Morning guys

Whats the easiest way of creating a simple page for collecting email addresses as part of a competition entry?

#2

Do you need a separated page, like 'Contact us' one, just to subscribe your customers?

#3

As part of the comp entry, customers are going to need to enter their email address. I'm guessing it will still need an opt out option. I don't think you can use "Must Opt-In" as a stipulation for a competition entry?

So yeah, Im going to make a Competition Entry Page.

Opt in/out requirements vary by jurisdiction. generally it's a policy rather than a law.

You would need special handling of your form to determine whether to add the customer to a mailing list or not based on whether they have an 'opt-in' field checked or not when the form is submitted.

I just want to create a page with a box for the customer to input their email address (that then goes into the email db of my website) and a tick box whether or not they want to opt in or out....

This is what I've managed to do so far, but the button doesn't seem to do anything.

Great news!

Try to change form name, for attribute and id on input. Looks like cm-email class does not work due to duplicated ids

I'm not sure what that means. But in the time its been running (a few hours) its collected about 40 emails :)

I mean that the real-time email verification does not work (like the "Track my order" input in the My account block)

Ok thanks Aleksy, I'll have a look into that. I've copied the code for the email entry from the newsletter subscribe button the bottom info bar.

I have a bigger issue though, that page isnt responsive for some reason?

Please switch WYSIWYG editor to the Source code mode and remove width attribute from all tables in the content and add ty-table class to them
