UserId Module: Suggestion for future release

Currently I am trying out the User Id module and see how this is working and test it if I could add it to one of the websites I am currently developing. I still have a question (see other post) in this forum.

But I have a suggestion for the User Id module. Would it be possible to change the HTML structure of the login form? E.g. by using an .tpl file as is being done in the Skeleton module. To get more sematic output I want to get the following output:

Code: Select all

<form method="post" action="moduleinterface.php">
 <fieldset>
   <legend>Login form</legend>
   <label for="username">Username</label>
   <input type="text" id="username" name="username" />
   <label for="password">Password</label>
   <input type="password" id="password" name="password" />
   <input type="submit" value="sign in" />
  </fieldset>
</form>
Another suggestion: Another suggestion I have is to rename to module to 'Frontend login' as this more describes what this module is actual doing.

And another one: update the changelog with correct HTML. As when I now view the changelog I see /p> for some of the releasenotes.

The better solution to the login form would be to use a template..... sorta like the news module does.

You are right calguy1000 that would be better.

As I figured out how the 'User ID' module works (see this post) I have some other suggestions for the administration section of the 'user id' module:
  • Change the option text for 'Administrate UserID' as this isn't explaining what is does.
  • Enable the general options when you have activated to use the 'Use the user-DB of administration'.
    Now it is not possible to activate the options: Seconds of inactivity before expiring login, When user is logging off where should he/she be redirected, Allow users to get a new password by email if forgotten, etc.
  • When changing the settings and saving this the text 'Options saved! Use the user-DB [...]' is on the same line. It would be better if a line break will be added after 'Options saved!'
