How to use a command link in an extended form?

[allerhand]

I want to build a small separate form within my cms with the ability to get the newsletter. So i thaught i can use the commands to lead somebody trough this process.

But how do i have to build the form that the "email_addr" automatically will bet catched by the link?

thank you
best regards

Look at the forms in the '/lm/html' folder, they actually do that.

Ok, thank you. It works with an extended Form (Chronoforms / Joomlacomponent) with curl.

But there is one point. I've got "somebody%40somewhere.com" instead of
"[email protected]" in the url.
In the chronoforms-Forum they told me i need two more lines of code in the mlm script with urlencode().

Any idea?

Thank you
Chris

The url encode doc is available here. Do you plan to use that in the PHP code of the page?

I thaught i had to use this in lm.php?
The MLM Script doesn't work with

lm.php?cmd=subscribe&list=testlist&email=somebody%40somewhere.com

so i have to change it somehow. Do you have an idea?

Thank you
Chris

I am not familiar with that but I though what you wanted to do what encoding the URL calling MLM in the subscribe form, am I wrong?

Ok. Solved.

This code around Line 576 in lm.php

$email = urldecode($email);

and it works.

BTW: Is it possible to have other parameters with the link?
For example the filenames?
like
lm.php?cmd=subscribe&list=testlist&[email protected]?lastname=Miller?firstname=John

Thank you

Yes but the right syntax is:

lm.php?cmd=subscribe&list=testlist&[email protected]&lastname=Miller&firstname=John
