osCommerce and Joomla Plugins for MailChimp
September 16, 2008 – 10:55 amThe MailChimp Plugins page just keeps growing.
Graith Internet gives us an osCommerce plugin that adds a “subscribe me to your newsletter” checkbox to your ecommerce checkout process. Their first name and email are then added to your MailChimp list. Great for e-retailers to grow your list and send offers! Be sure to also check out our Google Analytics integration and new email campaign ROI tracking tools.
GenerationSix posted a Joomla! extension for MailChimp. I’m really happy about this one, because whenever I mention MailChimp’s API and our plugins page, all I ever hear in response is, “Any Joomla plugins?” and “Got any Joomla plugins?” and “Haven’t you guys ever heard of Joomla?” and “Why aren’t there any Joomla plugins?” Now when people ask me if we have Joomla plugins, I can finally say, “YES!” (but then people ask me why I say “yes” so loudly).
Plugins are an easy way to just plug MailChimp functionality into just about any product. Developers have created plugins for Drupal, Foxy Cart, Movable Type, Wordpress, Ruby on Rails, Zen Cart, and TypePad.

I’m so excited about the new Joomla plugin. We design client sites based on that system, so we were one of the ones asking about Joomla plugins! Thanks for keeping us informed!

Hi JP, when I spoke at a recent Meetup event for web developers, I must have heard “Joomla” a dozen times. Joomla users have definitely been the most vocal to our API team. Hope you find GenerationSix’s plugin useful!

when do you all plan on getting around to updating the plugin for Joomla v1.5?

Hi Chris,
The folks over at GenerationSix actually developed the Joomla plugin, so they would be the ones to update it. Why not give ‘em a shout?
