Often, the easiest way to allow new login accounts and populate your membership database is to simply allow your members to request those login accounts themselves. You can do this by enabling the “Request a Login” option that appears on the web-site footer neat the bottom of the page (or sub-header near the top) depending on your configuration. Use the System Setup / Website Layout & Preferences / G-Website Layout settings to enable the request a login link.
To enable the “Request a Login” link on your web-site, change the value for “Show Request a Login Link”) to “Yes”. This will result in a new link called "Request a Login Account" appearing on the footer of the web page as shown.
The screen that visitors to your site will see when they select "Request a Login Account" is shown below. (the actual fields shown will depend on how your membership database is configured)
You can control where this “Request a Login Account” link appears on your web pages in the setup menus as well. If the value for “Show login area side panel” is to “Yes”, the web-site will make the “Request a Login Account” link easier to find by displaying it in the same area as the login block on the side panel menu. Similarly if your login area is configured to appear above the web page header, the request a login link will appear there.
You can determine whether the side panel login area apears using the "Show login area side panel" setting below.
There are still other ways to invite web-site users to create a profile on your web-site. You may embed a link in a web page, or create a menu option that points to the URL address:
http://myclub.com/create_account.php?mode=register
This will result in your own custom link calling the same “create account” function in the mode where the account is being “requested” rather than being created by an administrator.
