Removing newsletter subscription option

[mikejcor]

Is there anyway to disable the newsletter subscribe options?  I don't want to have that option available and am hoping there is a switch to turn it off and I just can't find it.

It's in layouts....
You can change it to none...then turn it off in the blocks.

Remember to turn it off on all the pages in layouts.

Possibly we need to add option in layout/block selection to add/or remove a block in all layout/pages. Did not mean to change the topic, but I a was thinking of this the other day.

I was able to take it off all the pages in the layout, but it still shows up in the Create Account page.  Also, it won't let me remove it in the blocks.

Abantecart -  I vote that would probably be a really great feature to add .  Please continue to see if it makes sense.

It seems that one always forgets to do that on some page.

My bad, you can't turn that block off. To remove it from the create account page, you'll need to modify the template. It is embedded in the template.

It's under storefront>view>default_HTML5>template>pages>account>create.tpl

Code: [Select]

<h4 class="heading4 "><?php echo $text_newsletter; ?></h4>
<div class="registerbox form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label"><?php echo $entry_newsletter; ?></label>
<div class="controls">
    <?php echo $form['newsletter']; ?>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</div>
lines 97 through 107...remove those it will remove the newsletter solicitation.

That is what I thought.  I was hoping I had missed something in the documentation.
Thanks
