Double opt in for mailing list subscription (confirm email)

I have searched the forums here and can't find an answer for my problem. I have tried multiple Joomla newsletter & mailing list subscription modules/components but still no success. Hopefully this is something that this amazing program is capable of doing.

I need a form that people can sign up for an email newsletter with the following fields:
[list]First name
Last Name
Email Address
Zip Code[/list]

Once the user fills out the form and submits it, they receive an email that requires them to click on a link that confirms their email address. All of the data is then stored in a database that can be exported and used for mailing lists.

The Joomla newsletter programs do not allow me to add a zip code to their subscription forms, and I can't find a way to get the email confirmation step with ChronoForms. I'm not much of a programmer but with some good instruction I can manage.

Any suggestions???

Hi bkmacdaddy,

the email confirmation feature is scheduled for the coming release of Chronoforms, no timeline is set for this release, however its already in the labs, but I didn't start at this feature yet, if you are in rush and willing to pay to get the feature prepared and get a pre official release to solve your problem then let me know!

Cheers,
Max

Thanks for the reply. I am in a rush but unfortunately unable to pay, so I guess I will continue to look elsewhere. It's unbelievable to me that there is nothing available with this capability.

Great product, though! Thanks!

No problems, you can check here back in a week or though, as soon as the features are ready a new release will come out.

Cheers,
Max

Dear Max,

This email-confirmation is indeed very interesting. Please inform me whether this is now already implemented (and if so, how it works), or whether it is still pending... (and if so - what the estimated introduction timing is...)

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Fishhead...

Hi Fishhead,

The new version is not own yet and so this is not ready yet!

Regards
Max

Hi Max,

Can you confirm now the double opt-in email confirmation feature is already released? if so, in which version I can download it?

Hi mus1402,

It's been in ChronoForms v3 for a year or more and is also in ChronoForms v4. Download the current versions from the Downloads link above.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any tutorial showing us how to set the double opt-in feature? If so, can you please send me the link?

Many thanks

Hi mus1402,

I don't know of any tutorials on this specifically - please check the help tabs in the plug-in/action.
