New Member profile forms
Member Profile Forms may be used instead of an unsubscribe form or unsubscribe link to allow members to opt out of lists selectively. They are also useful as a way for members to change their email address or other demographic information stored in Aurea List Manager.
Note
The HTML for the form may not be embedded in your website; it must be served from the Aurea List Manager web server. However, you may edit the HTML of the form to match the look and feel of your website.
in Aurea List Manager, you may link to it, either in your mailings or using a link on your website.
To create a link to your member profile form
- In the left navigation bar, click Content, and then click New Content.
- elect either the Text or HTML tabs.
- Click Insert URL.
- Select the Profiletab.
- Select the HTML Profile Form you want to use.
- Click Insert.
The URL that is generated may also be inserted into a form on your website. Here is a sample of the code.
Note
The values to pass below are from the URL generated. For example, if the URL generated from
the wizard is http://yourserver.example.com/subscribe/profile?f=4257&id=%%memberidchar%%
, enter the
number "4257" for name="f".
For example:
<form method="post" action="http://yourserver.example.com/subscribe/profile">
<b>Edit your member profile</b><p>
Email Address: <input class="forminput" value=" type="text"
size="20" name="email"><P>
<!-- UNCOMMENT TO ALWAYS ASK FOR A PASSWORD -- Password: <input class="forminput"
value=" type="password" size="20" name="pw"><P> -->
<input type="hidden" name="f" value="4257"><input
type="hidden" name="sublists" value="listname"><input type="submit">
</form>
Your web forms is not going to work if the host name assigned to Aurea List Manager is incorrect. If your form is not working properly, check the URL to Web Interface in Utilities > Administration > Sites.
