Thank you for that suggestion. I can normally figure out a way to do the open window via javascript, just didn't know what/how to pull the results into it, so that was helpful!! Designer here, and not a programmer, so those code things will always challenge me.

I just installed and 'somewhat' customized my first xcart, and love the functionality it can have. Adding the cart to an existing site (a redo for SEO purposes) had it's own set of challenges- hence needing that open window thing for the newsletter signup off the cart.
And nice to see a "neighbour" on the list, too!

I modified the shopcart/skin1/news.tpl to this version below:

<TABLE>
<FORM action="{$xcart_web_dir}/mail/subscribe.php" name="subscribeform">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{$redirect}">
<TR>
{if $usertype eq "C"}
<TD class="VertMenuItems">To subscribe to the newsletter, enter your email address and click "Subscribe".

{$lng.lbl_your_email}
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 3px;">
</FONT><INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="16">
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 5px;">
</FONT><FONT class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_subscribe}</FONT> <INPUT type="image" {include file="buttons/go_image.tpl" full_url='Y'}>

<TD class="VertMenuItems">To be removed from our newsletter subscription, type in your email address and then click "Unsubscribe".

Just to let you know that if this is on the main page to the left, no one can register as a new user !!!!!!!

You have to delete the unsubscribed section as the field it uses "email" is used for the register of an account.

So here is the version with unsubscribed deleted.

<TABLE>
<FORM action="{$xcart_web_dir}/mail/subscribe.php" name="subscribeform">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{$redirect}">
<TR>
{if $usertype eq "C"}
<TD class="VertMenuItems">To subscribe to the newsletter, enter your email address and click "Subscribe".

{$lng.lbl_your_email}
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 3px;">
</FONT><INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="16">
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 5px;">
</FONT><FONT class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_subscribe}</FONT> <INPUT type="image" {include file="buttons/go_image.tpl" full_url='Y'}>

In case anyone is having trouble with the above code, here is an unsubscribe static page that works for 4.0.18:

<form action="mail/unsubscribe.php" method="post" name="unsubscribeform"> 
<table><tr><td><input type="text" name="email" size="40"></td><td>{include file="buttons/button.tpl" type="input" style="button" button_title="unsubscribe" href="javascript:document.unsubscribeform.submit()"}</td></tr></table>
<input type=hidden name=redirect value="{$redirect}">
</form>

Hi,

I could be being dim, but in x-cart gold 4.1.6 there is no subscribe.php in /mail. I have only index.php and unsubscribe.php in /mail.

Since subscribe.php is being referenced from news.tpl, I cannot get this to work. I thought I might not have uploaded subscribe.php when I installed, so I checked my original 4.1.6 distribution. No subscribe.php in there either.

Does any one have any ideas as to where my subscribe.php file is?

thank you for your time and your help,

n00bert

any more progress on this?

i'd love to just use a simple subscribe/unsubscribe instead of the whole new thing. i didn't find subscribe.php, but in modules, subscriptions, is subscription.php not sure if its of any help.

if anyone managed to get this working, post some final code for 1.6 and above.

thanks,

[DataViking]

i'm also looking tosee how I can have a static subscription newsletter page in 4.1.7

We use this successfully on static pages:

I am like everyone else. 4.1.x has NO subscribe.php. This prevents being able to use this code, which I have on EVERY page of my website. I wonder if I could upload my 4.0.19 subscribe.php file there??? I will try it and let you know what happened.

[connemara]

Did you find a solution to this?
I had such a nice subscribe form on static popup page from outside the cart on 4.0.8 version and with updated 4.1.9 can't seem to create proper static page from within the cart. Would love to know if adding the subscribe.php helped.
