Usage

There are several ways to use this plugin, below I will describe some of them

Using the default form in pages
Imagen you would have a maillist named “Page Updates”,
When your creating a new page you would add the following tag where you want the form to appear..

[notifyme]Page Updates[/notifyme]

This goes for all maillists, just add the tags with the name of the maillist inside them.

Creating a form inside your templates
When your creating a form inside regular templates there are several things you have to do,

• The method of the form should be “POST” and the action should always be: “notifyme.php”
• You should always include the following fields, be it as input box, selection, checkbox.. no matter:
  • maillistid
  • naatan_notifyme_name
  • naatan_notifyme_website
  • naatan_notifyme_email
  • submit_notifyme_subscribe

The maillistid is the ID of the mail list and should definitely be set, you can get your mail list ID
from the main NotifyMe page, where the maillists are listed.

naatan_notifyme_ - name / website / email.. I don’t think I need to explain this

submit_notifyme_subscribe is what the script uses to verify that the form has been submitted and
should always be set, preferrably in the form of a submit button.

For some examples check further below

Maillist Selection list
When your using the template method you can use a selection box to have the user select which maillist
he wants to subscribe to.. this is usefull when you want to use something like a “Notify me of updates for..”
section.
Simply add the following in your template where you want to receive the option variables..

<?php naatan_notifyme_maillistselect(); ?>

Usage Example;

<select name=”maillistid”>
<?php naatan_notifyme_maillistselect(); ?>
</select>
