I really like MailPress, and am really hoping I can use it on my new
blog with an ebook sales page and an affiliate program.

I want to configure MailPress to support:
1. An automatic newsletter for blog updates
2. A private mailing list for customers, accessible only by purchasing
the ebook
3. A public mailing list for affiliates
4. A public weekly tips mailing list

Each mailing list will have a separate autoresponder sequence of
emails.

Looking at the documentation on the subscription form at:
http://www.mailpress.org/wiki/index.php?title=Manual:MailPress:Configuring:Shortcode

I can't see any shortcode parameters to tell the subscription form
which mailing list to subscribe to. I'm hoping for something like:
[mailpress mailinglist='affiliates' txtbutton='Join The Affiliate
Program']

Is this possible with MailPress 5.0, and if not, how much work would
it be to add?

(Please reply here, or via http://grahamstoney.com)

Cheers,
Graham

[mailpress mailinglist='affiliates' txtbutton='Join The Affiliate Program']

instead of "affiliates", put the mailinglist id

Thanks for the reply André. In this case, "affiliates" _is_ the
mailinglist id; so I assume the shortcode should work as-is. However,
the visitor is added to the default newsletter and their mailing list
setting is 'uncategorised'. The mailinglist parameter isn't mentioned
in the documentation and appears to have no effect on the form code
generated.

Is this supported in MailPress 5.0?

Thanks, Graham

"affiliates" cannot be the mailinglist id which is a number

edit that mailinglist and see in the address bar of your browser url ending by id=xxx

Thanks Andre... yes, that works nicely. Is there any way to say not to
also add the subscriber to the default newsletter list? My affiliates
don't necessarily want to subscribe to blog updates.
