I'm trying to integrate an external form for registering users via the user plugin. Basically, I have a page called city where users can sign up for a location based newsletter. On the city page there is a form where they can signup using just their e-mail address. Below is an example of the form:

<form
    data-request="onRegister">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="registerEmail">Email</label>
        <input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" id="registerEmail" placeholder="Enter your email">
    </div>
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Register</button>
</form>

The two problems that I am having are: 1) I currently have "data-request="onRegister"", however the city page is generated inside of a separate plugin. How can I reference the onRegister function in the user plugin? 2) My desired functionality is that a password is automatically generated and then an activation e-mail is sent to the user where they can login and generate their own password. How can I do this?
