changing how newsletter reacts to registrations

[closeupman]

Is it possible to change the way the newsletter module processes registrations?

 

I would prefer a pop up rather than redirecting to the homepage, especially since, if they register at the bottom of the page, they won't see the successful registration message unless they scroll all they way down after the redirect.

 

Or maybe to a new page that says successful registration, and a button to click to continue shopping?

Or would this require extensive coding?

 

I also see this problem with the newest 1.6 that I'm testing out locally. It's nice that it gives a long green bar with the successful registration message(towards the top of the page), but there's a lot of 'noise' around it (flash banner and other graphics) that I think it might 'confuse' the shopper about what they just did.

 

If not, no big deal, just curious if there was an easy way to do this.

 

Thanks.

hi,

the best way to do this is modify module.

becuse , form is redirect to index.php  ( look in the html  <from action="yoursite/index.php" ) .

 

The best way is to use ajax, but it is more dificult.

 

you can redirect the submited e-amil to another controler (in module file):

 

private function _prepareHook($params)
    {
        if (Tools::isSubmit('submitNewsletter'))
        {

                    / / TOOLS:Redirect ()  

          }

 

}

 

But it is dirty solution

Good post, yes this really needs to be solved in 1.6 or even in 1.5x, it will greatly increase newsletter signups if it was more intuitive.

 

I am looking for a ajax or html5 version.

 

Thanks.
