How To: Outputting from my plugin with the theme

    I'm trying out a newsletter script and when users confirm their email subscription they are taken to a plain screen. I'd like to wrap my plugin output with the theme.

    Has anyone done something like this before? Any hints or tips?

    hi,
    u need to edit newsletter.php in plugin folder and create a page for messages in ur wordpress.

    Example :
    for displaying "Thank you. You are subscribed now!" message with ur theme.

    step1:
    open newsletter.php in a text editor and replace the code (line no 286) 
    echo("Thank you. You are subscribed now!");
    Code (markup):
    with
    header( 'Location: http://www.ursite.com/thank_you/' ) ;
    Code (markup):
    save and upload it.

    step2:
    now login to ur blog and create a page with
    title "Thank you"
    description "You are subscribed now!"
    publish it.

    Done!

    now people redirect to http://www.ursite.com/thank_you/ instead of showing the message

    note: u can hide these pages from displaying in navigation bar using plugins.

    That's a great idea, thanks.

    I've changed my 404 page to include 
    <?php 
if (isset($_GET['msg'])) $msg = $_GET['msg'];
else $msg = "Sorry, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.";
?>
<h2 class="center"><?php echo $msg; ?></h2>
    PHP:
    so I won't need to have a hidden page, I just need to ensure that my newsletter script never calls a real page.
