LeadPage module for DrupalAt the time of this writing there isn't a Drupal module for LeadPages available yet.
But there is a way to have LeadPages pages on your Drupal website, your own domain! :)It's not as pretty as a Drupal module for LeadPages would be, but it allows you to act now, to implement and get results. <--- can be very valuable :D
1 - Get LeadPages
First: create a LeadPages account by clicking this link.
2 - Download and enable these modules
Next, download and enable these Drupal modules:
https://drupal.org/project/static_pagehttps://drupal.org/project/better_formats
(I'm assuming you already have your Drupal site up and running)
3 - Create a landing page content type
In your Drupal admin page go to Structure -> Content Types and click 'Add Content type' (or go to example.com/admin/structure/types/add)
Name it 'Landing page' and setup your content type as you see fit and save.
4 - Configure 'Landing page' as Static Page
go to Configuration -> Config static page (located at example.com/admin/config/content/static_page)
and check the box before 'Landing page' and save.
5 - Configure a 'No filter' text format
Use with caution. Allow this filter for trusted roles only.
Go to Configuration -> Text formats and click 'Add text format' (located at admin/config/content/formats/add)
Name it 'No filter' and make sure only 'administrator' is checked. Click 'Save configuration'.
6 - Set 'No filter' text format for the Landing page body field
Edit the body field of the 'Landing page' content type.
Check the box before 'Limit allowed text formats' and select 'No filter' as the only option.
And click 'save settings'.
7 - Get the source code of your Leadpages page
After creating a page in your LeadPages account, publish it with the settings selected below:
When you click 'Download HTML' you'll get a .html file. Open that with a text editor. You'll need it's source code.
8 - Create content and paste the source code
In your Drupal admin go to Content -> Add content, and click 'Landing page'.
Enter a title, and paste the HTML source code from step 7 into the body field.
Click save.
You'll be taken to the content on your page, for example example.com/node/3
Enter that url into a browser where you're not logged into the Drupal admin and there you have it:
your LeadPages landing page on your own Drupal domain!
Bonus: the page will update on your domain if you edit it from your LeadPages account!
