Hi, i was trying to figure out with no succes how to use subscribe.cgi so people could subscribe to one of my custom mailing lists that i have setup in the admin control panel.

Any kind of help would be appreciated. Regards, Ross.

Hi,

If you make a form that submits to:

subscribe.cgi?list=LISTNAME&email=email@address&action=subscribe

it will work. Pass in action=unsubscribe to unsubscribe from the list.

LISTNAME should be the name of the custom list.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks for your reply. I have made a form that i have pasted below and i have made a Custom list named LISTNAME , just as a test. When i press submit it just takes me to the subscribe.cgi page and doesn´t subscribe any addresses to the custom list. Do you know what i am doing wrong?

<form action="http://www.ultracosta.com/cgi-bin/subscribe.cgi?list=LISTNAME&email=email@address&action=subscribe" method="post">
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="submit" name="Submit">
</form>

Thank you for your time.

Regards, Ross.

Hi,

Try:

<form action="http://www.ultracosta.com/cgi-bin/subscribe.cgi" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="list" value="LISTNAME">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="subscribe">
Email: <input type="text" name="email"> <input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>

Cheers,

Alex
