How to turn on the 'Newsletter' option when create_account.php is loaded?

[count1to3]

Hi!

 

I got a question about how to turn on the 'Newsletter' option when create_account.php is loaded?

 

Thanks in advanced.

Find this in admin/includes/modules/newletters/html_output.php

 

// Output a form radio field

function tep_draw_radio_field($name, $value = '', $checked = false, $parameters = '') {

return tep_draw_selection_field($name, 'radio', $value, $checked, $parameters);

}

}

 

CHANGE TO

 

// Output a form radio field

function tep_draw_radio_field($name, $value = '', $checked = true, $parameters = '') {

return tep_draw_selection_field($name, 'radio', $value, $checked, $parameters);

I needed to have customers subscribed to newslatetrs by default, so i set customers_newsletter in customers table in the db to default to 1 and not null. Then i commented out /catalog/create_account.php lines 479-496 the code that asks customers to sign up for the newsletter, finally I changed /catalog/create_account.php line 52 $newsletter = true;

 

49 if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['newsletter'])) {

50 $newsletter = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['newsletter']);

51 } else {

52 $newsletter = true;

53 }

 

So now customers receive newsletters by default, and have to visit the subscribe/unsubscribe page to unsubscribe.

 

I couldn't find the code FOD suggested, but hopefully this might help.
