Newsletter confirmation email link empty in email

[bhaas]

Does anyone know another way to render the Newsletter subscription confirmation link another way?

Looks like there is a default function to do this:

<a href="{{var subscriber.getConfirmationLink()}}"><span>Confirm Subscription</span></a>

But it never renders anything to the page. Or is there a fix for making this function work?

Hi @bhaas 

Is it just an empty link in the email, or that the page is blank?

As far as I know the page is just a redirect to the frontpage with a notification.

Hi Theis,

Sorry, that wasn't clear. Tthe email itself renders accurately, the var itself just returns empty.

But its confirming the newsletter subscription so my understanding it has to in fact confirm within magento a valid registration (spam protection) and return to some type of page notifying the user their registratrion is in fact confirmed.
