PageBuilder
Visual section builder for MODX 3: draft and publish without overwriting resource content
Newsletter
Section newsletter renders an HTML form. Submit goes to an external action_url, not through FetchIt. Chunk: pagebuilderpro_newsletter. Requires PageBuilder Pro.
action_url is required. email_name sets the email field name in POST. note is the privacy text.
Where it fits
- Mailchimp, Unisender, or your own endpoint
- A block in the landing footer
- Collecting email without a MODX mail
Fields
| Field | Type | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
title | text | no | Title |
text | textarea | no | Text |
action_url | url | yes | Form handler URL |
email_name | text | no | Email field name |
placeholder | text | no | Placeholder |
submit_label | text | no | Button label |
note | textarea | no | Privacy note |
Render
The form uses method="post" and posts to action_url. FetchIt is not involved. Empty fields take chunk defaults: field name email, button Subscribe, placeholder you@example.com. note and text print only when set. There is no empty state: publish fails without action_url because the field is required.
