Checkbox in registrationform

Hi dreamfox,

I will be working on an easier version to add the necessary fields for groups but for now you can just copy paste the MailChimp code into your form mark-up (on the form settings page), it will work just fine.

If it doesn’t look nice, try adding some surrounding paragraph or unordered list elements.

Good luck and let me know if you need more help.

Thanks.

I’m trying to accomplish the same idea I believe. I have a list I want to subscribe people to, but I want to add every subscriber to an interest group at the same time, but have that hidden from view as it’s just for my own segmenting purposes.

I’ve tried several variations of coding it in the plugin’s form mark-up settings but it never adds the subscriber to the group.

Here is the code I’m using – any ideas why it wouldn’t be adding subscribers to that group?

<p>
<label for=”mc4wp_f%N%_email”>Email address: </label>
<input type=”email” id=”mc4wp_f%N%_email” name=”email” required placeholder=”Your email address” />
<input style=”display:none;” type=”checkbox” value=”8192″ checked=”checked” name=”group[8301][8192]” id=”mce-group[8301]-8301-2″ />
</p>
<p>
<input type=”submit” value=”Sign up” />
</p>

Hi,

I wasn’t exactly right when I stated you could just copy the MailChimp sign-up form, sorry for that. You are almost there though. Use the following snippet to add a hidden field containing the data to subscribe to different groups.

<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][id]" value="INSERT GROUPING ID HERE" />
<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][groups]" value="INSERT GROUP ID'S HERE, SEPARATED BY COMMA" />

Given your current form, the exact snippet for you would look something like this.

<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][id]" value="8301" />
<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][groups]" value="8192" />

Hope that helps. I’m working on an easier way to add group data.

Still doesn’t work. When I add that code the form doesn’t seem to submit at all. The success message does not appear as well.

I’ll look into it today.

Thanks! I just updated the plugin to the new version that came out today and still the same issue just FYI.

Sorry, I made a mistake. You shouldn’t use the group ID’s but just their names.

<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][id]" value="123" />
<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][groups]" value="Group name 1,Group name 2,Group name 3" />

or..

<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][name]" value="Grouping name:" />
<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][groups]" value="Group name 1,Group name 2,Group name 3" />

or…

<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[0][name]" value="Grouping name:" />
<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[0][groups][]" value="Group 1" /><label>Group 1</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[0][groups][]" value="Group 2" /><label>Group 2</label>

Good luck!

Danny

Worked! (I just tried it using the first example). Thank you SO much!!

Great!

Heads up: I’ve changed the required format for the checkboxes and hidden fields somewhat in version 1.0.1. Backwards compatibility is included but still, I recommend updating your form mark-up.

You can use the field wizard to make it a little more easy.

New format for hidden fields

<input type="hidden" name="GROUPINGS[group id or name]" value="Group 1, Group 2, Group 3" />

New format for checkboxes

<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[grouping id or name][]" value="Group 1"><label>Group 1</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[grouping id or name][]" value="Group 2"><label>Group 2</label>

Of course, replace grouping id or name with your grouping id or grouping name.

Hi Danny,

Concerning the code you gave above:

<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[grouping id or name][]" value="Group 1"><label>Group 1</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[grouping id or name][]" value="Group 2"><label>Group 2</label>

I’ve replaced the grouping id or name with my grouping id or grouping name, but when I test the submission, the email is not getting assigned to the chosen group. Here is what Mailchimp is giving me for my form:

<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="https://glutenfreeanonymous.us3.list-manage1.com/subscribe/post?u=7e62d12268f3d0eae893d30f0&id=b37263585f" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>

<div class="mc-field-group input-group">

<li><input type="checkbox" value="2" name="group[4529][2]" id="mce-group[4529]-4529-1"><label for="mce-group[4529]-4529-1">GFA Weekly</label></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" value="4" name="group[4529][4]" id="mce-group[4529]-4529-2"><label for="mce-group[4529]-4529-2">GFA Monthly</label></li>
</ul>
</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-->

I’ve spent quite a bit of time entering in different variations and testing with no luck (the form does everything as expected except for adding the user to the selected group). Could you steer me in the right direction?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi ttstauss,

The value of the checkbox fields should match the exact group names. I guess that the following code will work for you.

<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[4529][]" value="GFA Daily"><label>GFA Daily</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[4529][]" value="GFA Weekly"><label>GFA Weekly</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="GROUPINGS[4529][]" value="GFA Monthly"><label>GFA Monthly</label>

I will make interest groupings (partially) available in the lite version in the next update of the plugin, so you can then use the “add field” tool to add the interest grouping fields to your sign-up forms!

Danny,

Thanks for the quick response and great plugin by the way. I gave it a try and still can’t seem to get it to work, but not a problem. I’m just going to use the standard Mailchimp link for now until the next lite version update comes out. Down the road my sister (who I’m creating this site for) plans on upgrading to the pro version when/if she starts generating any revenue.

Thanks!

Hi ttsauss,

Just updated the plugin, this version will get access to 1 interest grouping when using the “Lite” version. Hope that helps!

If not, let me know and I’d be happy to help you out.

Danny,

That was fast! Thanks so much for letting me know. I gave it a quick try and it still doesn’t seem to go through (the grouping part). Maybe I set something up incorrectly in Mailchimp? If I use their form it seems to work, but that requires leaving the page and isn’t quite as seamless as your plugin.

Any thoughts?
