Newsletter subscription form not working

I have this code in the skin1/main/home.tpl file:

Code:



{if $usertype eq "C"} 

                <INPUT type="text" name="newsemail" size="33" value="E-mail:" onFocus="javascript: if(document.subscribeform.newsemail.value=='E-mail:') {literal}{document.subscribeform.newsemail.value='';}{/literal}" class="InputEmail">

              




              [{$lng.lbl_subscribe}]

{else}

{$lng.lbl_your_email}






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






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

{/if}

But whenever anyone enters their email and hits "subscribe" it goes to an "access denied" error page.

here's the weirdness (middle of the page on the left column)

Any clue on how to set up a subscription field? There's only one newsletter called "fractalspin"

thanks!

Hi

Presuming that you have set the news as "subscibable" within news managment, the error is probably a fault in your database.

Check, using phpmyadmin, that the "is_news_subscribeable" flag is not empty.

Also, please update your signature - you say you are on 4.0.14 - but you actually are using v17. Each version is different, has different bugs and problems - thus different fixes and answers. :)

Thanks--I changed my sig.

In which table would I find this flag?

Check in your newslists table that for your message Subscribe is set to Y.

By the way, still saying 4.0.14!!

Changed my sig--it needed a password before and I missed that.

Looks like it's subscribable within the DB:
