MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

Seems I've done something strange to my mailchimp setup and I'm not sure what is causing the issue. Has anyone else seen the sign up form begin failing in what seems to be all versions of my FAVORITE browser Internet Explorer.

Did you resolve the issue? I subscribed and unsubscribed using IE9 and it worked fine.

Is there a way to change the default "Signup for our Mailing List" on the OCST page to something else? Ideally, I'd like it to say something like "Signup to receive discounts and special offers"

Just started with MailChimp but am really loving it so far :-)

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

Yes. Under Advanced Settings link find the Checkbox HTML textarea. This contains the HTML that gets output to the page on OCST. You can change this to whatever you like

<div class="mailchimp">
  <div id="checkbox">
    <input name="newsletter" type="checkbox" value="subscribe" id="newsletter_checkbox" />
    <span> Signup for our Mailing List</span>
	 <div id="checkbox_message" ></div>
  </div>
</div>

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

Another question: I'm trying to use one of the Design Variations. I copy and pasted the CSS Stylesheet and Textbox HTML where they should go, but I can't figure out where to upload the images to. The documentations says they should be FTP'd to: \mm5\images, but my CSSUI store doesn't have that configuration. I have \mm5\graphics, but that has a bunch of different subfolders in there. I'm not sure where I have to FTP the images so Mailchimp will find them...

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

if you don't have a mm5/images folder you can just create an images folder inside the mm5 folder.

They don't have to go there, but that is where the CSS is looking for them so it is the easiest configuration.

Perfect, thanks again!

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

I haven't tested having it checked by default, but Im not sure it would work even if you modified the template. The actual add is done on check (remove is done on uncheck).

If it is a feature people want I can probably add it into the core module so you can choose via the admin.

Any word on adding this feature? I know a few others were asking about it and I would definitely love to see it added.

I am looking at mailchimp, is it still free now or it is a subscription service based on # of subscriber?

Both. It's free up to a certain list size, but it's been this way for years.

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

I successfully added the mailchimp checkbox to a client's site on the OCST page. I would like to add it to our mobile version of the page as well. I attempted to add it, but when trying to click Continue on that page in mobile we get an error of "One or more required fields were not filled out correctly" The email does get added to the list, but the customer can't check out. Any ideas?

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

If you can Private Message me temp access to the admin I can login and take a look.

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

Also, is it possible to add the checkbox to the Account Create and Account Edit pages?

[Brennan]

Re: MailChimp Module Support and Troubleshooting

Yeah that is possible. You should be able to follow the same instructions for setup on the OCST page. As long as the right ids for first name, last name and email are on the page it should just work.
