TABLE OF CONTENTS › Un/Subscription Forms
Postmaster utilizes the Zem_Contact_Reborn [ZCR] API to allow the use of that robust plugin’s capabilities. You set up a ZCR form as you would any other [see the ZCR documentation for more on this]; the only difference between a regular contact form and a Postmaster form will be the name values you assign to particular fields in the form.
Here’s an example subscription form:
<txp:zem_contact to="youremail@yourwebsite.com" >
<txp:zem_contact_text name="zemSubscriberName" label="Your Name:" />
<txp:zem_contact_email name="zemSubscriberEmail" label="Your Email:" />
<txp:zem_contact_select list="default,test" selected="default" name="zemSubscriberLists" label="Your List:" />
<txp:zem_contact_text name="zemSubscriberCustom1" label="Your Favorite Color:" />
<txp:zem_contact_checkbox label="This is not Spam. " />
<txp:zem_contact_submit />
</txp:zem_contact>
This form will:
- Send a subscription notice (ie, an email that so-and-so subscribed) to whatever email address you enter
- Display fields for Subscriber Name, Email, and Favorite Color, a dropdown choice for what list to subscribe to, and a checkbox that is required as an anti-spam method
The subscription form is truly customizable. Styling is carefully worked out by the folks over at ZCR — see the ZCR documentation .
I suggest reading the ZCR documentation thoroughly, and taking advantage of all the tag attributes you can.
Proper “name” values are important — the possibilities are:
name="zemSubscriberName"name="zemSubscriberEmail"name="zemSubscriberLists"name="zemSubscriberCustom1"name="zemSubscriberCustom2"name="zemSubscriberCustom3"name="zemSubscriberCustom4"name="zemSubscriberCustom5"name="zemSubscriberCustom6"name="zemSubscriberCustom7"name="zemSubscriberCustom8"name="zemSubscriberCustom9"name="zemSubscriberCustom10"name="zemUnSubscribe"name="zemDoSubscribe"
