RSMail subscribe module
The RSMail subscribe module allows you place a subscription module anywhere on your site. Among the ordinary module options (Position, Order, Access Level, and Menu Assignment) you can also choose the list of subscribers that the module is based on and which fields to display.
If you have more that one list available for your site's users, you can allow users to select which list they want to subscribe to by changing the module parameters.
How to subscribe directly via the RSMail! module:
- Edit the RSMail subscribe module, by going to Extensions >> Module Manager.
- Choose the list(s) you wish to add subscribers to and press Save (you can also allow users to subscribe to multiple lists as defined in the 'Mailing lists' option)
- Select the fields of the list(s) you wish to display in the module
Anti-spam
The module's nature implies having some spam protection methods available. We have included both a built-in CAPTCHA and an integration with the popular anti-spam method, reCAPTCHA.
