www.normanwillis.org My new site seems to work fine with IE7, Chrome, and Opera. However, IE8 seems to break the skin. Without the Aweber signup form, everything displays fine in IE8. However, with the Aweber signup form installed, everything above the base of the Aweber form (including the form itself) gets pushed to the right hand side of the IE8 browser window. Aweber suggested that "Line 17 contains a lot of style formatting." However, why would it display fine in Chrome, Opera, and IE7? My developer wants to move the signup form to its own page, but that does not give the required functionality, because I need visitors to be able to sign up readily (on a whim). What is the source of the problem in IE8? Has my developer coded the skin to IE8 standards? I need to send out emails via Aweber (or some other dedicated email server), because my ISP limits me to 150 emails per hour. My developer is not cooperating, and I really need help. Thank you for your excellent service. Norman

Looking at the source code, the code for aweber is in form tags, you can not add any form tag code to a DNN page because DNN already places form tags around the content in a skin and you are not allowed to have form tags within form tags.

I would be suprised if the signup form works in any browser.

Have a look and see if aweber provide any other signup code that does not use form tags, such as a script code.

Or, the best way to get around this is to use a 3rd party module such as DataSprings Dynamic Forms, we have covered this in these tutorials and we show you how to set it up with aweber:

• DataSprings Dynamic Forms Quick Start Guide
• DataSprings Dynamic Forms Question Events
• DataSprings Dynamic Forms Data Management
• DataSprings Dynamic Forms Completion Events
• How to Create an Email Opt-In Form with a Third Party Email Service (AWeber) using DataSprings Dynamic Forms

You probably can do it, though, in a custom module.  You'd have to create the form in the module and then "post" the right kind of query to Aweber.  In other words, you'll have to repeat in code what the form and post does in html.

Lee, Joseph, thanks. If I use the Opt-in Email workaround that Lee is suggesting, does it send out the emails through Aweber? Or through my server (MochaHost)? And about how long would it take a developer to study up on, and implement this? Norman

Using Datasprings dynamic forms, it sends the details directly to Aweber, so it is using the services of Aweber and Aweber will be sending all of the e-mails.

How long? the time it takes to watch the videos (the time lengths are listed on each tutorial page) and probably an hour to implement on your first attempt, once you get used to datasprings dynamic forms it is easy to setup and would normally be a 30 minute task, complete with styling the form boxes.

Hi Lee.

Sorry for the long response time. We are hoping to get organized to try this.

Thank you for your excellent service.

Hi Lee/Joseph,

I ran out of time, and hired a developer. He is trying to add the Dynamic Form module in conjunction with Aweber as described in your video tutorials. After debugging the dynamic module, it tells him the email address is not a valid format:

My developer wants to know which email address Aweber is talking about, and what needs to be done to address the issue.
Thanks,
Norman

I don't see any "to" email addresses.  Is that what is missing?

Hi Joe.

I'm in the middle here. I just renewed my subscription. Is there any way I can have my developer log on, to speed up the process? I'm basically just in the middle, and it is adding time. It would really help.

My developer (Aky) wrote:

I am refer to that section

>>"I don't see any "to" email addresses. Is that what is missing?"

As per your tutorial there is no "to" field need to set on Dynamic form when integrating with aweber module. For that section there is no "to" field need to set. Is need to check with Aweber Web form configuration section. Is something need to set on Aweber Web Form part to check?

Please let me so we can configure and use Dynamic Form Module and Aweber module section.

Thanks,

Can you post what code you have entered into Dynamic Forms for the HTTP Completion Event for the

post URL

HTTP Post

and also post the HTML code that was provided by Aweber for creating your form

(It will probably be best to zip them up and attach them to your forum post so that the forum does not change the formatting of the code)

Have you also tried submitting the form using a different email address?

Hi Lee,

-Aky here

Thanks for you support!!

Yeah i did tried it with other email address as well and same error message i recieved. When i bind the Aweber code directly to HTML page and then try to submit. That time it showing on the Aweber newsection( it works). So problem seem to be the HTTP Post action section of Dynamic Part.
Thanks,
-Aky

ok, attach to the forum post the info I requested above from the module and I will have a look, thanks,

Hi Lee,

Thanks for you support so far!!


I am attaching the details specification and Error code i m getting.

HTTP Post URL: http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl

 

HTTP Post: &meta_web_form_id=1696073154&listname=normanwilliseng&redirect= http://www.aweber.com/thankyou-coi....dtracking= NormanWillisEngWebForm& meta_message=1&name=$(Name)&from=$(Email)

Since the aweber code working fine when i enter aweber code in HTML page. So just issue with the post method of dynamic? Or something we missing with the settings.




Hope to have quick word with you.



Thanks,
-Aky

Hello,

I just tested submitting a form to aweber as I noticed some of the parameters have changed and it still works ok.

&meta_web_form_id=1948359850&listname=dnncreative_tes&redirect=http://www.aweber.com/thankyou-coi.htm?m=text&meta_message=1&name=$(Name)&email=$(Email)



Looking at your HTTP code I think you may have spaces in your code, remove all spaces - it should be one continuous line of code

&meta_web_form_id=1696073154&listname=normanwilliseng&redirect= http://www.aweber.com/thankyou-coi.htm&meta_adtracking= NormanWillisEngWebForm& meta_message=1&name=$(Name)&from=$(Email)


for example I can see a space here after the &:
NormanWillisEngWebForm& meta_message
