Facebook Sign-Up and external subscription form 1 year, 11 months ago #3028

bladavis Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Karma: 0	Hey Guys - Just wondering if anybody knew of a Facebook App for AcyMail where people can sign up for the mailing list directly from your FB Page... Thanks!

Hi

Was just looking for the same - I see there is an app called Static FBML under Facebook Applications and its possible to embed your form code into it (see www.snipe.net/2009/06/fb-fanpages-fbml-box/).

My question is where do I find the embedded code for the module sign-up form on my joomla site so that I may put it into Static FBML and make use if it to generate my mailing list database?

Thanks

Something like that should do the job:

<form action="http://YOURWEBSITE/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=sub" method="post">
	<table class="acymailing_form">
		<tr>
			<td><label for="user_name">Name</label></td>
			<td><input id="user_name"   type="text" name="user[name]" value="" /></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><label for="user_email">E-mail</label></td>
			<td><input id="user_email"   type="text" name="user[email]" value="" /></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><label for="user_html">Receive</label></td>
			<td><input type="radio" name="user[html]" value="0" id="user_html_0" ><label for="user_html_0">Text</label><input type="radio" name="user[html]" value="1" id="user_html_1" checked="checked"><label for="user_html_1">HTML</label></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td colspan="2" ><input class="button" type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="Submit" /></td>
		</tr>
	</table>
	
	<input type="hidden" name="ctrl" value="sub"/>
	<input type="hidden" name="task" value="optin"/>
	<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://YOUR_REDIRECT_URL"/>
	<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_acymailing"/>
	<input type="hidden" name="visiblelists" value=""/>
	<input type="hidden" name="hiddenlists" value="YOUR_LISTS"/>
</form>

This is a simple AcyMailing module with no javascript.
Don't forget to replace:
* YOURWEBISTE by the url of your website (so the form will be sent to your website)
* YOUR_REDIRECT_URL by the url you want the user to be redirected to. Leave it empty if you want the standard redirection
* YOUR_LISTS by your list ids you want the user to be subscribed to separated by a comma (example : 1,3,5)

Please have a look at our official documentation before posting a new message!

If you use AcyMailing, please post a rating and a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

LeopardMan Junior Boarder Posts: 20 Karma: 0	It all seems to work great, it looks great, but I get a 404 error... Probably because I use SEF404...? How can I correct this?

john Platinum Boarder Posts: 10551 Karma: 240	404 error... So it's either because the form is not submitted properly or because the redirect url you specified is not a right one. Is the user added to AcyMailing? What's the url of your form so we can have a look at it?

The first redirect in the code above, immediately at the beginning is: <form action="YOURWEBISTE/index.php?option=com_acymailing" method="post">

When I change YOURWEBSITE to my domain it should be
www.aernoutzevenbergen.co.za/index.php?option=com_acymailing

When I testdrive it in FB, I do end up on the right domain, but with an error that the file doesn't exist. Because I use sh404SEF I wondered if that could cause the problem, in that I might have to edit the address...?

The user is not added in ACY mailing.

john Platinum Boarder Posts: 10551 Karma: 240	I think your website url is www.aernoutzevenbergen.co.za/nomad and not just www.aernoutzevenbergen.co.za Please change your action url to http://www.aernoutzevenbergen.co.za/nomad/index.php?option=com_acymailing

This code can be inserted on any page as soon as you can add some html.

But I have no clue if you can add HTML to your facebook page or not.
I'm not a Facebook user and didn't test this code on Facebook, this is a standard AcyMailing module that you can add on any HTML page.

I thought you could add it on your wall using the "Static FBML" but I may be wrong?
To be honest I have no clue what's the "Static FBML" plugin and if it's for a fan page or a personal one.

Struggled a bit to get Static FBML up as a box on the Wall page, but finally managed it and all is going smoothly. Tx!

I hope other users will help you as I'm definitely not the right person to help you to customize your Facebook page.

bladavis Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Karma: 0	OK Guys - I found an App called "Profile HTML" which you can add to your Profile Page, and use html to add whatever you want. I used the code given by John in this thread and it works smoothly. Brian
