I don't think it's worth adding an actual Wordpress widget for this. We can just use a Text widget with the appropriate content - an input and a bit of Javascript to do a post to Civi. Template content - which could use some styling - is attached.

If we did add a widget, we can't just add it to the nycga theme, we need to add it to the theme used by each BuddyPress group blog. And each time somebody wanted to add the widget to their blog, they'd still probably have to coordinate with Tech Ops to get a CiviCRM profile set up for their group and get the correct group & profile ID.

I can take this project on. Please provide me with the required information, I'll test it on tech.nycga.net

Drew - you can copy the entire content of that HTML file I attached and paste it into a new Wordpress text widget, which presumably would go in the sidebar, maybe right above or below the "follow Tech Ops on Twitter" widget. You should see a text input and a button that says "Get email from this group" show up. These are defined at the bottom of the HTML file.

One issue with the current appearance is that it's not totally obvious that the text input and the button are associated - they are just two in a list of a whole series of widgets.

I've added the following code to the tech.nycga.net blog, but it's throwing a 302 error so I've set the widget to inactive.
