Download e-mail tracker
Hello,
I’d like to be able to ask people to provide their e-mail address prior to downloading files (e.g. whitepapers). This is fairly common practice, but does not seem to be possible with Textpattern. Has anyone found a way to do this ?

Re: Download e-mail tracker
You can use zcr … something like
<txp:zem_contact to="you@domain.tld" label="" required="1" thanks_form="mythanks">
<txp:zem_contact_email label="Your email" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="Download" />
</txp:zem_contact>and in your form mythanks you can have the file download link(s).

Re: Download e-mail tracker
cool thanks. I’ll give it a try.
Is there any way to check it’s a valid e-mail address ?

Re: Download e-mail tracker
From ZCR plug-in help:
<txp:zem_contact_email />
Input field for user’s email address.
The entered email address will automatically be validated to make sure it is of the form “abc@xxx.yyy[.zzz]”. On non-Windows servers, a test will be done to verify that an A or MX record exists for the domain. Neither test prevents spam, but it does help detecting accidental typing errors.

Thanks – got it working now. It even seems to be sending mails despite the fact I’ve never been able to get Textpattern to send mails before.

D’oh! Thanks, Joe. Deleted my misleading post.
