Title: Question Regarding Custom HTML
Post by: cwboaze on January 10, 2006, 05:52:30 pm

Hi Listmailpro,

I am building my site, and am in the process of building
the sign up for the newsletter.

I am wondering about the "Alternately, enter a URL to forward the user to"
function.

how do I represent the tags of !fname (firstname)

Can I do this and it work!, if not how do I make it work.

Put the following url in the alternately url to forward:

/index.php?fname=!fname&lname=!lname

would this work??? with your system.

I have not went through the test, I want to ask first.

then I have my index.php, $get those tags and so them on the
page.

I am trying to do this to stop me from having to re-create my
page for the custom html to insert.

Thanks,
CB

CB,

At this time it is not possible to forward message code data to Custom HTML redirect URLs.  

The easiest way to create your Custom HTML could be to do a "View Source" on a page loaded from your web site.  Copy and paste the source into Custom HTML, making sure the paths are all relative (or absolute) to the proper folder(s).

There is also a way of tricking the signup process into loading a PHP page with signup-xtra.php.  You would then use the PHP variables to output the users' name, not message codes.  I did it here (try a signup): http://lmhost2.com/tour/clientdemo

Hi Dean,

I have noticed a few things lately. One thing is today I
setup everything correctly.

1. I have all my custom html forwarding to certain pages,
I use all but the unsub-confirm html. I leave it blank.

2. Everythings works AWESOME by email, because of the
one click and delete function. So it does not hit the unsub-
confirm page but the unsub-success page.

3. here is the problem. I wanted to put on my site a subscribe
page with unsubscribe right under it. Well, ok. until I tried it out,
it display the unsub-confirm page. ok, great. I then placed the default
html code in which comes with ListmailPro and it DOES not show
the !button. What's up!?????, I tried this over and over,
and I could not get it to show up the !button.

I have not tried anything else, is there some advice you can offer.

note, when i put !button in the custom html of unsub-confirm, it
display !button on the page instead of the button to click.

Thanks,
CB

I haven't been able to recreate this, I:

1) added a user to a test list
2) used the "Signup Code" page to create a form with the Remove option.
3) used the form to unsubscribe

Please make sure that the default "!button" code in "Global Codes" is set up and set to the type "Remove Confirm".

Regards
