Custom Block form post

Permalink
Hi,

I have a custom block which contains a form.
I need this form to post to an action in the controller. I have used the same code as a custom single page, but it wont post to the controller action..? Any guidance appreciated.

<-- Code from view.php -->
<form method="post" action="<?php  echo $this->action('signup')?>" class="form-inline"> 
       <label class="checkbox">Email:</label>
        <input type="text" class="input" name="email">
        <button type="submit" class="btn">Continue</button>
   </form>
<-- Code from controller.php -->
<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
class EmailSignupBlockController extends BlockController {
   protected $btInterfaceWidth = "500";
   protected $btInterfaceHeight = "350";
   public function getBlockTypeName() {
      return t('Email Sign Up');
   }
   public function getBlockTypeDescription() {

I am not sure if this will work, but you could try something like:
public function action_signup($email) {
  echo $email;
  ...
}


or

public function action_signup() {
  echo $_POST['email'];
  ...
}


Unlike single pages, actions in blocks need to have the prefix.
