter_discount.php...

Before coupon is applied:

After any coupon is applied:
