subscription forms

[TerenceWatts]

I want to add a subscription form to one of my pages - I know it can be done but it doesn't work if you simply enter the 'form code html' in EZ pages.

It needs to link to an autoresponder which is hosted on a different server.

Anybody know how to do this?

Can you create a html file that you manually load on the server where ZenCart is that works?

[TerenceWatts]

Yes - I've done that but it doesn't work once it's 'live'. It worked on my old site, which was an HTML site, but this new one is a dynamic site running under php and it doesn't seem to behave in the same way.

A web server will serve up a proper file as form_name.html and why I asked.
If you can not code a straight html file to function then adding code that does not function to an ezpage will also not function

What I coded has worked on other sites perfectly well, so it functions - or perhaps I am misunderstanding what you mean? I've added the form to a page via EZ pages, using HTML, and it actually works from within the admin module - but not on the site itself.

Does this same form work on this site as a stand alone page - NOT inside of the ZenCart framework but just as an straight html file??

[TerenceWatts]

Yes, it does, as it happens. So I think it will have to stand as a separate page - not ideal but at least it will work!

Thanks very much for your input.

If it does, then you should be able to include the code in a ezpage or a define page and have it function.
Try posting what you are adding to your ezpage

Interestingly, I now have it working in one of the EZ pages as a test! Same exactly as I entered before but this time it works... the code is:

<form method="POST" action="http://www.prohypnotists.com/cgi-bin/arp/sub.pl">
<p>Email address<br>
<input type="text" name="email" size="30"><br>
Name<br>
<input type="text" name="fname" size="30"><br>

<input type="hidden" name="task" value="subscribe">
<input type="hidden" name="list" value="SelfHypnosisFiles">
<input type="hidden" name="language" value="eng">
<p><input type=submit style="BACKGROUND: #800080; COLOR: #FFFFCC; FONT-WEIGHT: bold" value="Subscribe"></p>
</form>

Watch what editor you are using and syntax - a coma or one missing item can cause havoc....
Glad you worked this out
