Is their a way to have a user imput their email address and use it as a email subscriber. For them to subscribe to your email for daily updates

Thanks Guys

No

At first glance I think @calvin9403 is correct, but...... Before I continue, I have never used the openURL behavior so I have no idea if my idea will work or not, this will also require you to do some server side code too to add the email address into a subscriber database.... So here is what you could do (again, im not sure if it will work)

-prompt the user to enter a email address if he/she wants to subscribe, save the email address as an attribute 'userEmail'.
-then have a submit to subscribe button which will use the openURL and link it too http://www.yourdomain.com/subscribe.php?email=game.userEmail - (game.userEmail is the user email address)
-this would pass the userEmail attribute in a querystring
-have a php file (or a language of your choice) to GET the value of email in the url and add it to the database

now, again, I am not sure if it will work!

ok I will try that, does anyone else have any ideas.

Thanks guys

Unfortunately you can't use attributes in the OpenURL behavior. So the answer is still no.

Damn, worth a try I guess.... They really should get attributes to work in the OpenURL behavior, as there will be endless features you could implement with it e.g. posting high scores to facebook etc...

Yep we have been asking for dynamic URL's for well over a year. I'm honestly not sure why they wont add it. Lots of new possibilities with that one little feature.

Could you put a page on your website where they enter their email and then it is saved?

@redsky That's a great idea, then with gamesalad in app browser I can open it up within the app.

Great idea Thanks! : )
