Hi Guys

 

How do I capture Newsletter subscribers in DNN?

 

I of cause can do it as a general registration, or through the feedback module.

 

But are there a simple Name and E-mail – subscribe form available?

 

 

Thanks!!!

I've used the Feedback Module for that.  Use some CSS to set display:none for the message part of the module.  The email from the user gets sent to an address you choose.  You can get the email addresses from that.

Thanks Craig!

But can you please elaborate a bit, or tell me if I’m on track.

 

Firstly; is there a DNN/.css that manages the module settings?

 

If so, do I need to do a new class for the Modules “Subject” and “Comment”?

 

 

I downloaded and opened a feedback module, which didn’t have a .CSS file.

 

I found in “ViewComments.ascx” that lblsubject and lblMessage has the CSS Classes “subhead” and “Normal”.

Is this the label only, or label and textbox?

 

Anyway, I borrowed a skin.css, stuck it into the module and renamed it “feedback.css”. I cleaned it up a bit, and make sure it has a “subhead” and a “Normal” class with “display: none;”

 

However, without andy pointer to “feedback.css” it’s not going to work??

 

 

Sooooo?

What about removing them in the “.ascx” files?

Can I then install the modified module under a different name?

 

?????

 

Thanks a lot!!!

I wouldn't do this in the module.css file.  It's better to use portal.css, which you can manage from the Site Settings page (edit stylesheet).  Or, you can just put this in the module settings.

On the site to which I referred, this is placed in the module header:

< style >
#plEmail{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr556_LiveContent_ctr544_Feedback_plBody_label{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr556_LiveContent_ctr544_Feedback_txtBody{display: none;}
<  /style >

You can use the Web Developer's Toolbar as shown in Troubleshooting DotNetNuke Skins to identify the IDs of the items you want to make disappear, or you can look at the page source.  By making them specific to the module instance, they won't affect anything else.

Sorry Craig – still Struggling.

 

You can see I stuffed up something when I tried putting code in the Module Header.

(Disregarding the wrong ID.)

 

You will find the correct ID attached in the TXT-file.

On the top some attempts to build the CSS class.

 

I can hide all labels or all Textboxes.

But I can’t get the specification right for individual items.

 

Cheers….

Oops.  You need to remove all of the spaces between the < and > of the opening and closing style tags.  I put those in so that the forum software wouldn't think that the are tags.

The CSS is really fouled up! 

You have id references inside of classes ...

Try to match what is in the styles that I posted ...

THANKS!!!!
www.aaff.com.au/wink

Does this look better:

#dnn_ctr906_Feedback_txtSubject
{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr906_Feedback_plSubject2_lblLabel
{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr906_Feedback_plSubject2_cmdHelp
{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr906_Feedback_plBody_lblLabel
{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr906_Feedback_plBody_cmdHelp
{display: none;}
#dnn_ctr906_Feedback_txtBody
{display: none;}

Seem to be working anyway:
www.aaff.com.au

However:
The Module still requires a message - and there's no text box.
How do I get rid of that?

I have 2 feedback modules on the same site, they have different ID number but are still linked.

Can I seperate them some how?


Cheers
