MailChimp and MODx?

I have the "There was a problem subscribing you" error message.

And I didn’t succeed in calling the MailChimp List Snippet for debugging. How do I call it?
I copied-pasted the code of the MailChimp List Snippet in a new snippet that I named "mailchimpList".

Here’s my snippets ’calls :


If I look inside the mailchimpSubscripe snippet code I found that the error message is fired by :


That probably means there’s a problem with the fields names I gave in my form. But I can’t figure out what names Mailchimp is awaiting.
I already changed the original mc_FIRST and mc_LAST by FNAME and LNAME (or mc_FNAME and mc_LNAME) with no result.

I tried to change in the snippet this line :

by this one :


No better.
What I am missing ?

I’m having the same problem here.
I tried the &debug parameter and i get « Unable to load lists()! Code=104 Msg=Invalid Mailchimp API Key: *API key here*. You are accessing the wrong datacenter - your client library may not properly support our datacenter mapping scheme. »
I saw either that the API is now 1.2, but i guess the 1.1 should still work.

Any hint/idea where to look at would be much welcomed

Does this snippet work in Revolution? I haven’t tried yet, but may have a need in the near future - anyone else had experience

I managed to get this working in Revolution. I’ve removed the need for the username&password and now only require an API key. So, starting from Garry’s snippet, do the following:

EDIT: Forgot to mention you need to update the API to 1.3 - I just added this at point 2.

1) Find your Mailchimp API key in Mailchimp by going to Account (very top left) -> API Keys & Info (bottom). The key will look something like 45g7453redf3b26r019d230a543e84fg-us2

2) Download the latest Mailchimp PHP API (as of this post, 1.3) - http://www.mailchimp.com/api/downloads/#php. Replace the API in classes/MCAPI.class.php with the one you just downloaded.

3) Erase everything in config.inc.php and replace with:


4) In the snippet code (subscribe.snippet.php), go to line 20 and replace

with


5) Replace the chunk (subscribe.form.tpl), with the following. It changes the evo tags to revo and swaps mc_FIRST/mc_LAST with mc_FNAME and mc_LNAME (what MC will expect):


5) Snippet call becomes: (evo->revo)


That’s it. I’m going to work on an lightweight AJAX version using Jquery shortly.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing this, will give it a try

[[!mailchimpSubscribe?form=`mailchimpForm` &listId=`<YOUR LIST ID>`]]

excellent one ecreate, thanks so much for sharing and not keeping it in your personal stash!

@ecreate: any work to share on this? Would love to use ajax for subscriptions.

Update: am using the ajax examples at the mailchimp api website, works great!

rnd

There is a Wordpress plugin for MailChimp that allows subscribe/unsubscribe from multiple lists. Would that help someone figure out a Revolution snippet to do the same? Not sure what the copyright is.

And the Mailchimp webhooks reference. http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/webhooks/

I have made the changes and updated the zip (which is attached) for those who can’t be bothered to update the code

Well done eCreate!!! Great Contribution!

Someone should submit this to the Add-ons.
