Exchange standard newsletter form

[NewBudda]

I would like my own newsletter signup form to appear instead of the oscomm standard one.

Ideally I would like to replace the following code in the

includes/boxes/visitoremail.php:

<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_VISITOR_EMAIL);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('email', tep_href_link(FILENAME_VISITOR_EMAIL, 'action=process')),
						   'align' => 'center',
						   'text' => tep_draw_input_field('to_email_address', '', 'size="20"') . '<br>' . tep_image_submit('button_visitor_email.gif', xxxpost));

 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

 

with

 <form action="http://xxxxxx.cmail1.com/s/4xxxx
		<div align="left">
		 <form action="http://xxx.cmail1.com/s/4xxxx/" method="post">
	  <div> 
		<div align="left">

		  <input type="radio" name="cm-fo-211115" id="cm53436" value="53436" />
		  <label for="cm53436">Herr</label>
		  <br />
		  <input type="radio" name="cm-fo-211115" id="cm53437" value="53437" />
		  <label for="cm53437">Frau</label>
		  <br />
		  Vorname:<br />
		  <input type="text" name="cm-f-211116" id="Vorname" />
		  <br /> <label for="name">Name:</label>
		  <br />
		  <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
		  <br />
		  <label for="l436591-436591">Email:</label>
		  <br />
		  <input type="text" name="cm-43xxxx-436591" id="l43xxxx-436591" />
		 <br /><br>
		  <input type="submit" value="Anmelden" />
		</div>
	  </div>
</form></div>

but it doesnt work. Is there another way of replacing this form so my signups go straight to my newsletter provider?

you could use an include('html_form_name.html') command, using the name of your new html form inside the include. this will insert the code from the .html file at the point the include is within your .php code.

 

but be careful with the <form> tags in your included html file. there are likely form tags generated by the php, and browsers get confused with nested forms. it might be better to just remove the <form> tags from the html and let the php build them for you. besides, you'll want the session id added to your urls, which is only going to happen within the php code.
