Weblogin PE Usage

Hi,

I need a Members Area on my site and want to use WebloginPE. But there is no example for Useage in the whole World Wide Web.

What steps are nessersary to get a regisering form working, that based on a chunk called WPE_register.

Thanks for help

That’s a great question and I’m surprised no one has responded yet; but I’m figuring out WebLoginPE from the very beginning at the moment. As soon as I can finally get something working, I will write a complete tutorial on how to actually get this thing to work on your site from A to Z. At the moment, it is all trial and error. I’m a bit surprised that for all of the cool things about this snippet, it is not so good at informing users how to actually get it set up. But that’s not so bad; at least we have something to work with in the first place!

Hopefully, I will get that tutorial together soon.

Well,

It’s nice, that you’ll write a tutorial but schouldn’t do tha autor of the snippit such kind of things :-D

Scotty does have a extensive docs site for WLPE that explains all of the functions --- like most of MODx, this isn’t meant to be an "install and forget" type of snippet. You need to set it up as you need it, so it makes your site unique, instead of being a Mambo/Joomla!-ish clone.

Indeed, it’s very hard to just say "do this and do that and it’s done". I would say that 90% of the dozens of sites I’ve built using MODx needed very customized elements. It’s either hack through core code like I had to do with every CubeCart install I did, then have lots and lots of fun trying to figure out which "mod" is breaking the other ones, not to mention trying to upgrade, or have tons of parameters, events and view templates to learn how to work with like MODx does. I suppose that’s kind of hard on the guy who just wants to set up one site, but it leaves an amazing flexibility for the "professional" developer.

That’s why the Wiki is such a fantastic resource. As developers do different things, they write their experiences there so that others who need something similar can see how it’s done.
