malcomb Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 3 Thank you received: 0	I am attempting to install a sign up form for new subscribers to our infrequent club newsletter. The MailChimp code is requiring a 'from' email address to be included. I can't determine what the 'from' address is for our site. 3979.toastmastersclubs.org/ Any ideas?

FTH does not support form or scripts. We provide no assistance for forms or script installation.. If your form or script damages your page we will clear the page.

FTH contact page already can collect email address and member management already has lists for guests, prospects, former members, and members. Please read the documentation for FTH and you will see all the built in tools.

Thank you,

Hi Malcom !!

A good way to hook MailChimp in would be to get a free Wordpress site, set up just a page or two in it, install MailChimp there, and link to it from your FTH site. My club doesn't use MailChimp (yet) but we do this for a blog, and visitors are largely unaware they're passing between two different websites when they look around. You can even pick a WordPress theme that can be set up to look roughly like FreeToastHost to extend the illusion.

It does give you two sites to maintain, but you get all the Toastmaster-ey benefits of FreeToastHoast, with the free ability to hang extra function on.

Thanks - I can embed the MailChimp script on FTH without issue and all works well without damaging anything - the only issue I have is after registration the user is asked to click back to the website. But that button takes them to my personal website - because I can't validate 3979.toastmastersclubs.org/ in MailChimp because they want a 'from' email address.

I'm using MailChimp because it has more templates and more flexible engagement with a database than I can find on FTH.

No biggie - just looking for the ideal scenario.
