Signup Bar

The Better Taxes theme has a special Signup Bar module for collecting newsletter signups.

The theme automatically loads the Signup Bar in an <aside> immediately above the footer on all non-action pages. It is not shown on action pages such as donation, signup, petition, and similar form pages.

The bar loads its form from the signup page with the page tag join. In the current Better Taxes site, the signup page has the slug /join and is tagged:

The join tag is what identifies the signup page for the module; the slug can be different as long as the page keeps the join tag.

The homepage uses these tags on a subpage module, which places the Signup Bar higher on the page as well as keeping the automatic bar above the footer. The theme assigns unique form and field IDs to each instance so both placements can work on the same page.
