Needing help. I have a coming soon page up and I have ONE box where a user will enter their email and hit a SUBSCRIBE button. I have a mailing list set up inside cpanel and I want it to add their email to the mailing list automatically. How do I do this?
Just making sure I am understanding correctly. You have an option in the CP to subscribe to your mailing list, and I also assume you give them the option when they sign up, but you want them to be added automatically?
If so I'm wondering if that is such a good idea? Many people want to participate on a forum without having their inbox flooded with email. Not saying it's spam, but a lot of people simply don't sign up for the newsletter because they don't want to read it.
No. This has nothing to do with a forum. Its a website.
I removed the page, but what I want is a mailing list and a text area and a submit button on a index.html page where a user may type their email and click submit and when I got to send out an email to the mailing list, it will mail to all who submitted their emails.
The easiest way would be a cron job, if that's even possible. You would have to research on Google about how to do it as I have no idea how to do anything with the cron in cP.
No, I'm quite sure you can't accomplish with JUST html. You are definitely going to need either cronjob or some other php script automating it for you.
I came across http://launchrock.com/ today and it reminded me of your question. I haven't used them so can't personally recommend them, but perhaps they can provide the solution you need Chris?
