[SOLVED] Newsletter Auto Checked?

[barrystein]

At registration and guest registration

is it possible to have the

Sign up for our newsletter

Checkbox already checked.

 

That way if customer wants to opt out,

they uncheck the box,

but if they do nothing they are subscribed to the newsletter.

[shokinro]

it is easy to do that by changing the theme file of authentication page

 

/themes/YourTheme/authentication.tpl

 

Look for following two line

 

<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" id="newsletter" value="1" {if isset($smarty.post.newsletter) AND $smarty.post.newsletter == 1} checked="checked"{/if} />

 

Change line to

<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" id="newsletter" value="1" checked />

 

Note:

If you are using 1.4x, there are two occurrences in the file, one is for Guest, another another for none guest.

Thanks @shokinro! Just to clearify, if you use the OPC you change in order-opc-new-account.tpl and order-opc.tpl... =)

If you would like to have “Sign up for our newsletter” box checked automatically for new account sign-up, find the below code:

<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" id="newsletter" value="1" {if isset($smarty.post.newsletter) AND $smarty.post.newsletter == 1} checked="checked"{/if} />

in the following files of your theme folder: authentication.tpl, identity.tpl, order-opc-new-account.tpl

Replace the above code with the code below:

<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" id="newsletter" value="1" checked="checked" />

And you’re done with it

Where/What is this "$smarty.post.newsletter"? If I do not want to amend the code, they are supposed to be "true", how/where do I toggle them?
