A simple subscribe form shipped as a module and a plugin: every new subscriber triggers an email, and their details go into a text file. No database tables, no mailing system.
Newsletter Subscriber by Christopher Mavros collects subscriber addresses for sites that do not need a full newsletter system yet. The form emails the site owner about every sign-up and appends the details to a text file. The list can later be moved into any mailing service.
Features
- The module can be published in any position, even several times on one page with unique IDs.
- The plugin renders the form inside article text via the {newsletter_subscriber} tag.
- Email notification for every new subscription.
- Subscribers are stored in a text file, with no database tables.
- All labels, hints and messages of the form are editable.
- Simple spam protection that stays out of the way of real visitors.
- Redirect to a thank-you page after sign-up.
Compatibility
Joomla 4, 5 and 6 (and Joomla 3). Current version 2.0.70, updated in JED on 15 July 2026. The extension does not send mailings itself; export the list to a mailing service for that.
