<h3>Steps to setup:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Download and extract the ezchimp.tar.gz file into your <em>modules/addons/</em> folder within your WHMCS directory.</li>
<li>Move the ezchimp_webhook.php file to your WHMCS root directory (eg: <em>/home/username/public_html/whmcs</em>). Test and make sure <em>http://yourdomain.com/whmcs/ezchimp_webhook.php</em> is giving a blank page instead of any errors such as internal server error (500). If it does, check and fix the ownership (should be owned by the domain&#8217;s username on a cpanel server for example), permission (try 555) etc so that it works.</li>
<li>Go to WHMCS admin -&gt; Setup -&gt; Addon Modules and &#8220;activate&#8221; the module listed as &#8220;MailChimp newsletter&#8221;</li>
<li>Set the WHMCS base URL (eg: <em>http://yourdomain.com/whmcs</em>, since version 1.6 only, not displayed in screenshot below).</li>
<li>After successful activation enter you MailChimp API key and set access control below in the same page:
<p><div id="attachment_79" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-12_1658.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-79" title="ezchimp addon" src="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-12_1658-1024x717.png" alt="ezchimp addon activation" width="640" height="448" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ezchimp addon activation</p></div></li>
<li>Go to &#8220;Addons&#8221; -&gt; &#8220;MailChimp newsletter&#8221; and configure the settings as necessary:
<p><div id="attachment_80" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1548.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-80" title="ezchimp settings" src="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1548-1024x601.png" alt="ezchimp settings" width="640" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ezchimp settings</p></div></li>
<li>Click on &#8220;Lists &amp; Groups&#8221; in right menu to display all mailing lists and interest groups in your Mailchimp account:
<p><div id="attachment_81" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1637.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-81" title="ezchimp lists config" src="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1637-1024x620.png" alt="ezchimp lists" width="640" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mailchimp lists and interest groups</p></div></li>
<li>Enable those you need to make available for your clients in WHMCS. Give an alias as you wish. If you do not specify an alias, the name of the interest group (or the name of the list if there are no interest groups in it) will be used.</li>
<li>The &#8220;Status&#8221; link in side menu will display the subscription status of your clients and their sub-contacts to mailing lists and interest groups:
<p><div id="attachment_83" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1647.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-83" title="echimp subscription status" src="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1647-1024x667.png" alt="echimp subscription status" width="640" height="416" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">echimp subscription status</p></div></li>
<li>Use the &#8220;Tools&#8221; link to initially subscribe existing clients after a fresh activation of ezchimp module:
<div id="attachment_82" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1644.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-82" title="ezchimp tools" src="http://blog.admod.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-23_1644-1024x348.png" alt="ezchimp tools" width="640" height="217" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ezchimp initial subscribing</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All text can be modified by editing the file english.php in the ezchimp/lang/ folder. You may also add support for other languages by creating a new file for the language in ezchimp/lang/ folder.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Note: </strong>if you need a complete WHMCS addon module for Mailchimp integration where customers can subscribe to lists and interest groups of their choice, see<strong> <a title="ezchimp – WHMCS Mailchimp integration" href="http://blog.admod.com/2012/01/23/ezchimp-whmcs-mailchimp-integration/">ezchimp</a></strong></p>
<p>Subscribe your clients in WHMCS to required mailing list and interest groups in your MailChimp account based on the product group they order.</p>
<p>Suppose you want to auto subscribe your client to &#8220;Hosting&#8221; interest group in your MailChimp mailing list when they order one of your &#8220;Web Hosting&#8221; product and to &#8220;Domains&#8221; interest group when they purchase one of your &#8220;Domain&#8221; product, this script can do it for you. You can organize your clients to different interest groups easily and send newsletters and special offers to specific interest groups for maximum effective email marketing.</p>
<p>This script makes use of WHMCS AcceptOrder hook and WHMCS and MailChimp APIs.</p>
<p>Thanks to <strong>Juan Manuel Zolezzi Volpi, <a title="Duplika Internet Solutions" href="http://www.duplika.com/" target="_blank">Duplika Internet Solutions</a></strong> for the idea and funding for the development of this script and permission to share it.</p>
<h3>Steps to setup:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Set values for config variables and WHMCS product group to MailChimp mailing list and interest groups map</li>
<li>Upload this script to includes/hooks folder inside your WHMCS install folder</li>
<li>Make sure the merge fields in mailchimp mailing list are set as:

<div>
<p>It is recommended that you move the configuration settings to a separate file (say,) config.php, upload it in a location outside the document root folder and include it in this script. Otherwise if your PHP engine breaks due to some reason (for example, due to an error in your web server configuration), there is chance for this script to load as text in user&#8217;s browser exposing your WHMCS admin login and other sensitive information given in this script.</p>
