I could use some help – the code generated by the sign-in form designer on MailChimp's site uses jQuery and there's no choices.

Most (or all) Magento's sites use Prototype.

How can we implement this? I don't want to use jQuery on my site for one sidebar sign-up form, if the rest of my site already has heaps of JS loaded for prototype and scriptaculous.

Any ideas?

I've started coding it up in prototype, and got stuck on the Ajax submit – I'm getting a positive result each time :-(

Thanks in advance

Now, if someone decides to unsubscribe from the newsletter the request will be handled by Mailchimp itself and they will be removed from the subscription list automatically.

Would this feed back to magento?<br>Thanks, Hi, this looks promising, but what happens for unsubscribing e.g. if a logged in user decides to unsubscribe from the newsletter in Magento's My Account section?

Edit /app/design/frontend/default/your_theme/template/newsletter/subscribe.phtml
and replace the following subscription code by the code you generate via AWeber.

<form action=”<?php echo $this->getUrl('newsletter/subscriber/new') ?>” method=”post” id=”newsletter-validate-detail”>

<legend><?php echo $this->__('Newsletter') ?></legend>
<?php /*
<?php if( $message = $this->getErrorMessage() ): ?>

<label for=”newsletter”><?php echo $this->__('Sign up for our newsletter:') ?></label>
<input name=”email” type=”text” id=”newsletter” class=”input-text required-entry validate-email” />

There are quite a few EMail Marketing, EMail Newsletter, and Autoresponders around. AWeber is one of the more popular ones. Whilst AWeber might have more features that MailChimp, I find MailChimp much easier to use. Another advantage of MailChimp (for me at least) is the give you 500 subscribers for free, especially for startup and small businesses. Great tutorial.
