How To Add Dadamail Newsletter Subscription Box

[Guest]

Hello!

 

I have installed Dadamail as my newsletter software and I am now trying to add an infobox into my column_right which will allow customers to enter their email address and then when they click submit it adds them to the mailing list. In the Dadamail admin panel it says you can just add the following html code to any webpage...

 

 

<form action="http://www.punkrockcds.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi" method="get">
 <input type="hidden" name="list" value="punkrock" />
 <input type="hidden" name="f" value="subscribe" />
 <input type="text" name="email" value="email address" size="16" onfocus="this.value='';" />
 <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
 </form>



 <p style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">
  Mailing List Powered by 
<a href="http://mojo.skazat.com" target="_blank" style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">
  Dada Mail
 </a>
</p>

 

I guess I need to convert this code into something similar to that in the "search" infobox which looks like this...

 

<!-- search //-->
	  <tr>
		<td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
						   'align' => 'center',
						   'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH, 'align="absmiddle"') . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a>');

 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- search_eof //-->

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Hello!

 

Ok so I think I'm getting there! I've got the subscription field working where you can enter your email address but the infobox isn't quite right. Please can someone take a look at it in the right column of my site (www.punkrockcds.com) and advise where the code is wrong. Here is the code...

 

<!-- newsletter //-->
	  <tr>
		<td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_NEWSLETTER);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

echo "<form action=\"http://www.punkrockcds.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi\" method=\"get\">\n"; 
echo "  <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"list\" value=\"punkrock\" />\n"; 
echo "  <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"f\" value=\"subscribe\" />\n"; 
echo "  <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" value=\"email address\" size=\"16\" onfocus=\"this.value='';\" />\n"; 
echo "  <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" />\n"; 
echo "  </form>\n";


 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- newsletter_eof //-->

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Mark.

The following should do the trick:

 

<!-- newsletter //-->
	  <tr>
		<td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_NEWSLETTER);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('newsl&oumletter', tep_href_link('http://www.punkrockcds.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi', '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
						   'align' => 'center',
						   'text' => tep_draw_hidden_field('list', 'punkrock').' '. tep_draw_hidden_field('f', 'subscribe') .' '. tep_draw_input_field('email', 'email address', 'size="16" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px" onfocus="this.value=\'\';"') . '<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" />');

 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- newsletter_eof //-->

Hello Manfred,

Didn't test the code, but I think you got an idea on how to do it. And as far as I can see, you got the part I've missed fixed by yourself. I hope it works now for you as you expect.
