SL MailChimp Subscribe v1.1.2 : Easily add new members to your MailChimp mailing lists

Thanks Stephen. May have to suggest to the client that she purchase that then as it’d solve the problem!

Many thanks

Jim

Hi Stephen,

¿does your Mail Chimp addon work with Expression Engine 2.0? if not, any plans for upgrading the code to EE 2.0?

Thanks

Hi Mario,

It doesn’t. An EE 2.0-compatible version is in the works, I’m just waiting for some of the EE 2.0 bugs to be ironed out, so I can finish the extension and release it.

Cheers, Stephen

Hi Stephen,

thanks for your answer… looking forward to implement your add-on when released…

keep on the good work mate!

Cheers

This extension is just what i need! I will be using it in an upcoming project.

Thanks for this addon.

I’ve got the EE register form working fine, the user is added into EE and their Trigger is set to “yes” for receiving the newsletter. All their info is then sent to MailChimp and they show up in the correct list. However, MailChimp isn’t generating an auto-confirmation email upon registration on the EE site. I’ve got EE registration set so that no activation is required. Any help or thoughts on this would be great. Thanks.

Hi Melissa,

However, MailChimp isn’t generating an auto-confirmation email upon registration on the EE site. I’ve got EE registration set so that no activation is required. Any help or thoughts on this would be great.

The extension calls an API method that explicitly sets the double opt-in value on MailChimp to FALSE, and I’m guessing this is where this is falling down for you.

If I were to change this in the extension, I’d need to provide a means of controlling the setting (otherwise it would presumably break for the several hundred other people who haven’t reported a problem with it thus far).

However, you can easily change the setting yourself, if you so desire. Just change line 406 in ext.sl_mailchimp_subscribe.php from:

if ( ! $mc->listSubscribe($list['id'], $member_data->row['email'], $merge_vars, 'html', FALSE))

… to …

if ( ! $mc->listSubscribe($list['id'], $member_data->row['email'], $merge_vars, 'html', TRUE))

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Stephen

Finally got a chance to get this in and it works like a charm! Thank you so much!

Great, glad it solved your problem Mel.

Hi Stephen,

Sorry to be a bother again. The last fix worked great and I really appreciate your quick reply. Unfortunately I have one other minor issue and I’m hoping it’s as easy as the last 😉

I have a form setup with Username, Screen Name, Email and Zip Code - everything gets passed to Mailchimp except “Username” - and idea why or thoughts on what I can do to troubleshoot? Thanks again.

Hi Melissa,

Sorry for the slow response, I somehow contrived to completely miss your message.

I’ve fixed the problem you were having, and emailed you the update. You can also grab the latest code from GitHub.

Once the MailChimp bods have uploaded the new version to their servers, I’ll also update the add-on details page on my site.

Cheers, Stephen

Does this work with EE 2.0 beta, or are there any plans for it to?

Hi Dominic,

Does this work with EE 2.0 beta, or are there any plans for it to?

No, it doesn’t, and yes, there are (hopefully soon).

Cheers, Stephen

Fantastic news. Could I trouble you for an approximate release date? I’m hoping to go live with a client site early-May, and MailChimp integration would be nice.
