When placed in the sidebar, the main area, or any Container you like, this widget will display a form to capture the User’s email (and optionally additional fields). This will quickly create an account for the User and register him to one or more email lists and/or it will register him to notifications about the current collection.

At a minimum, the capture form will have:

• A field named "Your email:" requiring an email address.
• A submit button with configurable text. Default: "Sign up!"

Optionally, you can also request first and/or last name:

User account creation: When submitting the form, if there is no error, a user account will be created without a password (the User may later request a password using the "Lost password" option). If no first name has been provided, a username will be generated by taking out the abc.def part of an email like abc.def@provider.com (the valid chars depend on Login & Registration Security Panel ).

Asking for additional user details: After the email capture, you may or may not ask the user for more info, including a password. See: Options for All Registration Methods Panel.

Please note:

• Quick registration must be enabled in Standard Registration Panel, otherwise the widget will display an error message.
• If the user is already logged in, this widget will display nothing.

Alternative placement

This widget can also be called within any Post/Article/Page content by using the Emailcapture Short Tag.
