Summary


In this chapter, you've learned how to create and customize subscriber forms. You've covered:

  • Setting up a basic subscriber form

  • Modifying the subscriber form

  • Adding reCAPTCHA support to a subscriber form by modifying phpList files

  • Implementing subscriber forms on other applications (Blogger, WordPress, and so on)

You'll notice, we've also covered three different ways of customizing phpList. The first is through the standard phpList admin interface, the second is through editing source code, and the third is through duplicating and customizing phpList-generated HTML code.

In the next chapter, we'll look at phpList automated bounce-handling features and at how to keep your lists clear of "stale" addresses.
