Add user info submission form

james-minton commented 4 years ago

Specs:

User can enter their email address and "submit" via a "band" present on every site page (just above footer)
Pressing submit takes user to another page, /signup
This page has a form allowing additional info to be submitted, or user can press a button to complete the form
The email address entered in the first step is carried forward to the signup page

The form code that routes the info to the client's database is supplied in a file on a separate branch.

Signup page content:

Almost done!

We'd love to know more about you. You can enter additional info below, or click here [same function as "submit" button below] to finish and submit only your email address.

First name [ .......] Last name [ ....... ] Email address [auto-filled] Organization [ the id and name for this field should be "company" to work with the database, but we can label it "organization" on the front end ] Neighborhood [ ...... ] SUBMIT (button)

Submission of form will direct user to /thankyou page.

"Thank you" page content:

Thanks for submitting your info!

(Then can we either a) redirect them to the page they started from with the message "redirecting in x seconds to ...'; b) redirect to homepage; or c) give them a button to take them back to the homepage?)

@james-minton first draft in. Very basic styling of form, leaves much to be desired... but works. Currently redirects directly back to home. Can do the /thankyou route with a link home, but will take a bit more time (especially to apply any styles), going to focus on other things for now

if you want to tinker with it, you can set DEBUG => true (and change the debugEmail)

Also I noticed the FAQ How can I stay informed about updates to the CRE? - I can route here, and maybe change the top text for users who land here without an email entered. could just be the signup band text, "Subscribe to our e-mail updates"

@hoshmn ah gotcha, I'd imagined it at first as being just a scroll-down link to the signup area on the page, but I think your idea is better?

hoshmn commented 4 years ago

hmm yeah, that could work too. one more click, but everyone loves an auto-scroll :)
