Implement customisable Mailman sign up bar or widget for Master Theme with Announce tick box #81

Open noelmas opened 11 years ago

noelmas commented 11 years ago

This needs to be easily customisable (text and mailing list) for each instance of master them (WG or project).

Importantly this needs a tick box option (at any stage) as to whether they also want to sign up to OKFN Announce and receive news about the Open Knowledge Foundation.

What text needs to be customisable?

Presumably, if the tick box is selected the details are to be sent to the MailChimp list as well as the Mailman one?

noelmas commented 11 years ago

Cutsomisable text would just be the wording of the invitation "Please sign up" "Join us" etc

The tick box will mean the address is also sent to Mail Chimp for OKFN announce. Most other lists will be on Mailman

smth commented 11 years ago

Ok, so we want someone to fill in their details once, and click one button, but two forms to be filled and sent. This is going to require some development work, assigning @zephod

noelmas commented 11 years ago

Exactly but to be clear their details only get sent to Mailchimp / OKFN Announce if they tick the box

smth commented 11 years ago

Yes sorry, potentially two forms to be filled and sent.

smth commented 11 years ago

The existing MailChimp bar now supports Mailman, as seen here http://openeconomics.net/

The check-box is there, but disabled until we get the development done.

noelmas commented 11 years ago

I might be blind, but I can't see that bar

smth commented 11 years ago

Above the footer

@zephod it may also be useful to have the option of a separate Mailman list (as an alternate for Mailchimp) for the newsletter opt-in.

Assigning this to @nigelbabu I'd say this is low priority, but if you get a quiet period, you may want to think about it / discuss with @noelmas
