Hello,

I have a couple of solutions where the owners are creating competitions for visitors to participate in.
When a visitor fills out the competition form, we would like for them to be able to check a checkbox if they would like to recieve a newsletter.
If the checkbox is checked i want the data to be added to a newsletter recipientslist - how can this be done?

It is going to be a feature of DW 8.

Using the new forms module, do a FormSaveProvider (See "(en-US) Data Management Extensibility API.pdf" here: http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/downloads/documentation.aspx)

For the old one, only option is to do a notification subscriber observing Notifications.Standard.Application.BeginRequest
If request is a post, and the "signup for newsletter" field in your form is checked, do the signup using newsletterv3 api.

Thanks again Nicolai,

Will do with the import feature in Newsletter v3 untill this is a standard feature, as i have no idea how to do the steps you describe in the post above :-)
