Email Subscribe/

Hi,

Can I get advise on how to place a 'subscribe to our newsletter' box on my pages, and automaticially send them the newsletter? Is it just a simple form?

Hello Marty..

Yes it is, you can create and manage the mailing list via your CNC, (http://yourdomain.com/CNC/ezmlm.cgi) then simply visit the following to create the code:

Thanks,

In both examples, you're missing a space between the method and the action...

Paul thank you for your reply.

I have followed the link provided, followed the steps shown using Telnet, and edited the editor with FTP as instructed.
Then completed the simple form for my cide.

Pasted this to a page and uploaded it to test.
Nothing happens. The SEND button is not active.

I don't know much about these forums, but I notice that the code starts as:

<form action=&quot;/cgi-sys/ezmlm/SelfServ.pl&quot;method=&quot;post&quot;>

While my form for brochure requests has this:

<form method=&quot;POST&quot;action=&quot;http://206.58.39.236/cgi-bin/mailto.exe&quot;>

This may be nothing, But I can see the directory I made with the correct title.

Any ideas..

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your reply, however I do not understand!
Can you detail what is missing and where as one has form method - form action.

This is working fine:
<form method=&quot;POST&quot;action=&quot;http://206.58.39.236/cgi-bin/mailto.exe&quot;>

This is not:
<form action=&quot;/cgi-sys/ezmlm/SelfServ.pl&quot;method=&quot;post&quot;>

Many Thanks

Marty

Should be:

<form method=&quot;POST&quot;*space here*action=&quot;http://206.58.39.236/cgi-bin/mailto.exe&quot;>

and

<form action=&quot;/cgi-sys/ezmlm/SelfServ.pl&quot;*space here*method=&quot;post&quot;>

The fact that one of them works without the space is just one of those things. It shouldn't really!

John &amp; Dan thank you,

Another quick question.

When a subscriber hits the send button a 'mailform' appears.

Is there a way to customise this? or even add a BACK button?
I have tried to find this mailform but have been unable to.

Cheers

I haven't actually used the packaged signup form, but looking at it in the past, it appears more complicated and less flexible than need be.[nbsp][nbsp]Feel free to try the following:

I think you'll find it much mo' simple.[nbsp][nbsp]:)
