CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi there

I am trying to find out how to add email and password to the login form? Is there a manual on how to use these modules?

Many thanks in advance
CHEERS

Ok I finally figured out how to add the user, email, and password wohooo! Now once I log in. How do I display the content if I only added {FrontEndUsers} for the login and need it to redirect to another page? Hope that makes sense.

Ok, I read the manual and been at it all day. But still unable to add content to the logged in page. I tried and studied but no luck

Pretty much, all I did was add all the modules:
* CGExtension
* Front End Users
* CMSUsers (lol just in case)
* SelfRegistration
* CMS Forms

I added the form with the correct email and password logging me in, so far so good. But then I'm stuck from there.

I would appreciate an expert to guide me through please?

FROM THE MODULES HELP:

How do I use it:

After installation you can access admin panel to the FrontEndUsers module under the "Users & Groups" menu.

Secondly, you need to define at least one property. Properties are essentially field definitions, here you specify the type of information you want to gather, and limits. i.e: Name, Age, City, State, Country, etc.

Note: You do not need to define properties for username (or email address) and password, these will be provided for you

Note: New installations of the FEU module specify that the users email address is their username (this option can be changed in the modules admin panel). So if using this option you will not need to create an email address property.

Next you must create one or more user groups. When you create a group, you are asked for a group name, a description and to associate properties with that group, specify the properties sort order, and wether it is an optional, required, or hidden field (off is also valid)

Note: Before proceeding, you should ensure that the preferences are set correctly. Take some time here, there are numerous options.

Thirdly you should create some users. Adding users is a two step process. When creating a user you are asked for the username/email and password, and an expiry date for that user. You then must select the groups that that user is a member of, and click "Next"

Note: This is a labour intensive and boring process, it is easier to let users register themselves (See the SelfRegistration Module), and then you can edit their group information. but for testing purposes, please create at lest one user

Lastly, after the system has determined all of the information fields to be presented for that user, you are presented with a form asking for all of the required user information. Complete this form to complete the user addition

You are now ready to add the front end functionality to your site. This is as simple as adding the {FrontEndUsers} tag to your page or template. You must ensure that this page is set to "not cache" when editing the content page(s) where the login form is displayed. If you call the {FrontEndUsers} tag from within a page template, you must disable caching on all pages that use that template.

Adding protected content to your CMSMS site is as simple as creating new pages of type "Protected Content" and selecting which user groups (or all) that are allowed to view the page.

Ok, I read your comment 3 times, thanks. I am pretty confident I have followed everything that you have explained. So pretty much all I need is:
- Login form: email address and password and a login button.
- Only 1 user for email address and password (I don't need a registration form)
- Restricted Content page once they've logged in and a log out button.

Let's try again. I read the 'Hiding_Private_Content_in_CMS_Made_Simple' and on page 16 under the 'Creating The Login Page' heading. I have the exact same example on my page. I read this on pg16

"The layout of this content is controlled by the “Logout Template” in the FrontEndUsers admin panel."

So does that mean I can only add content to the logout template? I thought I was able to create a page and somehow restrict/protect content and then link to the logged in area.

I hope I didn't miss anything. Please help me.

Thanks

You read too much!

Everyting you need to do is stated in the "how do i use it" section Calguy quoted from the FEU module help. Nothing more and nothing less. Read it carefully again and make sure you do all the steps

Is there a way to delete the property name in User properties? As much as I can read but nothing is making sense to me. This is all I can do and want get this right:

I've been searching online for further assistance and stumbled over this: http://www.designerstalk.com/forums/soc ... these.html

That's odd how someone couldn't figure it out from this forum??

I am going to give myself one more day and if I can't figure this out then I will move on from here. Let alone there is no option to delete the 'properties' in 'User Properties'??

This has been the most frustrating module I've ever come across with

P.S This is all I want to do "Extensive flexibility for handling redirection after login, and sends events to extend the workflow process."

Ok I have a new question.

HOW DO I REDIRECT AFTER LOGIN?
