Custom template

Hi,

Wonder if anyone could help with using custom templates.

I want to have a login option within the header which displays the username if already logged in

so if your not logged in you would have in the header

login | Register

and if you are logged in you would get

Welcome back bennyb | logout

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

I wanna have a go at this myself but not really sure where to start. Do i need to create snippet that will look at if the user is logged in or not and show different chunks depending if they are logged in or not.

Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben.

Just put the WebLoginPE call in your template where you want the output to appear. The call would look something like this.

where `25` would be the MODx document id for the page with the WebLoginPE login form and `26` would be the MODx document id for the page with the WebLoginPE profile form.

then make two chunks. One called "benLogin" and the other called "benWelcome".

benLogin Chunk:

27 would be the MODx document ID of a page with a standard [!WebLoginPE!] call in the content area.

benWelcome Chunk:

Thanks Scotty for the reply and a great snippet,

Got it sort of working, but a couple of things when registering a user.

First if i click Register i’m taken to the register page which has the &type=`verify` i fill in the details and click register. I’m then taken to the login page which has overlapping it a register form which is coming from the weblogin call in the header. I’ve attached a screen shot. And at the bottom of this post are the calls i’m using.

Can i also just check a couple of things with your instructions, you said:
1)
&regHomeId=`25`
where `25` being the WebLoginPE login form
How comes regHomeId doesn’t link to a registration page?

2)
For the benWeclcome chunck do i need to specify an id page for the logout option as its only got [~[*id*]~]

Welcome Back [+user.username+]! | <a href="[~[*id*]~]?service=logout" title="Logout">Logout</a>

These are the calls i’m using

Reg page:
[!WebLoginPE? &type=`register` &regType=`verify` &registerTpl=`register` &regRequired=`email,username,fullname` &customFields=`company` &groups=`registeredusers` !]

login:
[!WebLoginPE? !]

profile:
[!WebLoginPE? &successTpl=`welcomeuser` !]

Thanks again for the response.

Sounds to me like it’s a CSS issue, rather than something in WLPE. Can’t tell without a link to the code, though.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I’m pretty sure it’s not a CSS problem, as the login and register works fine when a webloginpe call isn’t within header.
Also I placed the header weblogin call in the template without any styles as just trying to get the functionality working first. And as you can see from the image I attached the registration form is being generated from the call that is within the header but i don’t need this call to generated the registration call as this is already being generated in the main body. What i have done to get around this is within the header weblogin call i’ve specified a blank chunk for &registerTpl and this sort of works but now the header doesn’t display anything.

Thanks

Ben

benWelcome Chunk:

Welcome Back [+user.username+]! | <a href="[~[*id*]~]?service=logout" title="Logout">Logout</a>

Hi,

First of all a big thanks for a great snippet!

I have been mad with this service=logout for some time tonight.
The thing is that I didn’t really checked what I cut’n pasted.

There should be a &service=logout instead of ?service=logout.

My mistake not checking the code, but when trying out something as a noob like me stuff like that can bring you down

And I get the same problem as bennyb.

It’s the main

That shows the register page when you pressed Register on the register page (id=13).

Did you solve that?

Again, thanks for the great snippet!

Ah, you see.

Thanks, I will RTFM some more before I put out faulty posts in the forum..

Do you have any ideas how to make the main script not to show the register page too when registering?
