I want to make it possible that a new customer should sign up to the newsletter while the checkout process (if he create a new account).
So I have put a checkbox
in the billing.phtml
file as follow:
<input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed"
title="newsletter_signup" value="1" class="checkbox"/>
<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter 2') ?>
But nothing has happened. It did not work. I think I must do more? But I don't know what?

Here is the process you can follow -
add below code at billing.phtml
<input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed" title="<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter') ?>" value="1" checked="checked" class="checkbox" />
using the event checkout_submit_all_after subscribe the customer to newsletter
<global>
<events>
<checkout_submit_all_after> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
<observers>
<checkout_submit_all_after_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
<type>singleton</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
<class>magento52274/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
<method>AssignNewletter</method> <!-- observer's method to be called -->
<args></args> <!-- additional arguments passed to observer -->
</checkout_submit_all_after_handler>
</observers>
</checkout_submit_all_after>
</events>
</global>
And Observer code is :
public function AssignNewletter($observer) {
$event = $observer->getEvent();
$order = $event->getOrder();
$Quote =$event->getQuote();
if (in_array($Quote()->getCheckoutMethod(), array('register','customer'))):
if Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()->getParam('is_subscribed')){
$status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($Quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail());
}
endif;
}
Full Module:
Step1: create config.xml at app/code/local/Stackexchange/Magento52274/etc/ and code is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Stackexchange_Magento52274>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</Stackexchange_Magento52274>
</modules>
<global>
<models>
<magento52274>
<class>Stackexchange_Magento52274_Model</class>
</magento52274>
</models>
<events>
<checkout_submit_all_after> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
<observers>
<checkout_submit_all_after_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
<type>singleton</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
<class>magento52274/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
<method>AssignNewletter</method> <!-- observer's method to be called -->
</checkout_submit_all_after_handler>
</observers>
</checkout_submit_all_after>
</events>
</global>
</config>
Step2: create Observer.php at app/code/local/Stackexchange/Magento52274/Model/ and code is
<?php
class Stackexchange_Magento52274_Model_Observer
{
public function AssignNewletter(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$event = $observer->getEvent();
$order = $event->getOrder();
$Quote =$event->getQuote();
if (in_array($Quote()->getCheckoutMethod(), array('register','customer'))):
if Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getParam('is_subscribed', false)){
$status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($Quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail());
}
endif;
}
}
Step3: create Module app/etc/modules/Stackexchange_Magento52274.xml and code is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Stackexchange_Magento52274>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</Stackexchange_Magento52274>
</modules>
</config>
Step4: And also need add newsletter field at billing.phtml a
<input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed" title="<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter') ?>" value="1" checked="checked" class="checkbox" />
