Hello,
I've set up a newsletter subscription process with double opt-in and it works fine. Now I wanted to change the confirmation page so that the user isn't shown a form page from OpenEMM but instead a page on our website. So I added a link to the mailing and set the action for the link to the double opt-in action, but this doesn't work. Do I have to add some additional parameters for the link or does the double opt-in action simply not work with links? An y hints are highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Thomas
P.S. I'm still using OpenEMM 5.5.1.
Action for double opt-in only working with forms?

Hello retiolum,
i've tested your scenario. I've got the same problems. The action "Double-Opt-In confirmation" apparently does not work with trackable links.
If you dont maintained the Welcome-Page in the EMM, it's possible to redirect with a meta-refresh in the EMM-Forms. For example:
It is not the best way, but a possibility to administrate the success and error pages on the website.
I hope it helps!
Greetings.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/subscribewelcome.html">
<title>Welcome to our newsletter</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yourdomain.de/favicon.ico">

<body>
<p> You will be <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/subscribewelcome.html">redirected</a>!

I hope it helps!

I just tested this with a fresh installation of OpenEMM 2011 and it still does not work. Has this bug been filed for correction at all?maschoff wrote:It's not strange - it's a bug!
