Hi

I want to create a block containing a single form field which prompts site visitors ( anonymous ) to enter their email address and click on a subscribe bvutton. The form should then email the address to a site administrator.

This is easy via perl scripts such as http://form2email.net/ but all the related Drupal modules ( Simplenews etc ) seem to be over complex for this simple task.

Am I missing an obvious module or inbuilt Drupal mechanism ?

Thanks for any pointers.

Dave

It's not built-in. However what you describe is precisely what the SimpleNews module does. I don't see how it is overly complex. It is really streamlined.

A list of some of the Drupal sites I have designed and/or developed can be viewed at motioncity.com

I read the description of Simplenews and given that it also manages the sending of newsletters thought it was likely to be overkill for my simple requirement. I also looked at Webform, but again it is a sophisticated module for a one field form to generate an email.

My current thing is that the ultrasimple authorcontact module could be stripped down to one field quite simply.

Cheers
