Client HTML snippet template


This snippet of HTML is e-mailed to a new advertiser when they register to become a sponsor for the newsletter. This form is for them to put within their own site to help gather more subscribers for the newsletter itself.

The form should call the user-reg.pl script, preferrably using the POST method.

Required fields

The form itself has two required fields which need to be included in it so that the registration process can function properly.

username
This hidden field will be used to track which advertiser has referred a user to the newsletter. Without this field, there will be no way to monitor where the submissions are coming from (and the system will choke when a user tries to register).

emailaddr
This text entry field will be used to gather the users e-mail address so that they can start receiving the newsletter. If someone submits the form without putting a value into this field that's ok; we'll simply ignore their request.

Replacement tags

#username#
Replaced with the name of the advertiser who has just registered as a sponsor of the newsletter. This will allow any users who register through the use of this form to be accounted for and for this user to gain extra impressions.
