Variables In The Newsletter Form In Investa Tempalate

Template 1 year ago

Hello I am using Joomla 4.4.5 on PHP 8.2 with Sp Page Builder 5.3.2, helix ultimate 2.1.1 and Investa template

In the footer of the Investa template there is a newsletter form.

I tried to modify that newsletter form to adjust it to my needs, I found the following ready code in the "email body" field:

<p><strong>From:</strong>{{first-name}} {{last-name}}</p> <p><strong>Email:</strong>{{email}}</p> <p><strong>Subject:</strong>{{subject}}</p> <p><strong>Message:</strong>{{message}}</p>

The variables are printed "as is" in the email body, the only veriable that is effectively converted into a text is the {{site-name}} present in the Email subject field ( {{subject}} | {{site-name}} ), all the others are printed as is....

In practice subscribing to the newsletter produces an email with the following subject " {{subject}} | Nameofthe website.domain" and in which in the body one reads the following:

From:{{first-name}} {{last-name}}

Email: [email protected]

Subject:{{subject}}

Message:{{message}}

Which data do these variable should retrieve? how can be that data set to desired values?

Thank you. Best regards

Hi David,

This is dummy/demo newsletter form, it was created for Demo purposes only. From it you won't be able to send newsletter etc.

Please install real newsletter component, for example, AcyMailing extension (at least Starter version)

Hi Paul

OK, so those variables are there to do nothing.. Ok, I'll use a standard text for that newsletter subscription form. Thank you. Best regards

They are just display fields and option, and do nothing after all ;)


Indeed you need or extra newsletter component or online newsletter service that you can join using our Opt-in Form addon or custom code from developer site.
