    insert extra field in Newsletter template

    Hi,

    I have a client which has an account with mailchimp for signing up to newsletters. The signup can be done 2 places on the site - in the order checkout or directly on the contact page.

    There is an error when signing up through the contact page as the newsletter signup should include email address and name. The contact page newsletter signup has only one field "Email address". When typing the email adress you are taken to another page where you receive an error that it is missing a name. Then you need to type email address and name and then it works.

    Now my question is: Is it possible to insert one extra field "Name" on the newsletter template that is used for signing up on the site?

    The newlettertemplate code looks like this:

    -----

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/AdidasMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>


    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="InnerContent" runat="server">

        <div class="inner shadow">

            <!-- Banner Start -->

            <umbraco:Macro Alias="TopBanner" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

            <!-- Banner End -->

            <div class="clear"></div>

            <!-- Container Start -->

            <!-- Banners End -->

            <div class="container top-row">

                <!-- Two Third Column Start -->

                <div class="two-thirds column right">

                    <!-- Blog Start -->

                    <div class="heading-top"></div>

                    <div class="blog">

                        <h2 class="heading">

                            <umbraco:Item Field="pageName" runat="server" />

                        </h2>

                        <div class="in-sec">

                            <!-- Post Start -->

                            <div class="post">

    Hi Michael

    Yes that's indeed possible - you just need to get hold of the embed code from MailChimp - It's accessible from the admin panel somewhere and usually it generates a default form with both name and e-mail address. Then it's just a matter of overwriting the part in the code above where it's included currently.

    Hope this makes sense to you.

    /Jan
