Newsletter subscription - front and centre of the page

Hi,
I've installed my first site, and and finding my way around things slowly with the help of add ons and this community!
But this escapes me - i want a page ( Ez-page i assume ) that has a paragraph of text, and then a field and button to allow subscription to my newsletters. I have Newletter Subscribe v 2.1.1 installed, and on the left column. But i want one page where it is front and centre ( as well on the left). Can i duplicate the Subscribe sidebox in the centre of an EZ-page?

This mock up demonstrates basically what i am after...

I new this might be a newbie question, but that is what I am - i think i have just missed something basic along the way...

Thanks in advance!!
Ian

Re: Newsletter subscription - front and centre of the page

Forgot to mention, I am using v1.3.9h, and Newletter Subscribe v 2.1.1.

Maybe i just need a pointer to a FAQ on how to embed any layout box in a EZ page?:blink:

Re: Newsletter subscription - front and centre of the page

Ok, I did this before for a client - I did it on my test site which is current ZC version. I know I got information on how to do it in the forum but can not find it now.

Here is a link

If this is what you are trying to accomplish I will try and help by telling you what I did. Involves an add on and changing some code to ZC file and Add On

Re: Newsletter subscription - front and centre of the page

OK, I found the original post on how to do this:

follow steps

when you get where it says this

ensure that a fresh version on fckeditor is installed on your site by downloading DIRECT from fckeditor site (
then in editors/fckeditor/fckconfig.js

Download from Add Ons

to add you newsletter subscribe:

insert

<? include ("/home/YOUR_NAME/public_html/includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/subscribe.php"); ?>

Thanks :clap:

I followed those steps, and can get it to work. Asking the questions that match the answer you get is something that is interesting, in retrospect!
