I am creating a registration form, and would like to allow users to opt-in to the newsletter. I have gotten that basic function to work, but would like users to have the ability to select which lists they would like to be signed up for. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

In chronoform I guess you forced the field "hiddenlists" to a fixed value.
Instead of doing that, you should enter in the Params/Field map:
hiddenlists={hiddenlists}

And then create a checkbox in ChronoForms with the name "hiddenlists" and the checkbox should have your list ID as value.

That way if the user checks the box the user will be added to Acy and subscribed to your list
And if he does not check the box, the user will be added to Acy but not subscribed to your list.

Hi Adrien,

Thank you for the response. I get that you are offering a way to assign a checkbox to 'hiddenlists'. Is there a way to associate a checkbox with different lists? I have several lists for the website, and would like to have several checkboxes. I am not sure of what to enter to achieve that.

Yes, you can replace our hiddenlists parameter by a series of checkboxes.
They should have the name hiddenlists[] with the list ID as value for each list (each checkbox)

Hi Adrien,

I guess I am a little confused about where to add the value (list ID) to the form. Here is my checkbox form code:

< div class="form_item">
< div class="form_element cf_checkbox">
< label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">I want newsletter< /label>
< div class="float_left">
< input value="2" title="" class="radio" id="check00" name="hiddenlists" type="checkbox" />
< label for="check00" class="check_label">List 2< /label>

And in the CURL params I have:

'hiddenlists' field: "hiddenlists[2]"

and the extra fields data:

ctrl=sub
task=optin
hiddenlists={hiddenlists}



I'm sure I have something wrong here, or am missing something... I am just not sure what.

Hello,

The form should be:



And then keep your default extra parameters:

Hi Adrien,

Should I have any data in the 'hiddenlists' field?

I'm not sure I understand your question...

Please check my example, I provided you with the code you should get.
I'm not familiar with chronoforms so I'm not sure how to set it up exactly.

Hi Adrien,

I have attached a screenshot. Under 'Field names from your form' there is a field titled 'hiddenlists'. Should I have anything entered there?

Ok you're using the old version of chronoforms... that's why.

So yes, you should add "hiddenlists" next to that field and you should delete the line "hiddenlists={hiddenlists}"

Hi Adrien,

I am sorry to be such a pain. I did as instructed, and am still not receiving results. Knowing that I am using an older version of chronoforms, is there any data that I am missing?

Please turn ON the chronoforms debug mode about the curl option so we can see what's submitted and how.

$params: JParameter Object ( [_raw] => debugging=0 target_url=http:// header_in_response=0 onsubmit=before_email [_xml] => [_elements] => Array ( ) [_elementPath] => Array ( [0] => /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/parameter/element ) [_defaultNameSpace] => _default [_registry] => Array ( [_default] => Array ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [debugging] => 1 [target_url] => www.seabirdadventure.com/join-now/news-letter [header_in_response] => 0 [onsubmit] => before_email ) ) ) [_errors] => Array ( ) )

Isn't there a special debug for the curl method?
The provided information don't help...

Hi Adrien,

That was the special debug for the curl method. Just so you have all information, this is my current code:

<div class="form_item">
<div class="form_element cf_checkbox">
<label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">I want newsletter</label>
<div class="float_left">
<input value="2" title="" class="radio" id="check00" name="hiddenlists[]&quot; type="checkbox" />
<label for="check00" class="check_label">List 2</label>
<input value="3" title="" class="radio" id="check00" name="hiddenlists[]&quot; type="checkbox" />
<label for="check00" class="check_label">List ID 3</label>
<br />
</div>
</div>

I have attached a screenshot of what I am getting for CURL debug along with my settings.


*Update, I received this info:

cf_CURL debug info
$curl_values: user%5Bemail%5D=ck.conant%40gmail.com&hiddenlists=Array&ctrl=sub&task=optin&=
$params->target_url: www.seabirdadventure.com/join-now/news-letter
$ch: Resource id #135
CURL response:

The html code is valid and the params are the one I would have entered myself.
I think there is a way to add a debug mode on the form itself so then when you try to submit the form via the front-end, you will see the executed curl method with the submitted parameters... this is what I'm looking for.

Hi Adrien,

The updated text from the previous reply was from the CURL debug code upon submit of the form.

Hi,

Isn't it possible to update ChronoForms on your website?
I believe it would be easier to implement and test.

Hi Adrien,

I have updated to the latest version of chronoforms, and followed all instructions, and when previewing the form, I receive the following:

Notice: Undefined index: {name} in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30 Notice: Undefined index: {email} in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30 Notice: Undefined index: sub in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30 Notice: Undefined index: optin in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30 Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30 Notice: Undefined index: in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30 Notice: Undefined index: {hiddenlists} in /home/seabirdadventure/public_html/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/curl/curl.php on line 30

Sounds like you should rather get support from ChronoForms than from AcyMailing...
