I want to setup a page for newsletter signup (Email Marketing). Therefore I have set up a paragraph with the Extranet app and these modulesettings:

Create profile / Manage subscription = selected
Create user - Template = "email_subscribe.html" (the standard template)
Create user - Approval = "By user"
Create user - Group for new users = an existing user group
Create user - Update existing users based on email match = selected
Create user - User email for user name = selected

Now when go to the subscription page and entering an email address and submitting the form I get "Error in the input field "Password": The password cannot be empty". Why doesn't this setup work out of the box?

Running DW v9.3.4

Hi Lars,

Yes, I've reproduced the issue on my environmet with Extranet module frontend has the settings mentioned above. Actually, the subscription works correctly when 'User email for user name' option is not checked, the user name of the user created is the email in the case. Perhaps, the option should be hidden for the subscription mode. New TFS 40406 has been created, will be fixed on further hotfix/release.

Thanks.

6 years later and I still find myself spending way too much time doing a simple newsletter sign up form. I have the Extranet app with these settings:

Show: Create profile / Manage subscription

And this code:

@foreach (var error in GetLoop("FormValidationErrors"))
 {
<div class="alert alert-danger mb-3" role="alert">
  @error.GetString("UserManagement:User.FormValidationError.Message")
</div>
 }

@GetString("UserManagement:User.FormStart")
<input type="hidden" name="UserManagementForm" value="1">
<label class="form-label fs-7 mb-0 opacity-75">@Translate("Your email")</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control placeholder="@Translate("Email")" name="UserManagement_Form_Email" id="UserManagement_Form_Email" value="@GetString("UserManagement:User.Email")" required />
<label class="form-label fs-7 mb-0 opacity-75">@Translate("First name")</label>
<input type="text" id="CustomerFirstName" class="form-control" placeholder="@Translate("First name")" name="UserManagement_Form_FirstName" value="@GetString("UserManagement:User.FirstName")" required onchange="updateFullName();" />
<label class="form-label fs-7 mb-0 opacity-75">@Translate("Last name")</label>
<input type="text" id="CustomerLastName" class="form-control" placeholder="@Translate("Last name")" name="UserManagement_Form_LastName" value="@GetString("UserManagement:User.LastName")" required onchange="updateFullName();" />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="OptInCategory" value="" required /> @Translate("I consent to be included in your email database")</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" id="CreateNewAccountButton">@Translate("Sign up")</button>
@GetString("UserManagement:User.FormEnd")

Yet when I submit, I get this:

My email is not empty! And I do not what to supply a password as I am just signing up a user?

What to do?
