Putting subscribe to newsletter in front page slide show

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi!

Is there a way for me to add a subscribe to newsletter on the frontpage slideshow. It is two columns where on the left there is an image and on the right there is text. I would like to put it beneath the text of the second column.

Thanks

Hi Evyenia,

Nobody has asked this before

I think it would be unlikely to work given the javascript required in the signup / subscribe together with the functionality of entering data

For a subscribe you would need some kind of security feature to control signups together with validation of the data inputted

Also to factor in would be the js running in combination with the slideshow

By way of a workaround you could use a link button from zentools to open a subscribe page, then return to previous page on submit.

Hi Paul,

I managed to do apx what i wanted by splitting the grid of the boarder area via thememagic and adding two modules in the banner area side by side instead of one. Because of the background image it looks interconnected. That way i have both the slideshow and the subscribe module in one area!

Hope this makes sense :)
