Login Page

Hi Craig,

That should be pretty easy.

Here's how I do it

At the top of the viewers, insert this code:
<?php require_once "cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php"; ?>
<?php include_once "/hsphere/local/home/gkornblu/thecmsbcookbook.com/spambot-email-protector.php" ?>
<?php if (!@$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_MEMBERSHIP_PLUGIN']) { die("You must activate the Website Membership plugin before you can access this page."); } ?>
<?php

// error checking
$errorsAndAlerts = alert();
if (@$CURRENT_USER) {
$errorsAndAlerts = "You are already logged in!<br><a class='special' href='{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_POST_LOGIN_URL']}'>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE WEB SITE</a> or <a class='special' href='?action=logoff'>LOG OUT</a>.";
}

?> And where you want to display the login form, use this code: <!-- USER LOGIN FORM -->
<?php if (@$errorsAndAlerts): ?>
<div class="heading-text"><br/>
<?php echo $errorsAndAlerts; ?><br/>
</div>
<?php endif ?>

<?php if (!@$CURRENT_USER): ?>
<form action="?" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login" />

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td class="body-text-bold">Username</td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(@$_REQUEST['username']); ?>" size="20" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="body-text-bold">Password</td>
<td><input type="password" name="password" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(@$_REQUEST['password']); ?>" size="20" /></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<br/><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" />


</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="left">

<br />
<br /> <a class="special" href="<?php echo $GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_REMINDER_URL'] ?>">FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD? CLICK HERE</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php endif ?>
<!-- /USER LOGIN FORM -->

Don't forget to set up paths to your reminder page and others in the head of the plugin.

Then, adjust the size and placement of the fields as required.

_____________________________________________

If you want to add users manually you can create new records in the User Accounts section the same way you'd set up any user.

If you add specific access fields you can specify levels of access via "if" statements in your viewers.

There's lot's more information on how to customize the plugin in my CMSB Cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com

Hope that helps,

Hi Craig,

Can you post a link to your site showing the problem?

Hi Chris


it is www.afft.com.au/newsite

Hi kcmedia,

You have a CSS rule which is pushing your username text field wide:

input { width: 270px; }

Does that help?

Hi Chris

Thanks for that i knew it was there somewhere just couldnt see it.

thanks

Craig
