Constant Contact for WordPress AJAX

  • Hey Folks,

    Just setup and configured the Constant Contact plugin, everything is straight forward and seamless.

    Now, when someone submits the form, regardless of errors, the entire page refreshes.

    This is problematic since the visitor does not see a confirmation, success message, or errors messages without scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.

    Furthermore, I’ve done some digging and was not able to find documentation or hardly any mention is any at all of AJAX functionality.

    Looking for guidance and recommendations!

  • I know this is an old post, but I found a solutions that might help others.

    Place your form inside a container with an ID. For example:
    <div id="newsletter-signup"></div>
    Or utilize another container ID that is already in place.

    Then create a filter (in your functions.php file) to change the action of the form to include an anchor tag.

    //Change Newsletter Form Action to Jump To Form
add_filter('constant_contact_form','replace_form_action' );
function replace_form_action($form = null) {

$form = str_replace('action="/"', 'action="/#newsletter-signup"', $form);
return $form;
}

    Now when the form is submitted it will jump back to the form location showing the error/success message.

    This works, but it will replace that action where ever this form is used. So it might create an issue if you are using multiple signup forms without the same container ID.

    An AJAX solution would be much better and less clunky.
    Welcome any better ideas.
