After trying to get a form working, at least now I’m getting errors. Can you tell me what this means?

Getting the “Missing Item ic” error.

Going on the guess that this means “Interest Category”, I added code for a hidden item with the exact name of the list I want people to subscribe to. Now I get no error, but I’m not seeing the emails show up on the list.

<input type="hidden" name="mailinglist" value="CT HMIS - General Announcements">

The name of the field gives this away.

You need to make sure that you have checked your extension settings. You need to tell the extension which custom member field contains the interest categories that correspond to constant contact. The extension will then look for that custom field in the registration and pass that along to CC in order to add someone to a list there.

I have. Please see the attached screenshot for a shot of the settings.

I am aware of that and have read the documentation. Please note I updated the hidden variable to match the mailing_list custom field (that was a typo on my end, it did not fix things). In a second post I will post what a signed up users profile screen looks like (the custom fields)

I have the full signup page code below.

I want to add, I think the constant contact documentation was very poor, and code samples of the form would have been very helpful. I’d also note that you or another employee mentioned you did not even have a constant contact account active to try out the patch you sent me. This indicates to me that you have not put a sufficient amount of time into developing the support structure needed around this product. Sorry to be critical, but I don’t think I’m off by much.

James,

You make good points all around. Quite right indeed.

Would you allow me to login to your install to track down the trouble?
