simplenews subscription form on front page with frontpage module

Question

I want to place a Simplenews subscription form on my front page that I implemented using the Front Page module in 'full' mode. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Try this:

<?php $block = module_invoke('simplenews','block_view',5); print render($block); ?>

The number 5 shouldn't be sent as a string.

And if you are putting this in a textarea on Drupal's backend, you need the PHP input filter, which is generally a bad idea. Better to go through the theming system, add a region, and put the block there.

Answer 2

You should print render($block['content']); instead print render($block);
So solution will be:

<?php $block = module_invoke('simplenews','block_view',5);
 print render($block['content']); ?>

5= your block id (go to http://example.com/admin/structure/block and find simple newsletter block
