Newsletter Form with only Email address?

Report · Jan 21, 2013

Hi guys

I would like to add a Newsletter Subscripiton form without the Name and Last name fields.

http://kinship.businesscatalyst.com/About/about-us

The subcsripiton field is at the bottom footer.

When submitting the form I get an error:

"ERROR: An error occurred. Your web form must capture customer name and email address. Please fix this issue and re-insert your web form on your web page."

I don't want the name just email. Is it possible?

When I try to create a new form those fields (Name, Last Name and Email) are automatically added and there is no way to delete them.

Thanks

Micha

Hi Micha,

You need to use newsletter Subscription form. Insert it using the Module Manager. Standard forms have to have a name field.

Thanks Mario,

I wish we wouldn't have to add names. A better UX is to use email since Newsletters are usually generic and only require an email.

In Any case BC must change there Dynmiac Forms. The use of Tables is insane and the fact that each update requires inserting the form again is very odd.

Back to work now...-(
