Adding A Constant Contact Form?

[tricia]

I want to have a link on all of my pages that goes to a page with a form that automatically adds into the constant contact email list I have designated in the back office. Is this possible?

I want to capture all of the fields for address, city, state, phone, etc that the checkout does - I figure I could make the form something like this (but this does not work) Do you know what the names of the fields should be to make it work like the check out will capture??

<form id="newsletter_form" action="https://#####/newsletter.cgi" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" value="#####" name="storeid">
<table id="newsletter_tbl"><tr>
<td id="newsletter_field">
First Name: <input type="text" name="newsletter_firstname" value=" ">
Last Name: <input type="text" name="newsletter_lastname" value=" ">
Address: <input type="text" name="newsletter_address" value=" ">
City: <input type="text" name="newsletter_city" value=" ">
State: <input type="text" name="newsletter_state" value=" ">
Zip: <input type="text" name="newsletter_zip" value=" ">
Email Address: <input type="text" name="newsletter_email" value=" ">
Phone: <input type="text" name="newsletter_phone" value=" ">
</td><td id="newsletter_submit"><input type="image" src="http://####/store/media/en-US/buttons/defaults/SignUp.gif" align="top" border="0" alt="Sign-up">
</td>
</tr></table>
</form>

Thanks for any help you can give.

There is no way to pass form data such as name and address from a page outside of the shopping cart to the checkout screen in the shopping cart.

You should use the Merchandising > Constant Contact fields to enable the input box so that someone can signup for emails from your store.

ON AN UNRELATED ISSUE I would delete your user account (which contains your email address) for this forum and create a new one. Forums are often scanned for email addresses and when found they are added to lists that are sold to spammers.

Thanks Jim - will do.

This would be a nice feature upgrade?

It would be very complicated to do because it would involve changing all cgis that have anything to do with customer registration or the shopping cart/checkout process. It would also change how publishing is done since the form data would need to be kept from an html page which is usually not done.
