Hi there. I am trying to change the value of the _REDIRECT code underneath that is sent out in the confirmation email for subscribers. It's not very satisfying that they get sent directly to the main webpage.

CODE

<<TMPL_VAR NAME="SCRIPT_PATH">?__mode=confirm;email=<TMPL_VAR NAME="EMAIL">;magic=<TMPL_VAR NAME="MAGIC">;blog_id=<TMPL_VAR NAME="BLOG_ID">;_redirect=<TMPL_VAR NAME="_REDIRECT">>

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Thanks.

This is what I use on my index.html page for subscribing to the notification list.

CODE

<form method="post" action="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-add-notify.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="blog_id" value="<$MTBlogID$>" />
<input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="http://www.whateverurl.com" />
<input name="email" size="20" />
<input type="submit" value="add" />
</form>

My URL for the redirect value is to a success.html page which congratulates them on subscribing. The URL in this value is what's going to be in the confirmation E-mail.

Worry not. It took me about 6 hours (over the course of two days) to get my subscription stuff to work. And even now, my unsubscribe stuff I've found doesn't work with the Berekely Database installation of MT.
