RE: Simple Web Signup Form -Reply

Below is a sample of another *.WWWTPL I have in place. The key is making sure that the variables used by Listserver are at the very beginning of a line and in the same order as you see here. I usually design the page in a page editor, paste the message variables in the correct place, and replace the header with that from the top of the *WWWTPL.

>>> LAYOUT-data all layout customization variable go here
+SE JOIN_URL http://listserver.digitalriver.com/softwarehouse.htm
>>> SUBEDIT-MAIN Authenticated subscribe/leave, main page
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" background="/images/bg21.gif">
<title>Join the SoftWarehouse News!</title>
<big><big><center><h1>Thanks for visiting the SoftWarehouse News subscription page!</h1></center>
</big></big>

Chris,
Thanks a lot. Please send me a sample. I'm reasonably good
with HTML, and can ususally manage the wwwtpl scripts. So I
expect to be able to make appropriate modifications here. But if
you have helpfull comments, please include.

Mike-

I think I have what you are looking for.

We use our server to run hundreds of different newsletters, each
on
sites with very definite looks. I have developed a very simple web
form
that we use for many of these sites and have experimented with
different
layouts. It asks for only email address (required) and a name
(not
required), and has a single subscribe button. I have wrapped it
up into
a simple web form that people can just paste into their page.

The *WWWTPL is really quite easy.

Feel free to contact me for samples.

I need a template for a very simple web based list signup.

It would be placed on a web page announcing the establishment

of the list, and subscribe the user ONLY to the specified list. It
would have <input> tags only for "email address," and "full
name," and use default settings for all options. After it "submits"
the two fields, I would like wa.exe to return only a short one
sentence acknowlegement .

I am assuming I'll need to create some very special *.wwwtpl
scripts to control the returned "acknowlegement page. Can
anyone give me guidence?
