Converting Simplenews Subscribers to Users I was wondering if there is a way to convert SimpleNews subscribers into actual Drupal users?

Currently, I have something similar going on using custom fields in the user-register form, but wanted to know if I can leverage the Simplenews module for my needs.

I want to create a block where users can register to receive weekly e-mails in which they receive information about our weekly ad.

Cheers,

Elm

All you have to do is use rules, create a webform, and then use rules that handdles that webform and create the suscriber and the the user using the information sended through the webform
