Magento Newsletter Subscription Confirmation Succesful not sent

Question

We set the option that a user needs to confirm their subscription to yes.
In System > Configuration > Newsletter > Need to confirm **(YES)**

That works good, but when a user did confirm his/her email address, they do not receive the Success Email.

How can we send the Succes Email after they confirmed their email address?

Answer 1

Search the file /app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/Model/Subscriber.php

copy the whole content to

MyVendor/Tweaks/Newsletter/Model/Subscriber.php

Then find the below

public function confirm($code)
    {
        if($this->getCode()==$code) {
            $this->setStatus(self::STATUS_SUBSCRIBED)
                ->setIsStatusChanged(true)
                ->save();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

And replace it with:

public function confirm($code)
    {
        if($this->getCode()==$code) {
            $this->setStatus(self::STATUS_SUBSCRIBED)
                ->setIsStatusChanged(true)
                ->save();

                $this->sendConfirmationSuccessEmail();
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

Answer 2

Klettseb's solution should work, but I'd recommend a lighter approach instead of overriding the entire Subscriber class:

\app\etc\modules\Yourcompany_Newsletter.xml

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <config>
      <modules>
          <Yourcompany_Newsletter>
              <active>true</active>
              <codePool>local</codePool>
              <version>1.0.0</version>
          </Yourcompany_Newsletter>
      </modules>
  </config>

\app\code\local\Yourcompany\Newsletter\etc\config.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <config>
      <modules>
          <Yourcompany_Newsletter>
              <version>1.0.0</version>
          </Yourcompany_Newsletter>
      </modules>
      <global>
          <models>
              <yourcompany_newsletter>
                  <class>Yourcompany_Newsletter_Model</class>
              </yourcompany_newsletter>
              <newsletter>
                  <rewrite>
                     <subscriber>Yourcompany_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber</subscriber>
                  </rewrite>
              </newsletter>
          </models>
      </global>
  </config>

\app\code\local\Yourcompany\Newsletter\Model\Subscriber.php

  <?php

  class Yourcompany_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber extends Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber
  {

      /**
       * send the confirmation-success email if newsletter subscription is confirmed
       */
      public function confirm($code)
      {
          $isConfirmed = parent::confirm($code);

          if ($isConfirmed == true) {
              $this->sendConfirmationSuccessEmail();
          }

          return $isConfirmed;
      }

  }
