Magento newsletter auto checked on registration Page


I'm running magento 1.7.0.2 and I want the checkbox of the newsletter subscription on the registration page checked by default. I have followed a few hacks but they were all written for older versions of magento. Here's a link to one of the hacks which I tried and didn't work: Force newsletter subscription in Magento

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • Here is what worked for me. If you want the newsletter opt in on the customer account registration page checked by default, get this file: /app/design/frontend/your_theme/default/template/customer/form/regist‌​er.phtml

    Find this line:

    <?php if ($this->isNewsletterEnabled()): ?>
    

    Right below it, add this:

    <?php
    $checked = true;
    if($this->getFormData()->getEmail()) {
    if(!$this->getFormData()->getIsSubscribed()) {
        $checked = true;
        }
    }   
     ?>
    

    Then Find this div

    <div class="input-box">
    

    Replace the code in the div with this code:

    <input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed" title="<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter') ?>" value="1" id="is_subscribed" checked="checked" class="checkbox" />
    

    That's it! Save and upload the file.
