I'm trying to create and set up a "newsletter subscription page" via a new CMS page. The newsletter form in my site's footer works, and so I decided to just reuse that. After looking up on how to add the code to the CMS based on what other people have done, I've come across two code versions:
{{block type="core/template" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"}}{{block type='newsletter/subscribe' name='newsletter' template='newsletter/subscribe.phtml'}}Unsure of which to add, both codes are placed in the CMS. After saving and flushing caches, both doesn't seem to work. The "newsletter/subscribe" code doesn't show up at all in the frontendl; it doesn't even show in the browser's page source code. The "core/template" code shows up in the frontend, but doesn't function. The "core/template" code is almost exactly the same as the one in the footer except that the form tag is missing the action code.
<div id="subscribe-form" class="clearer">
<form action="" method="post" id="newsletter-validate-detail">
<div>
<label for="newsletter">Newsletter</label>
<div class="input-box">
<input name="email" id="newsletter" title="Sign up for our newsletter" class="input-text required-entry validate-email" type="text">
</div>
<button type="submit" title="Subscribe" class="button btn-inline"><span><span>Subscribe</span></span></button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Does anyone have any insight to what I could be doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. I'm relatively new to Magento. I have version 1.9.2.4 and running on the Ultimo theme.
