Re: cbe_frontauth: Connect to (and disconnect from) backend from frontend
Hello Claire,
i am struggling with a strange behavior only in Chrome :
cbe_frontauth_redirect used
when entering the credentials in the login form and submitting , form get submitted but the page still show the login form.
Then if i hit the “connect” button (nothing else in the form) the protected content appear.
Weardest : if i reload the page (using the adress bar) protected content disappear and i get the login form again. Hitting “connect” will show me the protected content.
I just can’t make anything logical about this !
If you can give any idea where i should look ?
Edit 13/02 : after some more test it is my plugin fault. This did not happened in local server.

Hi claire
I made a little modification to your plugin, it is about the class css, the checkbox cant be set freely it s allways “checkbox” due to checkbox funtion limitation in textpattern , i also needed a class for labels then i made changes in code to add a class, the change is not perfect, the best way was to add a labelclass into the call but i havent enough time to improve it that way.
May be add it to your todo list.
Cheers

This is a great plugin… thanks so much… I notice bloke asked for some functionality that I too would have expected and don’t see… failed login message
Did this ever get resolved, added? I don’t see it.

A very-quick update has been just released.
If login fails, an error message appears before the login form. Its wrapping tag (default: span) and class (default: cbe_fa_error) can be customised:
<txp:cbe_frontauth_box tag_error="p" class_error="err_msg" /><txp:cbe_frontauth_login tag_error="p" class_error="err_msg" />Messages are now customisable too by editing the first function (_cbe_fa_lang()). Their default values are as much as possible pulled from the default language (i.e. table txp_lang).
The <txp:cbe_frontauth_invite /> tag and various invite attributes are still present for backward compatibility, but you will probably find more convenient to directly edit the plugin.
Reminder: the plugin page is here.

Re: cbe_frontauth: Connect to (and disconnect from) backend from frontend
Hello Claire, just wanted to say thanks for creating this fantastic plugin we use it to control access to a multi user intranet system. I have managed to use your plugin to display a customised “restricted message” when a user privs are too low, and wanted to share it with anyone else thats trying to do the same thing.
This (with correct styling) will give you a login page with javascript and cookie enabled message (disabled login button if not enabled). A whois logged in, logout and edit buttons when logged in. And a message from HAL 9000 if you enter an area without sufficient privs. Hope this helps someone setup a quick access control system using this plugin. Thanks again claire, we will be donating (:
At the top of my page i have:
<!-- START HAL RESTRICTED ZONE -->
<txp:cbe_frontauth_protect level="4,5,6,7">
<object style="visibility:hidden; height:0px">
<param name="autostart" value="true">
<param name="src" value="/media/cantdo.wav">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="/media/cantdo.wav" controller="true" autoplay="true" autostart="True" type="audio/wav" />
</object>
<h1 style="color:white; margin:auto">I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that</h1>
<style>
body {
background-image: url('/images/20120716-Hal-9000.jpg');

Re: cbe_frontauth: Connect to (and disconnect from) backend from frontend
Hi Claire,
Your recent changes with error messages were a life saver. Do you think you could just borrow mck_login’s error mechamism, which handles multiple scenarios and language packs. Just a thought…

Re: cbe_frontauth: Connect to (and disconnect from) backend from frontend
After having a look at mck_login, have thought it is now complete (more than cbe_frontauth) and mature, and thinking in terms of complementarity, the logical conclusion is: I strongly suggest that you switch to it to benefit from all its advantages :)

Re: cbe_frontauth: Connect to (and disconnect from) backend from frontend
I would like to use cbe_frontauth. One of the benefits of cbe that I would love to use is using email as login field. That is a great feature.

Ah… well. It’s just that something else is cooking in my pot. I think it would be faster if Jukka agrees to borrow and adapt lines 757 to 763 :)
