Newsletter Checkout Extension

Get more users on your newsletter subscription list by having them sign up at checkout! With this Magento extension, users are given an opportunity to sign up for newsletter subscription with a simple checkbox on the checkout page.

Part I: First Things First

  1. Log in to your Magento admin

  2. Navigate to System > Cache Management and Disable All Cache

  3. If you have the compilation enabled, make sure to disable it

  4. Log out of the admin. Don't Forget This Step.

Part II: Upload

  1. Using any FTP client, upload THE CONTENTS of the folder "step-1" to your Magento root directory. NOT the folder itself - just the content!

  2. Then upload THE CONTENTS of the "step-2" folder to your Magento root directory. NOT the folder itself - just the content!

Part III: Modify 1 File

************************************** IGNORE THIS STEP IF YOU'RE RUNNING ULTIMENTO ***************************************
************************************************************************************************************************

  1. Open this file: /app/design/frontend/your/theme/path/template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml

  2. Add this code where you want the newsletter opt-in check to appear (below all the other fields - right before the closing "</ul>" tag)

    <?php $modules = array_keys((array)Mage::getConfig()->getNode('modules')->children()); ?>
<?php if (in_array('Mage_Newsletteroptin', $modules)): ?>
	<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('newsletteroptin/newsletter')->toHtml() ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Part IV: That's It!

Now log back in your Magento admin and navigate to System > Configuration > Newsletter Opt-in for the extension's settings.
