    I love modx, but really when it comes to add ons, I just feel useless ! Pretty hard to understand sometimes ... and feel pretty lonely when it come to gettig some support ... I am trying to get the newsletter add on to work and cannot pass the first easy step .... getting the subscribe page to work and get user in the database ... I just don't know what it is I am doing wrong, if anyone could help that would be great ... So I followed the instructions and I have a form set up

    <!--
    * FormIt is required!
    * Fields used: firstname, lastname, company, email
    * The 'ditsnewssignup' hook (snippet) adds the subscriber or returns an error message.
    * Redirects to a 'thankyou' page!
    * Don't forget to specify the group(s) the subscriber should be added to (see below) and set the confirmPage
    * Of course, you can also use this in a "normal" contactform.
    -->
    
    [[!FormIt? &hooks=`spam,ditsnewssignup,redirect` &redirectTo=`28` &validate=`email:required:email` &confirmPage=`27` ]]
    <form action="/[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post">
    
    
    <p>First name:<br />
    <input name="firstname" type="text" value="[[+fi.firstname]]" /></p>
    
    <p>Email:<br />
    <input name="email" type="text" value="[[+fi.email]]" [[!+fi.error.email:notempty=`class="error"`]] /></p>
    
    <input type="hidden" name="groups[]" value="1" /><!-- First group to add subscriber to. Ignored if not public! -->
    
    
    <input type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
    </form>



    The first pb I have is that the nothing gets in the database ... Second issue is that the redirect does not work and redirects to an unknown page ..
    Any ideas ?
    Thank you
