How can someone sign up to an OLX list using a custom form?

Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck.  I believe that the only fields available for an OLX Sign Up form are first name, last name, and email address.  I've requested zip code a few times, as a tool in preventing duplicate records in RE, but so far, no dice.  I'd love to have the ability to add custom fields, so we can ask for specific interests, etc.  And I know the more fields in the form, the less likely folks are to fill it out, but if they're optional and clearly marked as such, I really wish we could have them.



You can set up a form outside of OLX that sends you the data from the form, which you can then manually enter in RE (or batch enter, or even set up an Import process to handle large volumes) and then just bypass the OLX Sign Up form tool altogether.  We do this for foster care inquiries.  That form asks for name, email address, how you found us, and a message box (where they usually explain a little bit about themselves).  The data is then sent in an email to a couple of people in the Foster Care program and to me so I can enter them in RE.  I add an attribute to those records, and that puts them in an OLX list so they start receiving our emails.



Also, check out the OLX Idea Bank and vote for this idea if it's there or add it if it's not.  I try to check out the Idea Banks periodically and vote/comment/add as much as possible.
