Looking for a way to send an email AND signup to a list
« on: March 12, 2007, 08:36:09 am »
I want to be able for a user to submit a form to me that sends me an email which includes a lot of text (say 255 characters in it) in one or more of the fields, and also subscribes that user to one or more lists. I know how to do one or the other, but not both.

Greetings,

This is possible however the long string of text will be stored in the database
twice, once on each list.

As of v1.87d each custom field can hold up to 65535 characters.

To bypass ListMail you could use your own custom script then at the end use a custom insert script for each list.  In case of subscription to 2 lists, I would do the first one invisibly then forward the user to, for example:
Code: [Select]
http://example.com/mail/signup.php?fname=$custom_FN&lname=$custom_LN&email=$custom_EM

As long as you urlencode the names and trim the email address the user should be brought to the subscribe confirm or success page.
