Thread: Mail Chimp Signup Form Implementation Help

Hi I've added a Mail Chimp Signup Form to the left column in the Template.Master and the form shows fine but it won't send the entries to my MailChimp account. BUT if I test the form locally (outside of asp.netstorefront environment) it works.

Here's my code:
<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<div id="optin">

<form action="http://youropticalshop.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=4731e962eb05d5f9a80c7d991&amp;id=09b84324a4 " method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank">

<h2>Join our Newsletter</h2>
<p>Receive exclusive offers, special deals &amp; newsletters.</p>

<input type="text" SIZE="11" value="Enter your name" name="FNAME" class="name" id="mce-FNAME"
onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.val ue='';"
onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value=this.defaultV alue;">

<input type="email" SIZE="11" value="Enter your email" name="EMAIL" class="email" id="mce-EMAIL"
onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.val ue='';"
onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value=this.defaultV alue;">

<div id="mce-responses" class="clear">
<div class="response" id="mce-error-response" style="display:none"></div>
<div class="response" id="mce-success-response" style="display:none"></div>
</div>
<div class="clear">
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button">
</div>
</form>
</div>

<!--End MailChimp Signup Form-->

Please help

What version of AspDotNetStorefront are you running? In MSx you cannot use a form within the master template - because it already contains a form (form within a form issue).

If your are running Msx (v9+) try this:

1. Place your mail chimp code snippet in a topic and name it "mailchimp"
2. In your template, place this code where you want the form to appear:

HTML Code:

<iframe src='t2-mailchimp.aspx' frameborder='0'
width='250px' height='100px' allowtransparency='true'></iframe>

You will want to play with the width/height to get it looking right. The reason we get the topic without the template is the "t2-" prefix instead of the "t-" prefix. This renders the topic content without the skin.

On top of embedding a form like above, we have a full MailChimp API integration that will sync your customer signups (from the cart) directly to MailChimp so there is no disconnect between your cart customers and mailchimp lists!
