CMS Made Simple Forums

Is there available a simple module to let the user subscribe to a newsletter? THE NMS is quite complicated for my needs: I need the user just inputs his email, and the system stores it in a list I can use to send the news..

Please look for it here

But I'm very often there and think there's nothing like this.

But maybe you can take such a simple php script from anywhere and use it via userdefined tag ... or you embed something via iframe.

What do you mean with NMS is to compilcated. If you call NMS with th eoption subscribe, all a user has to add, is an e-mail, and optionally, if more than one list exists, choose the newsletter he wishes to subscribe to.

Yes, thanks. I have better studied it and now I am testing...
Some problems with the message composer, thou

To send a html-file, you must setup a template without the {content}, this must be replace by {$message_text}, this is shown in the text, while composing a message.

Did it, Ron, but it won't work. Look at this thread: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg53944

If you just fill a name, a valid mail-address and a subject-line (don't change the mail-content), do you then also get the error?

Be aware that the settings in the "preferences" tab must be correctly filled as well, being the admin-mail.

Yes. It didn't work even with just default inputs. One question: what is the "Return Page"? It is un-grayed only in "None HTML message"  mode.

In my version it's ungray all the time? I'm running NMS 1.0.1 on CMS 1.0.2.

If you choose your template as HTML-template, so change the default, further change nothing except, the 3 fields (user, mail, subject). That works for me, I just installed a clean NMS to test it.

I am running CMS 1.0.4, maybe this is difference? For the rest, I made exactly your steps.

If you want I can PM you a login to my test-site, so you can check it over there.

Ronny

I believe you!
If that's not a prob, I will test. Thanks.

Rnny, I have found the trick.
Sniffing into the code, I have found a line that wasn't correct.

else if( $templateid == -1 )
  {
    $this->smarty->assign('message',$this->Lang('error_formerror'));
    $error = true;

Just changed the "-1" with "0" and now it is working!

very good, strange though that it works on my version.

Probably it is related to the CMS version (I have 1.0.4) and how it handles templates id's
