[1.5.0.3] Newsletter Subscribe for Guest Checkout

Hi guys,
I may be missing something obvious, but I don't have/can't see an option for newsletter subscription for customers who use the Guest Checkout only. Version 1.5.0.3 installed today.
Is this an easy fix, or have I just overlooked something?
Thanks in advance
p.s. Superb job on 1.5 guys!

Any clues? It must have been asked before - I just can't find the mod.

I have even worse problem, my newsletter is not working at all. No matter how I choose to send it.
Order confirmation are working properly though and arrives after just a few seconds !!
Can anyone help with troubleshooting? I use OC 1.5.0.2

Worse problem? Guess it's all relative
Sorry to hear yours, but maybe it needs a separate thread? Maybe we can both get to the bottom of the issues without confusing them.

The newsletter table in the database is tied to the customer table, so there's no way to track Guest Checkout subscriptions. For 1.4.x, Qphoria has an extension that lets anyone subscribe to the newsletter through a side module. You can take a look at it here:

It's not updated for 1.5.x yet, but probably will be sometime in the future.

Ok, understood. Thanks for the info.
Obviously Opencart collects the guest customers' emails, so I just need a simple way of giving them a checkbox for subscription - even if their email address would then need to be manually transferred to the customer email table? If that makes sense?!
Hope someone can help and thanks in advance.

No, there is no free version of a newsletter module.

Hi guys,
Just added in sign-up for newsletter option on Guest checkout.
In your CUSTOM template directory copy across the checkout/guest.tpl file and around line 68, just before:
add in:
Code: Select all
<input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" value="1" id="newsletter" />
<label for="newsletter">I wish to subscribe to the <?php echo $this->config->get('config_name'); ?> newsletter.</label>
<br />
That's it . . . should work fine, don't think anything else is required
--- now to work out how to put these code snippets into VQmods so they can be used . . . . more research required.
Hope it helps, Max

I don't think this will work because the 'order' table of the database doesn't have a field for 'newsletter' as the 'customer' table does.
I'm actually trying to integrate the Guest checkout with Campaign Monitor API, using the above code in checkout/guest.tpl does anyone know how I'd get the value of 'newsletter' in model/checkout/order.php ?
