I am finalising the new front page of my test site for a client and need to add a signup to newsletter form within the flow of the page. I have tried adding the following code taken from a previous post:
```php
Submit e-mail address to receive free updates and promotions:
```
and have also added the {literal} tags before and after the tags. But for the life of me I cannot get it to add the email address to the subscribers list.
Can anyone shed any light on this, as its pretty much holding up me selling this cart to my client and you guys getting the licence money...

The forum isn’t monitored by CS-Cart, and all users you see on the forum are developers or store owners
I was hoping one of the people on this forum might be able to shed a little light on this as the cs-cart helpdesk are not looking to help as I am running on a trial key and want me to purchase the software first.
TBH, if this is the attitude towards new forum members that they are now actively encouraging to signup then I’ll probably just move over the development of the site to PrestaShop which is looking like a much better option for both cost and support.
So, thanks in a way for saving my client the £200 of purchasing the cart…
Good luck attempting to run any type of “real business” on Prestashop. Sure it is “pretty” out of the box, however, with the limited payment & shipping processors it has integrated, makes it rather difficult to gather & process orders!

Struck, you are probably right but they do appear a bit more enthusiastic on the forums.
Thankfully, my client has now decided that she doesn’t want people to subscribe from her custom built front page any way so CS-Cart is still the main choice of application for her site.
It would have been a nicer welcome on board though to get some insight rather than a go f^&% yourself and speak with Support ? I thought communities were here to help other…

I agree, you just have to know that Jesse is also a “Rocket Scientist” during his day job (totally serious) thus he gets a bit stressed out at times ! You will soon, however, find that he is one of the 1st ones to jump in & assist people!
I can assure you someone from this forum would have most likely soon provided you with some further direction.

A) I said contact the CS-Cart helpdesk; with considerations to what you required. I didn’t say go **** yourself, but since you seem to want that go ahead.
B) You have not purchased a license so within reason you could just be wasting my time in order to secure your clients contract. I beared no anger or frustration in my post and so don’t believe that to warrant such a response.

If you belong to the community than Yes, if you are just another developer without a license than it’s up to the individual. If this was posted in another forum than I would have answered it already.
The code is below; just stick that line in any TPL that you require the customer to add themselves to a mailing list.
Mailing lists are required prior to embedding the code otherwise it won’t display. If you over-ride the display parameters, the AJAX prompts will still require a mailing so don’t bother trying unless you really want to.
Mailing Lists URL
i.e. /admin.php?dispatch=mailing_lists.manage
Add the following code where ever you require it. This will be required to be posted on the page. in question. Smarty cannot be embedded into the WYSIWYG editor.
