Hey Pippin,
Very awesome
One question… after users subscribe it’d be good to tell them that it was successful and they’ll receive the verification email.
Obviously this can be easily achieved by just creating a page that says this and redirecting them there, but how could I have it so that as well as just redirecting the user to the home page, it has the standard mail chimp pop-up saying that the email has been received and that they need to confirm the email they just received? Better yet, a nice AJAX solution would be cool
I added that notification in the official plugin I wrote.
hi pippen
Please help me that how i can add additional fields with every post when i am writing the post?
I don’t think I understand your question. Can you give an example of what you’re trying to do?
mean that when i creating the post there should be two additional fields where i enter the some data in integer form?
No there are not fields for that. This plugin doe not send emails when posts are published.
Hi Pippin,
In the pippin_check_for_email_signup() function, instead of just redirecting user back to home page, how can I redirect and trigger a lightbox notification or maybe append some successful text below the input box?
after
wp_redirect($_POST['redirect']); exit;
I just do not know how to trigger a javascript when the redirect back to home page, like a modal (from Twitter Bootstrap) can pop up say “success!”. The function do not pass anything back. And I have no idea how to trigger JS via just URL.
Something simple can be after successful submit to mailchimp, the page redirect back and a new success right underline the input box. (If it fail, it return the error message?)
Thanks!
On the success page, check for the “success” query parameter and then echo some inline javascript to trigger the modal if it is present. Make sense?
Then my question will be how to check for the “success” query parameter? Will this be in the function pippin_mailchimp_form? Is there an example I can follow after? The trigger of modal will be
$(‘#myModal’).modal();
So will the echo will be:
echo (‘ $(‘#myModal’).modal(); ‘);
??
Thx!
Yes in that function. You can use this:
