Hey Brian, thanks kindly for the follow-up. So if I have you right on this, we can use the signup object AFTER initial signup and login, to collect more signup variables?

Hi Jedd – Sorry about that! It looks like asking for an email address in the activation form is not going to be possible then — it appears to be a limitation of that ‘page type’. Regarding point #2, you could use the ‘subpage’ or ‘include’ liquid methods to insert an HTML form that refers to a signup page in your nation. For example, most of our stock themes include a line of code in the Layout.html file that looks like this: <div class=“join-form span6”>{% include “signup_form” with site.signup_page %}</div>

That takes all of the HTML from a file called _signup_form.html, which is a basic html form asking for email address, and it places it on the homepage. So you could do something in the sidebar that says: {% if request.sorta_logged_in? == true and request.current_signup.has_email? == false %} <div class=“join-form span6”>{% include “signup_form” with site.signup_page %}</div> {% endif %}

The div surrounding the {% include %} tag may need some tweaking depending on which theme that you are using, but that should work if your theme has that “_signup_form.html” file and a signup page in the website.

Sorry for the delay Jedd – Just asked our theme team to take a look and give you an update!

Thanks for the information Taylor! Couple further questions:
1. Tried putting email into the activations template but NB returns this: Liquid error: email is not a valid form field for Activation.
2. If I did what they suggest and put a conditional message somewhere, what sort of a form would I put in there? {form_for activation}?

Jedd – I’m checking in with our theme team to see if this is something we can answer or something we need to keep as a suggestion – I’ll be back!

Actually I’m referring to Twitter specifically.
