Newsletter subscription checkbox not shown during checkout
The MailUp extension for Magento adds a newsletter subscription checkbox to the step of the default checkout. This feature can be turned on and off in the extension settings.
If the checkbox does not show, this may be due to the use of a custom theme.
There are two files needed for this part of the extension to work correctly: both are inside the theme folder:
app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/mailup.xml
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/mailup/subscribe.phtml
In some cases, including the usage of a custom theme, those files will need to be copied to a different location.
Uploading the files to your theme's directory structure, and then refreshing the Magento installation should get this feature working as expected:
app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/layout/mailup.xml
app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/template/mailup/subscribe.phtml
For example, if you have a custom theme called MyTheme, inside the Default package you would copy the files to the correct location:
app/design/frontend/default/mytheme/layout/mailup.xml
app/design/frontend/default/mytheme/template/mailup/subscribe.phtml
Once the files have been uploaded, you will need to refresh the Magento cache in the Magento admin console.
You should then be able to see the newsletter subscription option at the final step of the checkout.
