I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how to create a simple newsletter subscription form… :sweat: Features All pages/urls in my site will have a newsletter subscription form (snippet); Integrated with Mailchimp’s API ; Uses Uniform to validade, send and to get error/success feedbacks; All v…

[image] mzur: You’ve already found the tutorial, all you need to do is implement the form that way (your contact/send page “endpoint” might be newsletter/subscribe). I was thinking about the router because the site uses the panel and I’d like the panel users to not see these pages (newsletter…

[image] lukasbestle: The standard way to embed a MailChimp form is to use their embedded form. This is actually their recommended option and does not require to publish your API key as far as I can tell. I see your point… but I have two reasons to use the API: First is about controlling the …

[image] rhawbert: Is it still doable using the router? Sure, if you don’t need modifiable information (like a target email adress or an API key) for the form, a route is probably the better choice. Here you can find a neat solution using a route as endpoint for an AJAX form (not using Uniform…

[image] mzur: You only have to install it according to the readme and use the wrapper in the action. This way you can easily update it in the future. Even better… coz I was going to copy, slice and hack it till it talks the way I wanted (hahahaha). I just don’t know what I’m doing… which is h…

[image] rhawbert: Where to put it? Plugins? The readme mentions composer and laravel and stuff… If you don’t want to use Composer you can do it like this: Create a new directory site/plugins/uniform-mailchimp-action with a file uniform-mailchimp-action.php. Put the MailChimp.php file from t…

Martin… you’re awesome! I followed your advice and didn’t use composer. Managed to make a test using call_user_func and now I can see the API response: dump( call_user_func(uniform::$actions['mailchimp']) ); Is there a better way to test it? Now I can further implement the Uniform action and …

[image] rhawbert: Is there a better way to test it? Not without adding a bunch of additional complexity (a testing framework) to mock the HTTP requests I guess. The easiest option might be setting up a mailing list and test everything manually :smile:

It took me so long getting this to work that someone even marked it as solved… :slight_smile: I ended up mixing technics from @mzur and @luxlogica and got quite confused… Without the controller method I didn’t know how to configure the Uniform plugin to handle validation… instead of validating “ma…

You can use Uniform in the route just like you would in a controller: array( 'pattern' => 'newsletter/subscribe', 'method' => 'POST', 'action' => function() { // check whether this is an ajax request, and respond with an error if it isn't if (!kirby()->request()->ajax()) return…

It looks much cleaner now… and using the solid Uniform’s validation… thanks. The validations is not working thou… when the form sends either valid, invalid emails or an empty input… the json always returns: { "success": false, "message": "", "errors": [] } I had to change my router’s …
