Adding a PHPLIst subscribe box???

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi,

I am using PHPList for my newsletter and am trying to add a subscribe box to blog but not having much succes.

I am not sure if I can use the script as it does not seem to do anything..

Thanks

JOhn

The code for box is:

<!-- newsletter subscribe below here -->

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
var fieldstocheck = new Array();
fieldnames = new Array();
function checkform() {
for (i=0;i<fieldstocheck.length;i++) {
if (eval("document.subscribeform.elements['"+fieldstocheck[i]+"'].value") == "") {
alert("Please enter your "+fieldnames[i]);
eval("document.subscribeform.elements['"+fieldstocheck[i]+"'].focus()");
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
function addFieldToCheck(value,name) {
fieldstocheck = value;
fieldnames[fieldnames.length] = name;
}
</script>

<form method="post" action="http://www.selectyourprice.com/list/?p=subscribe" name="subscribeform" target="_blank">
Email:<input type="text" name="email" value = "" /><br />
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">addFieldToCheck("email","Email Address");</script>
Confirm your email address:<input type="text" name="emailconfirm" value = "" /><br />
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">addFieldToCheck("emailconfirm","Confirm your email address");</script>
Name: <input type="text" name="attribute2" value = "" />
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">addFieldToCheck("attribute1","Name");</script>
<input type="hidden" name="list[2]" value="signup" />
<input type="submit" name="subscribe" value="Subscribe" onClick="return checkform();" />
</form>

<!-- newsletter subscribe ends here -->

And your evo version is ...?
And your adding it by ...?
And your error/failure is ...?
And the url where this problem can be seen is ...?

Sorry, my crystal balls a smidge upset with me since I kicked it when it failed to predict the lottery numbers last week ... but, I'll take a guess at admin > users > [click group] > allow script && any other stuff that rocks your boat > click save

Ohhh, and language="Javascript" was deprecated a fair tad ago ... I normally avoid any and all snippets that have that included ;)

Sorry I just upgraded to the lasted stable version that I downloaded today.
I was using version 1 something so I was way behind times lol

Was adding it as a post. Not sure if this is the correct way.

No error showed just that the script was not working. Its supposed to just to make sure you enter and email address and name before you submit.

I don't have it on site as since it was not working I took code out.

Don't really do much programming outside of VB so was not aware of it.

Thanks for the help...

You can add the script in a few ways, I'd probably slap it in the sidebar by using the freehtml widget ( admin > blog settings > [blog] > widgets > add new widget )

If you wanted to put it into a post then you would need to change your group settings like I posted above.

If it still fails after that then post a copy of your pages html ( where it fails ... ohhh, and use [code]<!-- your code -->[/code] tags, I go dizzy when pages get to long ;) )
