I can't find where to turn off Newsletter Signup?

I know the setting is got to be somewhere. I looked in the manual and searched all forums but no luck.

Can someone put me out of my misery?

thanks, Brian Kilpatrick

Hi,

You could just remove it from the templates. I don't think an option to turn it off exists, but I could be wrong.

ATKOgirl you have answered 2 of my posts today, thankyou!

Must be that East Coast nice people thing.

I'm in Los Angeles CA now but I'm from Milford CT.

Thanks again

AtomicFuze,

Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm CT born and bred, so it's always nice to hear from other CT'ers around the country.

BTW: My favorite non-clothing store is the Christmas Tree store in Orange, CT on the Milford line. I don't know the last time you were in Milford, but the Post Road has really turned into Retail Central with tons of huge stores!

modify /skin1/customer/home.tpl
Add the if statement:

{if $conf.news_show}
{ include file="news.tpl" }
{/if}

INSERT INTO xcart_config VALUES ('news_show', 'Show News', 'N', 'Modules', 11, 'checkbox');

Now you can turn the news on/off from the General/Modules screen.

does this have to be executed on SQL database?

INSERT INTO xcart_config VALUES ('news_show', 'Show News', 'N', 'Modules', 11, 'checkbox');

ok, got the database part but where do I insert the if statement code? Here is my home.tpl:

Code:

{* $Id: home.tpl,v 1.7 2003/04/11 05:05:27 svowl Exp $ *}
{ config_load file="$skin_config" }
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to Ely Mall.
{if $main eq "catalog"}
 - Home
{elseif $main eq "help"}
 - Help section
{elseif $main eq "cart"}
 - Your Shopping Cart
{elseif $main eq "checkout"}
 - Checkout
{elseif $main eq "order_message"}
 - Thank you for your order
{/if}
</title>
{ include file="meta.tpl" }
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$SkinDir}/{#CSSFile#}">
</head>
<body LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 RIGHTMARGIN=0 BOTTOMMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
{ include file="rectangle_top.tpl" }
{ include file="head.tpl" }

<table border=0 width="760" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center">
<tr>
<td class=VertMenuBox width=150 valign=top>
{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu eq "Y"}
{ include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne "" or $active_modules.Product_Configurator ne ""}
{ include file="customer/special.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $login eq "" }
{ include file="auth.tpl" }
{else}
{ include file="menu_profile.tpl" }
{/if}


{ include file="customer/menu_cart.tpl" }
{if $login eq "" }
{ include file="news.tpl" }
{else}
{ include file="authbox.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Interneka ne ""}
{ include file="modules/Interneka/menu_interneka.tpl" }

I've been thinking about getting rid of the newsletter. Not being able to view subscribers from admin makes the newsletter kinda useless. I'll let you know if I figure out how to get rid of it.
