Hi.

I want to use third-party service to manage my email list of subscribers. So I have to use a specific "action" attribute and some specific <input> tags. But I nave no suggestion where should I put them?

Re: Email list management

Hi,

To do a form post to another site or a different page than the current one you would have to make a custom feature using the same technique explained in the PayPal Buy Now Button article for the same reasons discussed there. Use an <asp:Button and set the postbackurl property to the url you want to post to. You cannot do it just using the Html Content Feature.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Email list management

This article describes how to make a custom feature using VS and source code. But I use the pre-compiled deployment package of mojoportal. How can I make a custom feature in that case?

Re: Email list management

Please read the article fully and carefully. The article does not require Visual Studio, the example code in the article can be put in a text file and saved with .ascx extension (as it says in the article). A Text editor like Notepad can be used, the example uses inline code so there is nothing that needs to be compiled in VS.

It does require some knowledge of ASP.NET development to make even a simple custom feature. If you make mistakes you will need to look in the mojoportal log for logged errors to figure out the problem, whereas using VS one can debug problems more easily.

Re: Email list management

I've understood at last  :). But in the article there is only an installing for the source code. To install a custom feature for the pre-compiled deployment package you should copy your .ascx file into /Modules folder.

Re: Email list management

I'm still solving my problem :).

So I have the following code of a subscribe form:

<form action="http://xxxxx.ru/subscribe/process/?rid[0]=Site_News&doneurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2FDefault.aspx" method="post" target="_blank" id="subscr-form-3570" onsubmit="return jc_chkscrfrm(this, false, false, false, false)" >

<style type="text/css">

…

</style>

<table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"><tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="lead_name" type="text" onblur='if(this.value=="") this.value="Input your name"'  onfocus='if(this.value==" Input your name") this.value=""' value="Input your name"/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="lead_email" type="text" onblur='if(this.value=="") this.value="Input your e-mail"'  onfocus='if(this.value=="Input your e-mail") this.value=""' value=" Input your e-mail"/></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="lead_subscribe" type="submit" value="Subscribe!" /></td>
        </tr></tbody>
    </table>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://madeinexcel.justclick.ru/media/subscribe/helper2.js.php?r=first"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">jc_setfrmfld()</script>

</form>

I understand I need to transform it into a ModuleControl, It should include 2 <asp:TextBox> and 1 <asp:Button>.

I should specify the PostbackUrl property of the button. Should it be the value of the action attribute of the form above? And what about other attributes of the form and the button click event?
