After trying to track this down some more I have found out why it is
unsubscribing from the newsletter, but not so much of how to stop it.
In the newsletter listener, the "contact_form_listener" has the
following if statement:
if 'newsletter' not in formdata:
subscribed = False
else:
subscribed = formdata['newsletter']
There is not any newsletter in the form data from the first step of
checkout where you verify addresses and such. So the listener is
automatically setting the subscribed = False.
Would it be better to add the newsletter to the form data as a hidden
field in the checkout process?? or to rewrite the listener to check if
the email is already subscribed? perhaps with the
newsletter.email_is_subscribed(cls, email) from the newsletter model?
and then pass the results of that test? I have tried to do this, but
couldn't get it to work. I am still trying to figure out how signals
work in general.
Thanks for any help.
