Any joy with this yet from anyone at Actinic?

Thanks

I think you may have left out the following stages of the fix:

12.	Then search for: '# Construct the mail text and send it to the merchant'

13.	You need to add a line for each field after:

$sTextMailBody .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2373) . "\r\n" . $sMessage . "\r\n\r\n";

for example:

$sTextMailBody .= "MyNewFieldName:" . $sMyNewField . "\r\n";

In your case it would be

$sTextMailBody .= "Subscription:" . $sSubscribe . "\r\n";

Chris, thanks for this. Do I just need to add the one line for Subscribe or a second one for Unsubscribe as well?

[cdicken]

The one line will cover both situations as '$sSubscribe' is a variable, which will be substituted for whatever the customer selects online.

Will try and report back - thanks Chris

*EDIT* WORKS A TREAT - thanks again

Hi,

Further to the previous messages I have been trying to ensure that when a customer subscribes or unsubscribes to the newsletter, the resulting email states their preference.

I have tried to implement the changes in the MailForm.pl file but each time I edit the script to add the information Chris has suggested, I get the following error on the Newsletter Subscription page:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request

I know this is due to an error within the changes I have made within the MailForm.pl file as when I revert it back to the way it was originally the page displays fine. However, I still then have the problem that the emails received don't state whether the customer is subscribing or unsubscribing.

I can't see what I have done wrong, but I have obviously done something incorrectly. I have included the information I have added to the MailForm.pl below (highlighted in bold):

# Construct the mail text and send it to the merchant
#
$sError = ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2377);
$sTextMailBody .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2370) . $sName . "\r\n";
$sTextMailBody .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2371) . $sEmailRecpt . "\r\n";
$sTextMailBody .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2373) . "\r\n" . $sMessage . "\r\n\r\n";
$sTextMailBody .= "Subscription:" . $sSubscribe . "\r\n";
my @Response = ACTINIC::SendMail($::g_sSmtpServer, $$::g_pSetupBlob{EMAIL}, $sSubject, $sTextMailBody, $sEmailRecpt);
if ($Response[0] != $::SUCCESS)

I have probably misunderstood the instructions and would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction.

I have also noticed that the resulting email sent does not include the 'surname' of the customer, only the first name. How do I ensure that all fields are in fact sent on the email?

Thanks,
