I have a customer that is looking for a way to see the subscribe button when not logged in.  When clicked they want to have a way to either log in the user or register a new user.  

If they choose to register then would need a way to be able to quickly add a DotNetNuke user.  (Could be an external module (like Dynamic Registration) in a popup or something.  Then they could subscribe to the document change notification.

If they choose to log in then would need a way to be able to quickly log in a user (again could be an external module like Account Login or Dynamic Login, etc in a popup or something)  Then again they could subscribe to the document change notification.  

Right now I don't see a way of enabling the button when a user isn't logged in, any thoughts on a button that would help with this functionality.

Thanks for any assistance

Hi James,

We're already in email contact about this. For other viewers:

"The way this would work, I guess is that in DMX we change the subscribe button to a redirect when a user is not logged in. This is possible IMO. Then the browser would jump to another page where the user goes through all the steps you need. The trick is that the software that handles the registration must also handle the originally demanded subscription. There are several ways to go about that. We assume that the DMX generated redirect passes one or more parameters in the querystring. The simplest is that this software is tweaked to call the DMX API and handle the subscription and redirect back. The next solution would be to add a specific module on the DMX page so that a redirect with a specific command will cause the subscription. Finally we leave the user unsubscribed but redirected to the originally requested resource so he/she can click the button again. I guess this is not the way you'd like it.

In any case we need a custom login/registration solution. This can be based on Dynamic Registration but then the DMX tweak is needed. Alternatively it is created from scratch. This is not rocket science, btw."
