Mailing List Module not working

Question

I'm using the following code in my template for a Mailing List form, but it doesn't seem to be working.

{exp:mailinglist:form
    list="default"
}
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="email">Email address</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Enter email" name="email" value="{email}">
    </div>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary">
{/exp:mailinglist:form}

The form seems to post though no email appears in my default mailing list. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? I'm on 2.7 and am using .htaccess to remove the index.php.

Answer 1

It's a bug in ExpressionEngine 2.7. I've filed a bug report. Will be fixed in the next version.

There's some info on how to fix it on the ExpressionEngine bug tracker https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/19733 and on the forum http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/237991/#1059052

Answer 2

Make sure you CAN send an email. Send a test email in the communicate window. Otherwise your code looks ok. communicate

Also, read this Emails sent via ExpressionEngine are never reaching their destination

Ok, can you receive the email from mailing list? I assume you are inputting a valid email. Docs say this

The Mailing List is an opt in type, meaning that when someone adds their email address to the list, they are sent a confirmation email containing a link with an access code. Unless they click the link, their email address will not be added to the list. The opt-in link will expire in 48 hours. Conversely, when someone in your mailing list receives an email, there will be an “unsubscribe” link permitting them to remove themselves from the list`.

Just tested your link. Yep, no email received. some one else having same issue

One last idea, the source shows action id 19.

<input type="hidden" name="ACT" value="19">

Make sure this action id is listed in db table exp_actions.

Finally, and im guessing here, move this mailing list tag off the home screen to another template and retest. Forms submit to home screen. I wonder if this is causing an issue here?
