BOUNTY - TXP front end LogIn/Register/User groups

sirNemanjapro · 2009-02-10 21:50:55

After a discussion in TXP General I’ve got on an idea that TXP, as great as it is, easiest CMS for template integration, period. It lacks certian features that will make him a true All-Round-CMS solution for all kind of websites.

I found that him to be a great main stream CMS it need’s:
- front end user registration \ login
- custom registration fields
- user groups
- manipulation with user groups and custom registration fields

I know this is a lot of work, so I would like to ask developers to gather around, and people like me, to raise money.
I think that this is worth about $300, and call upon people to join.

Im willing to chip in for $25 right now. So, we are just few donors shy.

I talked this over with JMD, so he will give detailed description about this.

AddOn idea. Not to pay too much attention, since I can get carried away with an idea. :)
How about to “tie” TXP with some forum software (phpBB, SMF, vBulletin, IPB, punBB) so that he can use existing forum registration/login/custom fileds.

Some random ideas from IM:

Tying into mem_self_register and ign_password_protect
Using mem_simple_form as the basis for registration
Using articles and custom fields to store additional user info (phone, address, preferences, etc.)

I’m not experienced in this realm or with any of those plugins, so I don’t really have anything more useful to add :).

You don’t want much then :-D

In three years of using TXP I’ve only needed front-end registration twice so I’m perhaps not the best person to have any kind of viewpoint on this. The times I’ve had to do it, mem_form, mem_self_register, rvm_privileged and ign_password_protect have always given me the required flexibility.

Sure, it’s not easy and not one-click stuff, but to build a simple plugin to suit a wide variety of web site requirements is a tall order. Combining the functionality of 3+ plugins smacks of reinventing the wheel a tad, but if it can be done in 64kB… cool.

As to the forum integration, that’s the holy grail of integrations that’s been talked about for years (hcgtv and jeremie were the biggest proponents I believe). I don’t know if any forums out there are sufficiently “open” to be able to do what you ask. They certainly never used to be, but things have moved on so perhaps some kind of ‘tie-in’ plugin can come of age.

Content mangement System seems not need user resgister/login system.

and Bloke:
what’s the “ign_password_protect “? protect my /textpattern/ dir?

renobird · 2009-02-11 04:59:16

fdsafdsa,

Content management systems sure do need user resgister/login system.
I use both all the time for a variety of purposes.

ign_password_protect

I use ExpessionEngine when I need these kind of features because they’re built into the core. I think that relying on plugins which may or may not be kept up to date as TxP gets updated too risky.

I like the idea as originally posted, and would not be put off just because others do not have this need.

I would use the capability often. I’m glad to add a $25 pledge to the bounty. My need is to have password protected sections, where different logins would display different content. I don’t want these to be standard Textpattern admin type logins, but separate logins for readers / subscribers only.

If ign_password_protect can do this, I haven’t been smart enough to figure it out yet.

Currently I’m using mem_form, mem_self_register and ign_password_protect, which seems to work well enough. The main problem I have with this method is that there isn’t the functionality to allow users to edit or delete there comments from the website.

Forum functionality would be good especially for PHPbb or punBB, but as it’s been said this seems to be the holy grail.

Don’t get me wrong, the need is there and if such a plugin was to exist I’m sure it would be incredibly useful. I’m just questioning whether one super-mega plugin is possible to a) suit all users, b) be as flexible as the 3 usual suspects

My need is to have password protected sections, where different logins would display different content.

OK. You can do that with ign_password_protect if you wish but…

I don’t want these to be standard Textpattern admin type logins, but separate logins for readers / subscribers only.

… by default the plugin uses the txp table for users. If you switch it over to use its own table (one of the plugin options does this) then I think you can create as many users and levels as you like and they are kept separate from the TXP logins. I might be wrong here as I’ve never used it this way.

Does other CMS software allow this? I’ve never seen a blog where I can delete or edit my own comments, but maybe I’m visiting the wrong blogs! That doesn’t mean it can’t be done, but it’s a different requirement to the system that sirNemanjapro is proposing. It’s probably a separate plugin because you don’t need an account to comment.

Thinking about it I guess your right. Maybe I’m thinking in terms of forums where when you’ve registered you can edit or delete your post. It could also be down to a friend of mine who has this feature built into her website, so I assumed other CMS’s might have it. She could have a custom build for her rather than CMS software though.

Anyway my bad back on topic :-)

I see only that we have now $50 down, we need $200 more. C’mon people its for all of us sake.

Katri · 2010-06-30 07:29:01

I think this is something that i´m looking for right now – so for the future, i´m more than willing to put $25 for this one.

I have tried Deadlock http://www.phpdeadlock.org/ with textpattern, because that would be great for users and for admin – just couldn´t get it working.
