Our apologies for the status of the documentation. Because of the recent amount of updates to our extensions, it has proven difficult to keep up with the documentation. Some manuals are either not complete or not updated to reflect the current released extensions. We have now dedicated extra time to the updates.

Newsletter checkbox in Virtuemart registration

Due to the unstable nature of Virtuemart 1.1, the integration is unsupported and
you will implement it at your own risk.

A ccNewsletter subscription check-box can easily be integrated within Virtuemart 1.1. When integrated, the user will see a newsletter subscription check-box in the Virtuemart registration form (during checkout of the order). 

To implement the newsletter subscription check-box, you must add that field to the Virtuemart User Fields. 

  1. Make sure you have installed the latest version of ccNewsletter
  2. Make sure you have installed the latest version of Virtuemart 1.1
  3. Go to Components > Virtuemart > Admin > Manage User Fields
  4. First, we will create a field-set delimiter (a box) to show the newsletter subscription check-box in
    1. Click "New" in the toolbar
    2. Field type, select "=== Fieldset delimiter ==="
    3. Field name, enter "newsletter box", it will be changed to another format automatically
    4. Field title, enter "Newsletter subscription"
    5. Description, keep empty
    6. Show in account maintenance: No
    7. The other fields can keep their default values
    8. Click "Save"
  5. Create the newsletter subscription check-box
    1. Click "New" in the toolbar
    2. Field type, select "Newsletter Subscription (ccNewsletter)"
    3. Field name, enter "Newsletter subscription", it will be changed to another format automatically
    4. Field title, enter "Subscribe to our newsletter?"
    5. Description, add a few reasons for people to subscribe to the newsletter
    6. Show in account maintenance: No
    7. The other fields can keep their default values
    8. Click "Save"
  6. Now you will need to reorder the box and newsletter subscription check-box to a location lower in the registration form.
    1. In the "Manage User Fields" overview, scroll to the right and find the "Reorder" and "A > Z" columns.
    2. In the "A > Z" column, enter "26" in the vm_newsletter_box field
    3. Now, in the "A > Z" column, enter "27" in the vm_newsletter_subscription field
    4. Then, click the little disk icon in the "A > Z" column
    5. In the default Virtuemart user registration form, the newsletter section would now be at the bottom of the form, just above the "Send Registration" box. 
    6. If you have already done modifications to the Virtuemart registration form, you will need to play with the ordering values in the "A > Z" column until the newsletter section is placed at a good location
  7. You can now view the newsletter check-box in the Virtuemart registration form in your website!
