I only got round to adding the new Join module to a site this morning. It is very slick and so much better than the previous modules. Thanks very much.

I'm going to close this design sketch because it's been implemented, and expand the spec at http://blog.wikidot.com/design:20 to allow Join to do sign in/out.

Okay, [[module Join button="Join this site"]] will make a button appear saying 'Join this site', but when I click on it, it disappears (as it's obviously not needed any longer)

Why not use the same button as a "logout" link? I didn't know that the button was working because (obviously) the sites I tried it on, I was a member of! XD

Actually, a better idea. How about a button that imitates the 'logout' link at the top of the page?

[[module Join button="Join this site"]] [[module Logout button="I've gotta go!"]]

The above code would only show one button at a time:

Join when anonymous or logged-in/non-site-member
Logout when logged-in/site-member

A signed-in member would see nothing; the embedded form would show nothing. Optionally, it might show "Sign out".

I like this idea. I could then put the Join module into my nav:top page and it could show one of three options:

Sign in (for anonymous)
Join this site (for Wikidot members that aren't site members)
Sign out (for site members)
