Adding Mailchimp to my website

I have recently been asked by my club's secretary to add a signup form to Mailchimp.  However, in test I don't seem to be getting the output from the form registered in Mailchimp.  Is there something I am missing with regards to permissons within Mojoportal?  I have put the form up using HTML Content and used the code generated by Mailchimp directly using the Source tab.

The code is:

<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="xxx" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
    <h2>Subscribe to our mailing list</h2>
<div class="mc-field-group">
    <label for="mce-EMAIL">Email Address </label>
    <input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL">
</div>
<div class="mc-field-group">
    <label for="mce-FNAME">First Name </label>
    <input type="text" value="" name="FNAME" class="" id="mce-FNAME">
</div>
<div class="mc-field-group">
    <label for="mce-LNAME">Last Name </label>
    <input type="text" value="" name="LNAME" class="" id="mce-LNAME">
</div>
    <div id="mce-responses" class="clear">
        <div class="response" id="mce-error-response" style="display:none"></div>
        <div class="response" id="mce-success-response" style="display:none"></div>
    </div>    <div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
</form>
</div>

<!--End mc_embed_signup-->

Thanks for you time,

James

Re: Adding Mailchimp to my website

Hi,

You cannot add extra form elements, you would need to implement a custom usercontrol with an asp.net button and set the postbackurl to the mailchimp url. See the article about a PayPal Buy Now button which is the same problem and solution but a different purpose for the button.

Hope that helps,

Joe
