Description
Hi
I wanted to hide the subscribe block for users who had already subscribed, and this looked ideal.
I can't get it to work though - should it work, or is it out of date? Really like the idea of using the PHP block display settings for this if possible.
Thanks!

This is at least out of date. I do not know about 4.7.x, but it certainly does not work in 5.x.
However you can use a variable $subscribed in theme_simplenews_block() to turn on/off the block content.

Hi
Thanks for the info, but I created block-simplenews.tpl.php and tried using the $subscribed variable... but it doesn't seem to be available?
I inserted this into the .tpl to check and it wasn't listed:
<?php print var_export($variables, TRUE); ?>Am I missing something here? Apologies if this is due to my lack of Drupal understanding and not a Simplenews thing...

What you are missing is the override of the theme function. See http://drupal.org/node/55126, under 'How to Name your Override Function'.
A block-simplenews.tpl.php is not required.
