How to move block newsletter

By viewing the following guideline, you can change the position of block newsletter from 'left' to 'right', 'footer' to 'header' or 'right' to 'left' more easily.

The changes are all carried out within the layout.xml located in app\design\frontend\default\your theme\layout\newsletter.xml

1. Move block newsletter from 'left' to 'right' or 'right' to 'left'

 You just change the reference name from ‘left’ to ‘right’,  or ‘right’ to 'left'

<default>

<!-- Mage_Newsletter -->
<reference name="right">
<block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="right.newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"/>
</reference>
</default>

2. Move block newsletter to 'footer' or 'header'

Fistly, you change the reference name to 'footer' or to 'header'

<default>
<!-- Mage_Newsletter -->
<reference name="header">
<block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="header.newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"/>
</reference>
</default>

Then, go to: /app/design/frontend/default/your theme/template/page/html/header.phtml
       
And call:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('header.newsletter') ?>    to move block newsletter to header

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('footer.newsletter') ?>    to move block newsletter to footer
