I’m trying to create a subscriber list from each of the links in my landing page below. I have no experience coding, so please explain in a way that tells me exactly what I need to do, where I need to past code, etc. I need the buttons, and several links on the page to link to my mailchimp signup form. How do I do this?

Hello Matt,

Something link this should work:

<div id="my-content" style="display:none;">
  [x_subscribe form="40"]
</div>

<a href="#my-content" class="x-btn lbx" data-type="inline">Click Me[lightbox selector=".lbx"]</a>

Change this [x_subscribe form="40"] to your form. It will open in a lightbox.

Hope this helps.

Lely – Again, I’m not a coder. Where am I supposed to paste this code for each of the links? Can you tell specifically where this code goes? Also, where do I get the code for the form you referenced, and where will the lightbox open? I need to know how you get to this point so I have the context of where this code is supposed to be pasted.

Thanks,

-Matt

Hello Matt,

From you initial post I assumed you have a mailchimp signup form already that is link to your list. Is that correct? The next step is to have a button. This button when click will open a popup/lightbox that contained your mailchimp form.

Where am I supposed to paste this code for each of the links?
It is where you want your button to appear. Add a RAW content element then paste that code above. Replace this part:[x_subscribe form="40"] with your mailchimp form shortcode.

In case I misunderstood your post, kindly give us more detailed so we can be more specific on our suggestion.

Lely,

I’m not understanding this I guess. I did just as you said, I replaced this part:[x_subscribe form=”40″] with my Mailchimp shortcode and pasted the whole section into the action area for my button within the Slider Revolution. But nothing happens when I go to the live page.I also did the same by pasting the section in the link area within Cornerstone for the “Sign Up For LA Escapes” bar underneath the Slider, but again nothing happens. It actually created an error on my live page. Can you help me understand what I’m missing by explaining exactly where I need to paste this code so that my Mailchimp login form will pop-up when I click on the button, and also the “Sign Up for LA Escapes” bar? And I don’t understand what you mean by RAW content element. Where am I adding this?

Hi there,

I don’t see it implemented, maybe not yet. I could create a sample for you but please provide your admin login credentials in private reply.

Thanks!

Hi there,

You’re right it’s now working, instead of displaying it within its container, it’s displayed outside of the container. Instead, I just added this

  [x_subscribe form="40"]
<a href="#optinforms-form1-container" class="x-btn lbx" data-type="inline">Click Me[lightbox selector=".lbx"]</a>

And added this CSS to cornerstone’s custom CSS.

#optinforms-form1-container {
display: none;
}

A sample here http://www.exitive.com/lightbox-sample/

Cheers!

I don’t understand. It’s still not working. Neither of the two areas I mentioned are linked to the sign-up form. The steps you mentioned aren’t helping me solve this issue. When I click on the button, and on the “Sign up for LA Escapes” bar, still nothing is happening. Did I miss something?

Thanks,

-Matt

Hi there,

Would you mind uploading your video in dropbox or any file hosting? I’m still confused about what you mean by linking.

All your newsletter signup form was an embed code copied from Mailchimp. And to be specific, the form is generated by Optin Forms plugin. It’s opening a new window when you click Signup and it redirects to Mailchimp signup URL. They made it that way, how about contacting the plugin author?

Thanks!
