Hi,
You might like to have a look at these extensions:
http://github.com/pilu/radiant-newsletter/tree/master
http://github.com/nelstrom/radiant-subscriber-lists-extension/tree/master
I wrote the subscriber_lists extension to gather email addresses
through a form on the website. It is basically a simplified version of
the newsletter extension (which is much more ambitious). The
newsletter extension also allows you to send emails to all of the
email addresses that you gather through the form. At the time I tried
it out, I was unable to make rails send email using a googlemail
address, but I think that might have been fixed since.
Both of these extensions are quite out of date, so they might need a
bit of work to get them working with the current version of Radiant. I
think they worked fine on Radiant 0.6.9.
I don't intend to update the subscriber list extension. If anyone
would like to take over it's maintenance, that's grand. For myself, I
would always choose to let a 3rd party deal with subscriber lists in
the future. The likes of MailBuild (http://www.mailbuild.com/) offers
code snippets that you can include in your templates. I recommend that
you try them out.
Cheers,
Drew

Hi, i'm trying to write a simple extension to store emails, that
users can
entry thru the newsletter form in one of the default templates.
So i changed the snippet newsletter to something like that:
<div class="box"> <h3>Our Newsletter</h3> <form action="/newsletter/
send"
method="get"> <input class="email" value="Enter your email address..."
type="text" id="email" name="name" /> <input class="subscribe"
type="submit"
value="Subscribe" /> </form> </div>
my route at my extension.rb is something like:
define_routes do |map|
map.connect '/newsletter/send',
:controller=>'newsletter',:action=>'send'
end
As a test i tried to call my controller/action like that:
http://localhost:3000/newsletter/send?email=vpere...@web.de
It didnt work, my controller is like that:
class NewsletterController < ApplicationController no_login_required
#skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token def send #...@news =
Newsletter.find_or_create_by_email(params[:email]) @news =
Newsletter.new(params[:email]) @news.save flash[:notice] = "Your e-
mail was
added to our newsletter" redirect_back_or_default("/") end end
Questions:
1) I cannot use a normal form syntax in my html?
2) I cannot access the params at my controller?
Thanks!
