Static Page for Newsletter subscribe-unsubscribe

Thank you for that suggestion. I can normally figure out a way to do the open window via javascript, just didn't know what/how to pull the results into it, so that was helpful!! Designer here, and not a programmer, so those code things will always challenge me.

I just installed and 'somewhat' customized my first xcart, and love the functionality it can have. Adding the cart to an existing site (a redo for SEO purposes) had it's own set of challenges- hence needing that open window thing for the newsletter signup off the cart.
And nice to see a "neighbour" on the list, too!

I modified the shopcart/skin1/news.tpl to this version below:

Code:

<TABLE>

<FORM action="{$xcart_web_dir}/mail/subscribe.php" name="subscribeform">

<INPUT type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{$redirect}">

<TR>

{if $usertype eq "C"}

<TD class="VertMenuItems">To subscribe to the newsletter, enter your email address and click "Subscribe".



{$lng.lbl_your_email}

<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 3px;">

</FONT><INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="16">

<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 5px;">

</FONT><FONT class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_subscribe}</FONT> <INPUT type="image" {include file="buttons/go_image.tpl" full_url='Y'}>

</TD>

{else}

<TD>

{$lng.lbl_your_email}






<INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="16">






{include file="buttons/subscribe_menu.tpl"}

</TD>

{/if}

</TD>

</TR>

</FORM>



<FORM action="{$xcart_web_dir}/mail/unsubscribe.php" name="unsubscribeform">

<INPUT type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{$redirect}">

<TR>

{if $usertype eq "C"}

<TD class="VertMenuItems">To be removed from our newsletter subscription, type in your email address and then click "Unsubscribe".




  {$lng.lbl_your_email}

<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 3px;">

</FONT><INPUT type="text" name="email" size="16">

<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 5px;">




  </FONT><FONT class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_unsubscribe}</FONT> <A href="javascript:document.unsubscribeform.submit()" class="VertMenuItems">

  <INPUT type="image" {include file="buttons/go_image.tpl" full_url='Y'}></A></TD>

{else}

<TD>

{$lng.lbl_your_email}






<INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="16">






{include file="buttons/unsubscribe_menu.tpl"}

</TD>

{/if}

</TD>

</TR>

</FORM>

</TABLE>

Just to let you know that if this is on the main page to the left, no one can register as a new user !!!!!!!

You have to delete the unsubscribed section as the field it uses "email" is used for the register of an account.

So here is the version with unsubscribed deleted.

Code:

<TABLE>

<FORM action="{$xcart_web_dir}/mail/subscribe.php" name="subscribeform">

<INPUT type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{$redirect}">

<TR>

{if $usertype eq "C"}

<TD class="VertMenuItems">To subscribe to the newsletter, enter your email address and click "Subscribe".



{$lng.lbl_your_email}

<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 3px;">

</FONT><INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="16">

<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 5px;">

</FONT><FONT class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_subscribe}</FONT> <INPUT type="image" {include file="buttons/go_image.tpl" full_url='Y'}>
