    Different kind of Constant Contact subscribe box

    I have been so spoiled by the simplicity of the Sebenza Constant Contact module being able to add a contact directly to the appropriate list, I thought there was an easy way to also do this with the subscribe box you add to a site. The HTML snippet that CC gives you send you to a popup screen and you have to make choices from there. For some reason, I thought there used to be a "simpler" version that you could submit directly to a Contact List (like the Sebenza module lets you do). I can't seem to find any such thing.

    Hi Leslie,

    To my knowledge, the CC subscribe that Sebenza provides actually hits the CC API in the background. You'd need a similar module for your CMS (presuming you're not using Miva Merchant 5 otherwise you'd use Sebenza's module)

    best,

      Just trying to put a subscribe box that signs up to a specific list on an HTML page.

        Does the site run Miva Merchant at all? If so make it a "Page", you can get Sebenza's CC module to run on any page in a miva site.

            Hi Leslie,

            It should be CC i.e.

            <input type="hidden" name="Action" value="CC" />

            You can use a ConstantContact module from Sebenza. Sebenza supplies it for free. For every new store, you will need to get a compiled module from Sebenza. Constant Contact module is store specific.

            Thank you,
            Ben

              Hi Ben,

              Thanks, I'll give that a try and report back. And yes, the store IS using the Sebenza Constant Contact module.

                Re: Different kind of Constant Contact subscribe box

                That didn't seem to work either. The email address I tried to subscribe with didn't get added. I did verify that the email address was not already subscribed.

                Here's the code I am trying to use:

                Code:
                <form method="post" action="&mvt:global:secure_sessionurl;">
                <input type="hidden" name="Store_Code" value="&mvte:global:Store_Code;">
                <input type="hidden" name="Action" value="CC" />
                <input type="hidden" name="Screen" value="SFNT">
                <input type="hidden" name="ConstantContactEmail" value="1">
                <input type="text" name="ShipEmail" size=25 value="">
                <br />
                <input type="hidden" name="ConstantContactList[1]:ic" value="WOMAN">
                <br />
                <input type="submit" value="Subscribe">
                </form>

                  Oh.. that's not good!

                  Here are few points which you can confirm:
                  1. module should be compiled for this store from Sebenza
                  2. Under System Extension > Constant Contact , user name and password should be working

                    The module is installed and working perfectly via the OCST Checkout: Customer Information > Customer Fields. So obviously, everything is configured correctly. I'm trying to get it to work "outside the box" on a screen other than checkout as prescribed in the configuration sent by Scott.

                      Hi Leslie,

                      can you try this field:

                      <input type="text" name="BillEmail" size=15 value="&mvte:global:BillEmail;" >

                        I can, but if I recall correctly the module uses the Shipping email address.

                          I've tried both...neither the &mvte:global:BillEmail; nor the &mvte:global:ShipEmail; render on the screen.

                            Ben, thanks for all your suggestions. It looks like the Constant Contact module has stopped working. I've opened a support ticket with Scott.

                              I'm on the Sebenza website and there is no link to download the Constant Contact module - there is a page describing and linking to Constant Contact but I don't see a link to the module itself. Am I crazy or just so tired that I don't see it? http://www.sebenza.com/company/constant_contact.html
