Default Newsletter Option To "Yes"?

New Member Joined: May 04, 2005 Posts: 4

I'm trying to set the default option for Receive Newsletter my email? to "yes" but without any luck.

I changed the value in the nuke_users table from "0" to "1" but after testing, the option was still set to "No"

Anyone got another way of setting this up? I use 4.4.2 btw.

Thnx

I think rather than changing the value from '0' to '1' you would have to change the attribute to have a 'default value' of '1' in the relevant table.

well he's right on that,a simple change from 0 to 1 should do but it was a bug.
so changing it in the database wont help...
however you can try to see if you receive the mail.

Hello,

Edit the file modules\Your_Account\public\activate.php and replace the line :

Code:

        echo "<option value=\"1\">"._YES."</option><option value=\"0\" selected>"._NO."</option></select></td></tr>\n";

whis this :

Code:

      echo "<option value=\"1\"selected>"._YES."</option><option value=\"0\">"._NO."</option></select></td></tr>\n";

Hello,
Personally with this modification the newsletter is on one by default.

I have to replace this code:

Code:

        echo "<tr><td bgcolor='$bgcolor2'>"._RECEIVENEWSLETTER.":</td><td bgcolor='$bgcolor1'><select name='newsletter'>";


        echo "<option value=\"1\">"._YES."</option><option value=\"0\" selected>"._NO."</option></select></td></tr>\n";

by this code :

Code:

      echo "<tr><td bgcolor='$bgcolor2'>"._RECEIVENEWSLETTER.":</td><td bgcolor='$bgcolor1'><select name='newsletter'>";


      echo "<option value=\"1\"selected>"._YES."</option><option value=\"0\">"._NO."</option></select></td></tr>\n";

to have the newsletter activated by default.
