The form could be injected into a widget, or used inside a page through the MailChimp extension

• Subscription widget form
• Static function callable from outside

• Silverstripe framework 3.1.*
• Silverstripe cms 3.1.*

• silverstripe/widget
• zirak/widget-pages-extension

Install it through composer:

	composer require zirak/silverstripe-mailchimp

Extend the Page class (or whatever class you want to use) whit the MailChimp extension:

---
Name: mailchimp-extensions
---
Page:
  extensions:
    - MailChimp

Then render the $McSubscribeForm variable inside your template:

<% include SideBar %>
<div class="content-container unit size3of4 lastUnit">
	<article>
		<h1>$Title</h1>
		<div class="content">$Content</div>
	</article>
		$Form
		$PageComments
		$McSubscribeForm
</div>

Simply use the MailChimpSubscribe widget as usual documentation here

Define the widgetareas in your pages, like stated in widget-pages-extension module After that define which widget are allowed for your pages, in particular MailChimpSubscribe.

For example your Page.php will become

class Page extends SiteTree {

	private static $db = array(
	);
	private static $has_one = array(
			'SideBar' => 'WidgetArea'
	);
	private static $allowed_widgets = array(
			'MailChimpSubscribe'
	);

}

Run a /dev/build?flush=all and enjoy your widgets. Due to a known issue in widget-pages-extension you have to save each page you will need to put the widgets on. For more information about how to use the widgets please see the widget-pages-extension module documentations

• Configure your MailChimp APIKEY and ListID
