Which, for the record, in English is…?

(Google Translate didn’t quite do your native tongue justice and I fear it may have suffered in the translation)

Hi Patrick

The behaviour is on front office not on back-office, the logout is made on front-office too, try it and you will see it, it s not a big problem but when someone logout he expect to see the resulte of logout! i tried the redirect function but havent succeded to solve that.

in French

Salut patrick

Le comportement décrit est sur le site web et non l’admin de txp, la déconnexion est faite sur le site et non le backend, j’ai aussi essayé d’utiliser la redirection (au niveau du front office) mais le résultat est le même.
Ce n’est pas un drame mais c’est un peu gênant car quand on se déconnecté on espère voir affiché une page qui montre bien qu’on est déconnecté.

Cheers

Hello !
J’utilise ce plugin sur 2 sites maintenant (c’est tout récent).
Il me semble – mais je me trompe peut-être – que j’ai eu ce problème là à cause d’erreurs dans le code généré.
Regarde si tu n’as pas un plugin mal utilisé quelque part …
Es-tu en mode exploitation / debuggage ?
Le fait est que tout est devenu OK après nettoyage de mes erreurs.

In my bad english …

This very useful plugin works bad if other plugins generate bad code.
My little experience on 2 sites : same behaviour as above. When I clean my code and remove some errors, all works fine.

Win an iPod for your next post in English language ;)

Hi

Solved the problem by using cbe_frontauth_redirect, i used it before but maybe there was an error in the code, the debugging mode of textpattern dont interfere with the problem

Thanks all for the help
Merci à tous pour votre aide

Seconde chose : as-tu bien renseigné une URL de redirection pour l’événement de déconnexion ? C’est à ce niveau que s’effectue le rafraîchissement – nécessaire – que tu mentionnes.

@Stef & @Uli:

The problem is now solved (and identified in my french answer ;) : it came with the redirect attribute into cbe_frontauth plugin.

I’m very sorry, but it’s DragonDz the first french speaker in his post!

Cheers all,

Hi all.

<txp:cbe_frontauth_loginwith value="auto | username | email" />

I think this new feature need some details and examples. How to use it? Instead of <txp:cbe_frontauth_logname label="Name" wraptag="" class="text-field" />?
What about the <txp:cbe_frontauth_password /> tag into this process? Do we have to use only one cbe_input for login or the two tags are always needed?

Cheers,
Pat.

<txp:cbe_frontauth_loginwith /> is meant to set a global initialization. It is at the same level as <txp:cbe_frontauth_redirect />.

It tells the plugin that the identifier will be, everywhere, either the username (as usual), or the email, or any of them (i.e. automatic detection, this is the default).
So here we go :

<!-- At the very beginning !-->
<txp:cbe_frontauth_loginwith value="email" />

<!-- Now, if I try to connect with my username, it will fail and I have to use my email address. !-->

<!-- And later !-->
<txp:cbe_frontauth_login wraptag="div" class="auth">
  <txp:cbe_frontauth_logname label="Name" wraptag="" class="text-field" />
  <txp:cbe_frontauth_password label="Password" wraptag="" class="text-field" />
</txp:cbe_frontauth_login>

Basic usage will work too :

<!-- Identifier must be the email address !-->
<txp:cbe_frontauth_loginwith value="email" />
...
<!-- Display adapted form whether we are connected or not !-->
<txp:cbe_frontauth />

…Sure gal. Maybe to be added into the doc for newbies (like me;)

Finally got round to using this in anger. It’s brilliant, thanks Claire. I love the flexibility of being able to use the quick combo frontauth_box, and being able to mix and match attributes / forms / containers and dedicated tags to build up my own login / logout / protection logic.

One thing I’d like to find out is how to display a message if login failed for some reason. I can display an invite message easily for visitors to the page, but if they subsequently type their username/password wrong they are just returned to the login box with no explanation why.

Is there some combination of cbe_ tags I can employ to detect this situation (not logged in AND recent unsuccessful login attempt) so I can offer the visitor some assistance? Or would it need an additional tag like, hmmmmm, off the top of my head:

<txp:cbe_frontauth_login>
   <txp:cbe_frontauth_error type="fail_login" wraptag="div" class="oops">
      Could not log in. Please check your login name and password are typed correctly.
   </txp:cbe_frontauth_error>
   <txp:cbe_frontauth_error type="empty_logname" wraptag="div" class="warn">
      Please type a login name before trying to log in.
   </txp:cbe_frontauth_error>
   <txp:cbe_frontauth_error type="empty_password" wraptag="div" class="warn">
      Please type a password to log in.
   </txp:cbe_frontauth_error>
   <p>Username<br /><txp:cbe_frontauth_logname label="" /></p>
   <p>Password<br /><txp:cbe_frontauth_password label="" /></p>
   <div id="login_btn"><txp:cbe_frontauth_submit label="Go" /></div>
</txp:cbe_frontauth_login>

(btw, I’m using the Some label<br/><txp:cbe_frontauth_... label="" /> format because the tag doesn’t support break="br", right?)

Perhaps text and form attributes would be useful for people who don’t want to use the container and prefer to specify the error string inline, or in a reusable Form (hehe, the contents of text could even be passed to gTxt() first for a neat l10n solution!)

As a possible extension, being able to supply a list of error types would cut down on the amount of typing (the last two error conditions could then be rolled into one ‘Please complete both input boxes to log in’). <txp:else> support would also be cool, so we could choose to display a custom invite message only when there are no errors detected.

Alternatively, you could operate like mem_form and ign_password_protect do things by setting a global error string that holds the last encountered error. Then a simple <txp:cbe_frontauth_error wraptag= | class=> could be used to display it. Of course, this is less friendly for international users and requires you to set the error message in the code, which might be less than desirable. Or maybe some hybrid solution (or something entirely better).

Any thoughts? Perhaps I’m just missing something obvious.

Thanks again for a fantastic plugin.
