Subscribe To Newsletter On Order Page

[freakhouse]

I have commented out the subscribe to newsletter on my order page in the authentication.tpl file (see below). I would however like those buyers to automatically be added to my newsletter. How can I do this?

 

{*

                    <p class="checkbox">
                        <input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" id="newsletter" value="1" if isset($smarty.post.newsletter) && $smarty.post.newsletter == '1'}checked="checked"{/if} />
                        <label for="newsletter">{l s='Sign up for our newsletter!'}</label>
                    </p>
*}

Please note that something like this is usally illegal, the customer should explicitly agree to subscription etc.

 

But if you want you can uncomment it, add checked="ckecked" and hide it in css, it will be checked for every user.

So, let me make sure I understand. I uncomment the code above and then add checked="checked" after it? None of the rest of that code has to be modified?

 

By hide it in css, you're saying hide it from displaying, correct? Can you tell me how to do that?

Or maybe it would be even easier to replace it with that code:

<input type="hidden" name="newsletter" value="1" />
