|
61 == Usage == |
|
62 |
|
63 A subscription form may be inserted on a post, page, or text widget by including the following code in your text. |
|
64 |
|
65 > `[-ggis-subscribe %formtype "%listname"-]` |
|
66 |
|
67 Here is an explanation of the fields: |
|
68 |
|
69 1. ggis-subscribe - identifies the code (required) |
|
70 2. formtype - identifies the form type |
|
71 * 0, default - full subscription management form |
|
72 * 1 - subscribe only form , requires "listname" |
|
73 3. listname - identifies the list to include in a subscription only form |
|
74 |
|
75 ### In a Widget? ### |
|
76 |
|
77 A subscription form may be placed into the standard text widget using the methods above. For widget use, I suggest using only formtype=1, the short form. |
