hello

 

you can do it with code like:

<form action="ADDRESS_TO_YOUR_HOMEPAGE_HERE" method="post">
			<p>
				<input class="inputNew" id="newsletter-input" type="text" name="email" size="18" value="Your email address">
				<input type="submit" value="ok" class="button_mini" name="submitNewsletter">
				<input type="hidden" name="action" value="0">
			</p>
		</form>

replace: ADDRESS_TO_YOUR_HOMEPAGE_HERE with url to your homepage / shop

 

 

but remember that your newsletter module must be active.

 

 

 

btw. why not to use blocknewsletter form?

Thanks for your help, your code work successfully and it does post the info correctly to the newsletter email/

Question could you help me with some user feedback? instead of just posting the form back to the main page, can their be some feedback prompt popup msgbox to the user that the email has been registered?

 

thanks.

Actually do i need to put form action url of home page, because i dont want the page to reload? the email is still stored successfully.

HI again, so how would i use the block newsletter in the html box .. cant figure it out, i am sure i am missing something simple,...

it is possible, but in this case you will have to modify a lot of things.

if you want to display popup - you will have to add fancybox libraries to each page of your store (frontController modification)

it will be necessary to modify the template file to open fancybox popup window after "success" (adding email to newsletter)

it will not be as easy as it seems, unfortunately.
