Subscribe2 Integration Help Needed with Subscribe2 Pro

[Siamese-Dream.Com]

I know there won't be support for Subscribe 2 Pro, but there is still supposed to be support for Subscribe2 INTEGRATION MODULE, right????

I ask this cause I can't seem to get any help from Miva for my problems with this module!!!

Here's the problem:

I am using version 4.30 of the OUI Checkbox integration module and Subscribe PRO Version 2.11, but when I go to the order information screen (OINF), no check box for the mailing lists. What's up with that???

The module is active and enabled.The html form I have looks like this:

<BR><BR><B>Yes. I would like to be subscribed to your opt in email mailing lists.</B><BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="wumpsubscribe2checkbox[1]" CHECKED>
<B> All Items</B><BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="wumpsubscribe2checkbox[2]" >
<B> Clothing & Fashion Only</B><BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="wumpsubscribe2checkbox[3]"> <B>Spiritual & Religious Items Only
</B><BR><BR>


Thanks in advance,

Hi Mark,

The entire Subscribe2 product line is approaching end-of-life. Support is no longer available for those products directly from MIVA.

However, I know there are quite a few people on these forums that use Subscribe2. I myself would be glad to help you out if only I knew more about the product. But I'll see what I can find out about your question.

HI there, Jimmy:

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I do have to point out that on the Miva Central web site product page for subscribe2 merhcant integration module:

"Sold seperately to ensure the ability to provide "Free Support for Life" for the basic Subscribe Product. "

One would assume they mean my life, right? That was the whole reason I decided to upgrade.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

1) Are you using OpenUI
2) Are you a template product that replaces the screen which asks the customer for their billing / shipping information?

Hi there, Keith:

1) Yes

2) I am using Open UI and I DO have other page templates by viking coders installed, but I am using the default Miva page for the customer information page (where the ship to and bill to info is entered)

I would be delighted to use the other page templates page instead, but I couldn't find anything on the viking Coders web site about how to intergrate it either.

BTW: This worked fine until i upgraded from Subscribe2 up to Subscribe2 Pro, then it stopped working. With the pro version, I now have four different mailing lists, while with the origina version, you are only allowed one list.

I didn't see any way of upgrading the INTERGRATION module to a pro version. I am assuming that the latest integration module (which I already have) was supposed to work with both the original version and pro version of subscribe2

I really have to start looking for a different shopping cart application. Miva just keeps getting worse and worse with everything they do...

Somewhat in defense of MIVA here...

The problem is not with MIVA Merchant at all, it is with the choice MIVA made not to support or continue development of third party modules they aquired.

I think it is absolutely irresponsible to continue to offer a product for sale that you cannot support. At least there should be a disclaimer at the time of purchase advising clearly that support is NOT provided.

I also think it is a disservice to the community as a whole to not notify owners of existing modules that the product they have installed is no longer supported. We have a ton of customers with CBS modules that we can no longer get help with. We were initially advised the MIVA would be continuing support of the modules that were aquired - obviously somewhere that was changed and no one made any notifications.

On the other hand, you have an alternative to Subscribe2 - Scot's Mailing List 3 (http://www.mivacentral.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=m&Product_Code=AVANT-SMR_SM&ref=WPAW), which continues to be developed and supported by its author.

Thanks Vic. As usual, you are right again.

I just wonder if I can go back to my credit card company (AmericanExpress) and ask for a chargeback on Subscribe2pro since it doesn't work as advertised...

You should be able to use Other Page Templates with Subscribe 2 just fine, but I'm not sure about subscribe2 pro.

Here is the code from Susan of Netblazon that should go on the page AFTER the screen where the checkbox is

%OUI%
%IF(tolower(g.wumpsubscribe2checkbox) EQ 'on')%
%SET(g.sub2directory|%VAR(g.MerchantPath)%00000001/subscribe2/)%
%SET(g.sub2module|%VAR(g.Module_Root)%modules/system/subscribe2_OpenUI4c.mvc)%
%DB(OPEN|subsoui|%VAR(g.sub2directory)%oui.dbf)%
%DOFUNC(l.ok|g.sub2module|fullysubscribe(basketlis t.d.bill_fname $ ' ' $
basketlist.d.bill_lname, basketlist.d.bill_email))%
%DB(CLOSE|subsoui)%
%IFEND%
