I just used the template tag (not the post tag) because it’s a special sidebar that I only use with my plugin pages.
But.. the problem is that the sidebar has to be displayed within the post ‘loop’ as the plugin requires that. I did this by defining a special sidebar and ‘including’ the sidebar template after the ‘post’ variables had started their funky stuff.
Bit of a cheat really

I don’t think I can explain any more clearly than the readme file that goes with the plugin. You have two options. You either place the ‘post tag’ within the content of the page - which then apples only to that page. Or, you can place the ‘template tag’ in your themes page template which means it will then display and apply to ALL pages. And don’t forget that for notifications to actually be sent, you need to turn them on in the Management panel.
So which tag have you placed where?

Hi,
I just used the template tag… I do understand that.
But what do you mean that sidebar has to be displayed within the post loop. What is the “special sidebar” or “sidebar template” which is included after the post variables.
I comprehended from the Punmail Read Me file that only the template tag
<?php punmail_form(InputLength, StackBelow); ?>
has to be included into sidebar.php within loop. Is this correct? Or simply the “special sidebar” or “sidebar template” is synonym for the expression tag template.
p.s. I wish to place the subscribe panel into Sidebar only once.

Oh dear - this was a while back! And I have changed quite a lot snce then. By 'special sidebar template' I just meant I had defined and created a second sidebar template in my theme that I only used for those particular pages. Which meant also, of course, a separate page template as well.

First thank you a lot for your response.
A little confused so let me ask you once again but from the start please
I've installed Punmail v2.5. From Punmail Read Me I have comprehended that there are two ways how to work with the plugin.
1/ via tag <!–punmail–>in the text content of your post/page for every post/page separately
2/ via template tag <php punmail_form(InputLength, StackBelow); ?> for all posts/pages but repeatedly visible for every post/page.
But I wish insert the form into sidebar only once for all posts/pages. So what should I do. Follow the procedure ad 2/ which means that I have to insert the template tag into sidebar.php within loop?
Or there is the third procedure which allows to insert the form into sidebar? In that case there is no instruction for that in the Punmail Read Me file which is distributed within Punmail v2.5 from the 19th March 2008.
Thank you.
Marek

OK. Let's see if I can deal with this. The most important point is that what you want to do is not supported by the code as it stands. It was also well over a year ago and I honestly do not remember exactly what I did!
I know I created a separate sidebar template file that would only be used on the pages I wanted the form to appear. It also has to be understood that the version of this plugin I was using at that time ONLY worked with WP 'pages'. It did NOT work with 'posts'. So this technique will also only work with pages - there has to be only one 'id' being displayed.
The normal place to call the sidebar is outside of the WP 'loop'. But a QP 'page', being a single entity does not really have a 'loop' because only one item is being displayed. So as long as the special sidebar template is being invoked after the page ID is determined it will inherit that ID and allow the form to work as it should.
If you page template has code such as:
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
(which by thre way, it doesn't need for the same reason that there is only a single id involved) then it is OK to call the sidebar AFTER that line of code has run because it will pnly be called once. It then gets the page ID abnd the form will work.

Thank you a lot for the explanation.
Oops. I thought that will be simplier. As a beginner I am not sure to get over.
However thank you for your time.
