Having problems with Ajax subscription form from seperate server

julianms · February 16, 2016, 2:53pm

I’ve set up an Ajax subscription form on my main site (my phplist has it’s own server) as in this post Ajax subscribe api using duncanc’s script. Settings have all been correctly set: id of the list and subscribe page etc. The script successfully subscribes someone but still gives the error message ie. error: function (request, status, error) { alert('Sorry, we were unable to process your subscription.'); This is an new set up of 3.2.4 freshly installed with the old (updated) database from 2.10.

The page I’m using is here : https://shiftinglight.com/test/1.html

any suggestions other than change the error message to ‘Success!’ ?

ps. brand new ubuntu 14.04 server php5 etc.

Have found a good solution

tutorial here:

you just need the js from here and adjust it to fit the critical settings as outlined by @duncanc in Ajax subscribe api

github.com

scotch-io/ajax-forms-jquery/blob/master/magic.js

// magic.js
$(document).ready(function() {

	// process the form
	$('form').submit(function(event) {

		$('.form-group').removeClass('has-error'); // remove the error class
		$('.help-block').remove(); // remove the error text

		// get the form data
		// there are many ways to get this data using jQuery (you can use the class or id also)
		var formData = {
			'name' 				: $('input[name=name]').val(),
			'email' 			: $('input[name=email]').val(),
			'superheroAlias' 	: $('input[name=superheroAlias]').val()
		};

		// process the form
		$.ajax({
			type 		: 'POST', // define the type of HTTP verb we want to use (POST for our form)
