CMS Made Simple Forums

Because calguy1000 developed a new module (named: CustomContent) I am trying to work with the UserId module as the 'CustomContent' module is dependent on that specific module.

I did the following in order to get the module working:

• Downloaded version 0.3.5. from the wiki and extracted this to the modules folder
• Installed the module via the installation link on the modules section
• Put the specific code [ {cms_module module="userid"} ] on a newly created page with the name: login
• Navigate to the newly created for on the website
• Filled in the userid/password and clicked the button 'sign in'

As a result of the above steps I receive each time the message 'Login Failed'. Question: Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Found the solution!

As I did not figured it out in the first place, it is maybe a smart idea to put it on the notes or on the wiki. The thing I thought was the following:

• Install the module
• Activate the frontend logon permission (Administrate UserID) for the usergroup
• Create a new CMSMS user
• Navigate to the frontend and login with this newly created user

This was a wrong idea as:

• I need to activate the option 'Administrate UserID' for the administrator.
• Then I need to navigate to the UserId module
• Check the option 'Use the user-DB of administration' and save the changes

and then I am able to login with the newly created CMSMS user.

OK I am having the problem you fixed and I still cannot figure it out.

I Installed the module. Went to my admin account and enabled the Adminstrate UseID. From here I created a user and password. Went to where I stuck the login code, logged in and got login failed. PLEASE HELP!!!!

The later versions of CustomContent work with the FrontEndUsers module just for your knowledge, though you haven't gotten that far yet. 

Todd, you need to create the new user from the Extensions>>UserID area in the admin not the Users & Groups area.

Just a guess.
