CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I am trying to set up an "opt-in" system for a book author's web site similar to the one on http://www.easywebautomation.com/.

This asks visitors to provide their name and email address, and in return they will be sent an email confirmation directing them to a web page where they can download a pdf e-book. This page, by the way is NOT password protected and could be accessed by anybody that knew the URL.

On the cmsmadesimple site I have set up http://www.winsloweliot.com (0.13 "Canary") I have created a "Member Log-in" using Frontendusers-Self-registration-customcontent latest versions. Unfortunately, this requires the user to create a username and password in order to gain entry to the protected page and this is not what the client wants. I am also having issues setting this up which I'll detail in another post.

I was thinking of using newslettermadesimple, but this module only collects the email address, last time I looked at it.

Is my only option to create a basic form that collects name and email and sends an auto-response?

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks

FeedbackForm module will let you get a request for url in email then you can send it to them...
each form has it's own customizable 'Thank you your form has been submitted' page which could have a link to the page...
they fill form, submit, and the link shows up...
nothing on your end required and you will get email of who is getting the pdf e-book...
of course you can have it not send you an email and just let them have the link...

Thanks Mark. Sounds good. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, this worked fine!

which way did you do it?
is it emailing to you or just giving it to them?

I made a new class for the feedback form that allows you to send an email to the user based on a form feild and also send you a copy if you want as well so that may work for this kind of case. I made it becuase the compay I work for wanted to have send to a freind god nows why

You can also use it with the email from method that allready is there

Now  I just have to work out how to get it uploaded and tested in the forge

I am just giving them the stuff on the "thanks for submitting" page. This is just a way to collect names and emails
