Use a custom form as a subscription form for NS Pro? was created by Michael Dobmeier

Hello Experts,
hello Christopher,

I may not have entered the right search terms yet, but unfortunately I haven't found an answer to my question (which I'm sure gets asked again and again) - sorry for that.

I use Joomshaper with SP Page Builder, which is also very good for creating forms.
My question now: How can I use a custom form (such as https://str.domain-community.net/en/#Vormerkung ) as a subscription form for NS Pro?
Can someone please tell me where I can find instructions for using an existing form (possibly with field name adjustments) for NS Pro? I think that customizing the subscription form is a standard requirement, and I just can't find the explanation.

Thank you very much for any helpful answers.

Hello Michael and thank you for posting!
Welcome to our forum!

NS Pro allows the creation of custom fields, as well as some customization of the form layout using the module options. Generally speaking, this is the common way to use the subscription form.
If you want to take full control of the form, you can also create a template override of the components/com_nspro/views/nspro/tmpl/default.php by copying it to templates/your_template/html/com_nspro/nspro/default.php.
I think that is the best way to completely customize the look of your form.

If you still prefer to use another form builder and change the input names, you can create a Subscribe form menu item and point your form to that.
Make sure you set a Unique Form ID in the options, something like "sub" without the quotes. Then you can name your fields like so:

Code:

nspro_sub_name => The subscriber name
nspro_sub_email => The subscriber email
nspro_sub_mailing_lists => Comma separated list ids (1,2,3)
nspro_sub_terms_checkbox => on (if you have it enabled)
nspro_sub_as_answer => Anti spam answer, if you have it enabled (or captcha, but that would be harder to configure)
nspro_posting_source => module
nspro_posting_source_id => the module ID
nspro_name_prefix => sub
nspro_task => subscribe

Let me know if that helps!

Hello Christopher,
Thank you for your quick reply!
Okay, that doesn't seem to work right away ;-)

I'll have to take a closer look at it in the next few days to see if I can find a workable solution.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I have another question, but I'll create a separate post for that.
Thanks and best regards,
Michael

Thank you Michael.
Please explore possible customizations from the module's options and let me know if you have something different in mind.

Thanks again.
