This tutorial shows how to work with TM Newsletter module in PrestaShop 1.6.x:

This module allows to add a popup to the home page suggesting site visitors to subscribe to your site newsletter.

1. Open the admin section and navigate to Modules -> Modules and enter “newsletter” to the search.

   You should see three enabled modules: Newsletter, Newsletter block and TM Newsletter. If one of them is not installed and disabled, you need to enable it as they are interrelated:

   

2. In Modules -> Modules -> TM Newsletter -> Configure you will be able to manage the module settings:

   • Live mode – set it to Yes to enable the newsletter popup;
   • Would you like to send a verification email after subscription?
     – enable/disable subscription verification;
   • Timeout for guests – the number of hours before the popup appears once again for unregistered users;
   • Timeout for customers – the number of hours before the popup appears once again for registered users.

4. To change the background image, access your site folder on the server via FTP or through hosting cPanel.

      #newsletter_popup {
                background: url("../../../../../img/secondtopimg.png");

      As you see, the image used is secondtopimg.png and can be found in the themes/themeXXX/img folder:
