Anyone Use phpList?
I've got phplist up and running no problem, but I wanted to turn it into an autoresponder. Apparently, there's a mod that will do this and I've have downloaded the files needed. My problem is there are no instructions on what to edit, and the files are very confusing. I guess whoever did it never heard of Modx.
Also, I'm not sure how to imbed the form into my web page. It looks like all I can do is style the subscribe page to look like my site. It would obviously be easier to just imbed the form.
If anyone has any experience with this script, I'd appreciate some direction on either of these two issues.
Thanks.

Re: Anyone Use phpList?
Do you even know what PHP is, and how it works?
While you think about that, here's how to embed your form:
inspect the html source of the rendered form page
You should see the opening form tag, with an action attribute
If the action is blank, a slash or non existent, then the action will be the url of the page you are on, else it will be some other url
copy this url and the method (GET or POST, if none supplied use GET)
Copy the rest of the form fields
With this information you can now build the form anywhere on your site, or any other site if you use the fully qualified version of the form action URL.
So rather than embed the existing form, you're just cloning the job of the form and putting it where you want it to be

Yes I know what PHP is. Not sure if I need to know exactly how it works.
Thanks for the form help. I never thought of doing it that way.
