Hello all,

I have created a subscription form to register on the newsletter lists. Is there a way to publish this form on other pages, for example in the sidebar?

greets,
Nico

i managed to show the form on other pages by putting this in the pagecontroller

function ShowForm(){
      $get = DataObject::get_one('UserDefinedForm', "URLSegment = 'subscribe'");
      return new UserDefinedForm_Controller($get);
   }

and this in page.ss

<% control ShowForm %>
    $Form
<% end_control %>

However the available newsletter lists checkboxes are not included, does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

seems i was a bit hasty, this does the trick

function ShowForm(){
      $get = DataObject::get_one('SubscribeForm', "URLSegment = 'subscribe'");
      return new SubscribeForm_Controller($get);
}

correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldnt a simple $ShowForm in the .ss template be sufficient? I cant see the need for the control?

using a simple showform throws an error

"Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'fortemplate' does not exist on 'SubscribeForm_Controller'"

Interesting, i should have tested it before opening my big mouth!

What about $Showform.Form ??

Ive done this on a site before, ill have to dig up the code when i get back to work. I know there isnt much point if your method works, but im just interested thats all!

nice, that worked too, much cleaner, thanks for the tip :)

I would like to include the newsletter subscription form to my Homepage. I have tried the previously mentioned ways but cant seem to get it to show. I noticed this in my Page.ss file - $Form -. I copied and pasted this to my HomePage.ss file and nothing.

I am not sure of the solution. I am new to Silverstripe. If anyone has any ideas that would be great thanks.
