Newsletter Center

General

PHPlist is a great open source software, just as Zen-Cart, that manages newsletters perfectly. The newsletter center code is an integration between Zen-Cart and PHPlist. It makes it easy to allow (not) registered users to apply to an email list easily. This code pulls all data from the PHPlist database → e.g. which newsletter lists can be subscribed to, which fields are required for them and so on....
