    Writting a newsletter engine...

    I am writting a newsletter engine based off of the mail engine for umbraco v4.  So far it is working pretty nicely where I can create the newsletters and send them out to my group, now I need to have the ability to have people come to the site and join the email list.  They need to enter their email address and name, and then they will be added the the members section.  Then they need to be added to the newsletter group dynamically.  How can I achieve this?

    Evan -

    Here's a snippet from a simple Member creation routine we use frequently where we also add the new Member to a specific Member Group - like "NewsletterMember."

    string pwd = Membership.GeneratePassword(8, 1);
    string memberType = "your type";
    string memberGroup = "your group";
                            
    Member m = Member.MakeNew(encEmail, encEmail, MemberType.GetByAlias(memberType), new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0));

    m.Password = pwd;

    MemberGroup Group = MemberGroup.GetByName(memberGroup);
    if (Group != null)
      m.AddGroup(Group.Id);

    m.Save();
