Hi I wish to do the following with a single form: the customer can send a message using the contact form, and if he checks a checkbox, than he will be subscribed to our newsletter using SM2 Marketing.

For this I have created this form:

<div class="form_sx">
Nombre:<strong> (*)</strong><br />
<input name="name" type="text" class="text" size="30" id="nombre" />
<br />
E-mail:<strong> (*)</strong><br />
<input name="email" type="text" class="text" size="30" id="email" />
<br />
Asunto:<br />
<select name="subject" class="text" id="asunto">
<option value="requiero mayor información">requiero mayor información</option>
<option value="favor cotizar proyecto">favor cotizar proyecto</option>
<option value="interesado en instalar">interesado en instalar</option>
<option value="otro">otro</option>
</select>
<br />
</div>
<div class="form_dx">

 
Teléfono/celular:<strong> (*)</strong><br />
<input name="telefono" type="text" class="text" size="30" id="telefono" />
<br />
Ciudad:<strong> (*)</strong><br />
<input name="ciudad" type="text" class="text" size="30" id="ciudad" />
</div>
<div style="clear:both; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px">
Texto:<br />
<textarea name="message" cols="" rows="" class="textarea" id="mensaje"></textarea>

<br />
<input name="boletin" type="checkbox" id="boletin" value="1" checked="checked" />
 Deseo recibir en forma gratuita el boletín mensual de noticias .<br />

 <input type="submit" class="puls_form" value="Enviar" /> <input type="reset" value="Cancelar" class="puls_form" />
 <br />
 <br />
 <strong>(*)</strong> Campos obligatorios. </div>

If boletin=1 then I would like to run the following javacode

I believe I would have to remove the form stuff and only leave the javascript to be executed, but not sure how to go around it. Unfortunately I do not know any javascript if I have to make changes in the code. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I don't have an idea about SM2 marketing But, I think you should run some piece of PHP code in the onsubmit after email box in chronoforms to check if the user has the checkbox checked, and if so it will add him to the newsletter database, how do you achieve this with javascript ?I see you have some HTML code in the javascript but not sure how do you expect this to run, do you have more info/specs ?

Max

Well, the html code from the js would have to go, this is from the SM2 module template. What I would like is to include this Javascript or equivalent php to accomplish what this template is doing onsubmit. I think it would work if I use the same input names in my Chronoform as the jscript, but like I said, my programming abilities are ... nonexistent.

Hi jitteryjack,

I think the best way is to concatenate the SM2 code to the main form HTML code, then once form is submitted you check with PHP if that checkbox is checked and if so use PHP to insert this user details as a subscriber, regarding the code itself this should not be hard if you can search in the SM2 code but I have no idea about that and so cant help with the code itself, sorry!!

Good luck!!

Max

Love this !! Did you resolve it, its a verry good idea.

Would love to do the same.


Best wishes / Z

Hi Zentring,

Iam not sure if this code is really adding a user to the newsletter, I guess it just shows a subscription form, you can have the code shows in another page then make a redirect after form submit OR you can run PHP code to insert a subscriber!

Cheers

Hi,
Actually I was trying to use the code from the newsletter form to be run by chronoforms. I think its not difficult to do, but my javascript skills are at a copy paste level, so I didn't venture into trying to modify the code.

I am sure a more experienced user could make it easily work.

Hi jitteryjack,

Iam really not aware about the subscription process but what I understand is that we need more than JS to add some user to the newsletter database!! or at least some other form must be completed ?

Sincerely,

Max
