Newsletter Mail Lists Form Setup
A mailing list (newsletter) form is included in some Allwebco templates. The mailing list script for this form is included with all Allwebco hosting accounts. The following directions show you how to set this up and create a subscribable mail list (newsletter) in your Allwebco hosting control panel:
With Allwebco cPanel Hosting Accounts:
Setup a working email that is the name of the mailing list you plan to create. Example: list-name-here@your-web-domain.com.
Login to your cPanel control panel and click on the "Mailing Lists" icon under the heading of "Mail".
Follow the instructions to add a mailing list.
The list email will be the name you choose for your list. Example: list-name-here@your-web-domain.com.
In the template mail list form find this code:
http://your-web-domain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi
Replace that with this code using your domain and mail list name (Notice the underscore between the list name and domain name):
Step 1:
This step can only be done if your template includes the newsletter form. This form is setup to use Allwebco hosting. Edit the "sidebar-right.js" or "sidebar-right.htm" and change the var "your_domain" near the top to your domain name. The form included in your template is now ready to go.
Step 2:
Login to your hosting control panel at "http://your-domain.com/cgi-bin/plusmail". Choose "Mail Lists" on the menu. Choose "create new maillist" and give your maillist a name.
Step 3:
Once you complete the step above, click on the link "Subscribable Mail Lists". Choose your new maillist in the box, Then fill in the "Add/Edit Subscribable Mail List" area. For more help with this and complete instructions on how the maillist works, check the help in your control panel, or, click here to open the Allwebco hosting manual.
Turning the mail list form off:
To not use the mail list form: Edit your "sidebar-right.js" and change the "var newsletter" to a "no" near the top of this .js file, or edit your "sidebar-right.htm" and delete the code for the form.
If you do not have Allwebco hosting:
If you do not have Allwebco hosting you can either convert the form in the "sidebar-right.js" or "sidebar-right.htm" with your newsletter code, or you can switch off the form at the top of the "sidebar-right.js" or delete the code in a "sidebar-right.htm".
Notes:
If you do not have Allwebco hosting. Talk to your hosting company and see if they offer a mail list program or, if you have a cgi-bin and can install any mail list cgi script. Any form can be added to the .js files. Click here for help with adding items to a .js file.
