README

This Contao bundle provides subscribe and unsubscribe forms for easy integration in Contao.

You may also change the order of this fields: In MailChimp, go to Signup forms > General forms > Signup Form and rearrange the fields via drag'n'drop. You then have to import the new field order into Contao, by simply re-saving the MailChimp list in the back end.
