Use of other forms
« on: February 21, 2006, 09:49:33 pm »
I need more flexiblity for my forms. Is it possible to use another service that provides forms online vai there server to collect those users and store them back into Listmail? or should i just use the other site until you guys have more flexiblity. Please see http://www.mycontactform.com under premuim membership.

I really to need to resolve this as when i bought the ListmailPro I thought I would be able to do such things. The flexiblity I am referring to is:

-To able to make any field a required filed,
-To be able to not just a choice of a drop for which mailing lists, but a dropdown list for anything I want and or radio buttons for anything I want.

As far as i can tell none of this stuff is available and make ListMailPro not very business to business friendly.

Regards,

Hi Steve,

You may be able to use mycontactform.com as long as you can define the form 'ACTION' (script target, which will be ListMail's signup.php on your site), and define a text field named "email".

This is still lacking in ListMailPRO's featureset and is long overdue.  Be assured, custom fields being able to be required will almost certainly make it into the very next update.  For the meantime I recommend checking if custom fields are entered with JavaScript, such as recommended in this post.

You can currently have up to 10 custom fields for each list.  These field values can later be searched in order to send to "sub-lists" of users with "User Selection".  We will be expanding the program to facilitate unlimited custom fields in the near future.

We can refund you for up to 90 days, so please take your time.  Let us know if you will be discontinuing use of the program and you will receive a prompt refund.
