Magento

I still have a question, though- how do i “place it in my template”?

I already modified the newsletter.xml file, if that makes a difference

and to clarify further- I have it in the right column (yay!) but its at the bottom, and I would prefer it at the top. I have NO IDEA how to go about doing that.

All i had to do was edit the newsletter.xml file. I changed

<reference name=”left”>
<block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="right.newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"/>
</reference>

to <reference name=”right”>
<block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="right.newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"/>
</reference>

and it worked.

PS: and if you find a solution to a problem, please post it to the forum; don’t just mention that you found the solution.

I seeking help for “how to add additional fields to newsletter”.
i need to add Telephone and name and Zip code fields to Newsletter
how i store this in database and how i retrieve in admin section.

I also changed the newsletter.xml, that makes a difference

newsletter.xml

switch reference “left” to “right”

and that is it. the newsletter block should be on every page. * worked for me no issues*

You don’t need to modify your XML files.

Simply place this snippet in your template .phtml file where you want the form to appear…

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('newsletter/subscribe')->setTemplate('newsletter/subscribe.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>

Thanks it worked for me.

Worked for 1.7.0.2

Edit:  Had to remove the newsletter from the default left sidebar by editing the newsletter.xml file to this:

I changed reference name="left" to “”

AWESOME! Thanks Adrian, This is exactly what i was looking for, i didn’t want to mess around with the xml files, i simply wanted to add the newsletter to a column I created in the footer.

I was able to add this to the CMS for the home page to get the box to show up:

{{block type="newsletter/subscribe" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"}}


The form works properly and enters the email address into the system. However, there is no success message for the user to see that the form was successful. I have tried adding the following to the page, but it hasn’t worked either:

{{block type="core/messages" template="core/messages.phtml"}}

Any thoughts?

This worked for me. I just went to CMS-->Static Blocks-->Banner2 and pasted it under my Facebook Logo. Looks great! Thank you for the tip!

{{block type="newsletter/subscribe" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"}}
