CREATING A EMAIL SIGN UP SHEET POP UP ON HOME PAGE
As the title suggests im trying to create a sign up sheet on my home page. i have created a suitable sheet and have the html code ready to paste in somewhere, unfortuantly i cant figure that part out.
im using umbraco v
4.7.0 (Assembly version: 1.0.4090.21631)
i have tried the following
settings > templates > home page
and then tried pasting the code into this....and once saved i cannot bring up the website and just get an error message instead. please help as its driving me nuts.
not really sure i understand sorry.....i have created the template and pasted in my html stuff....and i have labeled the alias 'popup' but now im lost.
do i put the <ahref="?alttemplate=popup">Open content in popup</a> in the original 'home page' template?
yes, the link should be where you want in the your template.. the popup template just hold the content. so you don't want to include e.g. content from a master template in the popup, just the form content..
An example here I have created on this page: http://sub.ak-security.dk/da/kontakt.aspx where the link "Find os her" an the image map on the left both use fancybox and an alternative template "map", with the content for Google Maps.
i think you may have miss understood, i would like the email sign up sheet to automatically appear above my home page when people log on to my site. the method you described seems to work only by clicking on the inserted link. i would like it to automatically pop up. this website http://nickgrantham.com is the perfect example, when you log on you have an email sign up option you can either fill out or exit out of to proceed to the actual home page.
Yes, the way I described open Fancybox overlay, when clicking af link.. but I think you can use same priciple to have the form content in an alternative template..
and then I think you should call a javascript plugin either when the user is logged in or on page load, then call a javascript method..

Hi Duncan
You can create an empty template with the content and then call the template as alternative template.
E.g. you can create a template with the form content with alias "popup" ..
Then you use that template like this:
You can use Fancybox or whatever modal overlay plugin you would like to use..

Ahh okay, sorry about that..
