GetResponse Footer SlideUp

by Shabbir on June 14, 2010

My first ever WordPress plugin – AWeber Footer SlideUp form crossed 100 downloads in few hours and many user including TerryJett rated it as best plugin of 2010 ( I know it is not ).

We all know AWeber is not the only autoresponder and so many wanted me to have a plugin for general use and it can be done in future but as of now based on reader’s demand I have created similar plugin for GetResponse – GetResponse Footer Slideup Form

I personally do not use GetResponse on my blogs but they offers a free trial account to start with which has helped me immensely to develop this plugin. The reason I do not use GetResponse is because there is no reason to move out of AWeber. For more details you can read my views on AWeber Vs GetResponse.

Plugin Description

Footer Slideup Form is one of the best ways to ask your user to subscribe to your list without any interruption or blocking and this plugin does exactly that. It adds GetResponse slider subscribe form in the footer of your WordPress blog. GetResponse is an autoresponder which allows you to send series of email message to subscribers.

This plugin is only for GetResponse form and for AWeber please use AWeber Footer SlideUp form plugin.

Installation Instructions

Please Follow the exact Steps to install and activate this plugin.

Generate an Inline form using the GetResponse Interface.
Grab the HTML code of your GetResponse Form and Search for Hidden Form Fields You will find them between the form tag.
Upload the plugin folder getresponse-footer-slideup into your plugins directory located at wp-content/plugins.

FAQ’s

How to Edit the Tag Line Subscribe By Email for Weekly Updates?

Heading Tag Line (Optional) in the admin interface of the plugin. Leaving it blank will show default tagline.

Can you please give a clearer instruction on which code needs to be pasted where and (if any) what code is replaced by in the plug in code please?

Generate HTML in the GetResponse Interface and you will see tons of HTML code but in the middle of that HTML code search for campaign_name and you will find that there are hidden fields near that like this

<input id="error_url" name="error_url" type="hidden" />
<input id="confirmation_url" name="confirmation_url" type="hidden" />
<input id="campaign_name" name="campaign_name" type="hidden" value="YourCampaignName" />
<input id="custom_ref" name="custom_ref" type="hidden" />

Now Visit the GetResponse Footer SlideUp Options under the Settings menu and add the above code (For your form ofcourse)

If you see that you have all blank values like my sample above then you can add the following one line.

<input id="campaign_name" name="campaign_name" type="hidden" value="YourCampaignName" />

Remember to change the YourCampaignName string to your actual GR campaign name.

The plug-in adds by itself one hidden field custom_http_referer, two input fields (aka name and email) and a submit button.

Hello, great popup plugin, but to prevent the form from pushing down below the browser, you need a style=display:inline to keep the form on the top line.
