starxox Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hey allAs I'm sure you all know, building mailing/email lists is very important in ecommerce today. I've been trying to find a decent mailing list sign up module, but the best I can find is one that merely takes the email address. This is not enough as we need to be able to add text to entice people in, and also take their full name so as to customise emails.I've had a very reasonable quote from a module developer of £60. However I can't actually afford that so I asked them would they drop the price if I could find more people to come in with me and they said they would. Not sure how much the price drops per person but if we get a few it should be very cheap.So please write here if you are interested in this.Thanks!Louisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'd be interested. I am about to start looking for one myself, or modifying the default one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starxox Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks to both of you for your interest, we will see if anyone else is interested too.Delonix - sorry but I'm not quite sure what you mean. I've looked at what you've linked to and it doesn't seem to be relevant to a newsletter/mailing list module. Can you explain it in more detail?Louisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I solved this myself fairly easily, once I thought it through. I downloaded a freeHTML module and then just pasted in some code and ran it through FormMail.cgi. Most hosting has something like FormMail and it can often be installed through the control panel.I installed Free block v1.1 ( http://addons.prestashop.com/en/front-office-features/412-front-office-features-free-block.html ) then used the following code<FORM action=http://www.XXXXXXXX.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi method=post><INPUT type=hidden value=iXXXXX@XXXXXXX name=recipient> <INPUT type=hidden value=members name=subject> <INPUT type=hidden value=This name=title to person wants join The List> <INPUT type=hidden value=http://XXXXXXXXXXXu name=redirect> JOIN OUR NEWSLETTER EMAIL LIST Be among the first to find out about new products and promotions.

starxox Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Wow thanks for that Matt, I know nothing about coding so could never have done this, but with this information hopefully I can do it. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
