Newsletter Made Simple Module

[SusanN]

Hello,

I have a question about this module and I'm not quite sure where to post it.  I put it in the HTML/CSS forum the other day but I haven't received a reply.  Maybe I just stuck it in the wrong place?  Here's what I wrote:

I was wondering if someone could tell me if it's possible to use an image to invite people to sign up for a newsletter rather than have that form right on the page?  If so, would I link the image to a new page where the form can reside?  And if all that, is it possible to hide the newsletter sign up page from the rest of the site's navigation?

I've searched and I'm just not seeing what I need.

I'm using cms ms version 1.2.3 and nms version 1.0.3.

Thanks for any ideas!

I'd love to figure this out since it's for a client.  Thanks!!

Edit to add:  This is what I need it to look like.  And the site I'm working on is pla yma nia ta mpa.com .

Create a page, put in content the module code and in Option tab uncheck view in menu.
Edit your page with image and link this (with orange palm icon) to new page create.

Thanks so much!  It seems pretty straightforward.  I'm still trying to learn my way around cms ms.  I'll give it a go!

I'm back with another question.  I've looked at the template for this form and the source of the page once online and I don't see how to style it.  I have this form:  pla y man ia tamp a.com/newsletter which has the same form id as this contact form:  pla y man ia tamp a.com/contact-us . 

I'm not exactly sure what to do in this case.  I would love for the newsletter sign up form to match the contact form....

I'm just curious...  Would it make sense to add some html to the subscribe template?

Code: Select all

{if $message ne ""}
	<br /><span class="nms_message">{$message}</span><br />
	{/if}
	{$formstart}
		{$formhidden}
        {if $prompt_email ne ""}
		{$prompt_email}: {$email}<br />
        {/if}
        {if $prompt_username ne ""}
                {$prompt_username}: {$username}<br />
        {/if}
		{foreach from=$listids item=curr_id}
		  {$curr_id}<br/>
		{/foreach}
		{$submitbtn}
	{$formend}

Like maybe I could put a div around it so I can target the form to style it.  I've looked and looked and I just can't figure this out.

If you search in forum you discover that this is a tip 

{$formstart}
............
{$formend}

Believe me, I searched and searched and I never ran across that.    Thanks for the hint, Alby.
