Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
We recently started using the VPASP newsletter feature with the subscribe textbox in the customer order form.
The problem is, is that the box is *always* deselected when a customer gets to the order portion. No matter which browser I try it on (or even multiple orders on the same browser) it always defaults to ''unchecked'' which means that in order for our customer to be on the newsletter list, they must check the box on their first order (to subscribe) each and every time they subscribe. If they leave it unchecked, the db will unsubscribe them (leaving a null value in the field).
I looked a bit at the code and saw VPASP has an if statement that is supposed to help regulate this but it doesn''t apper to do be functioning correctly.
Personally, I would have opted for a radio button style that would record either a yes (1), or no(0), to subscribing and only put in a null value if they never answered because then I could at least look at the rows that are not 1 and see which ones intentionally said "no" (0) vs those who just didn''t bother to answer.
In any case, shouldn''t the current newsletter be looking each time it reaches the order page to see what the current newsletter setting and then check or uncheck the box as needed? There seems to be code for this distinction but nothing is working. |

Hi,
I remember I faced the same problem and applied two modifications:
In shopcustomerform.asp, sub AddMailList, around line 336:
if GetSess("blnmaillist") = "False" or GetSess("blnmaillist") = "" or GetSess("blnmaillist") = "0" then
changed by:
if blnmaillist = "False" or blnmaillist = "" or blnmaillist = "0" or blnmaillist = "Faux" then
It should not check the session variable but the local variable. I added "Faux" since our site is in french.
In the SaveCustomerDetailsCookie subroutine in shopsess.asp, the following line was missing:
BuildCookie cookfield, "maillist", blnmaillist
I hope this will solve your problem.
Kind regards,
Erik

Thank you Erik,
I tried your suggestion but it still isn''t working.
I have:
if blnmaillist = "False" or blnmaillist = "" or blnmaillist = "0" or blnmaillist = "NULL" then
blnmaillist = FALSE
else
blnmaillist=TRUE
end if
if blnmaillist = TRUE then%>
<input type="checkbox" name="blnmaillist" value="TRUE" checked="checked" />
<%else%>
<input type="checkbox" name="blnmaillist" value="TRUE" />
<%
end if
in shopcustomerform.asp
and
BuildCookie cookfield, "maillist", blnmaillist in shopsess.asp
When i place an order, I can put in a checkmark and it will mark the newsletter table as 1 (and even if I fail to a shipping option, it returns to the page as ''checked'') but if I log out and log back in again, the checkbox is gone, my response.write blnmaillist test line shows up as 0 even though the newsletter table has the customer marked as 1
wonder if I can force a check to ensure it is getting the latest db info. |
