cbe_frontauth: Connect to (and disconnect from) backend from frontend

CeBe · 2014-04-04 16:48:43

Is it related to forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=280055#p280055 ?
If it is, I confirm that there is something missing : last login date is not set, and it definitely should >_<

Now, more precisely about your question : if you can tell when someone logs in, it’s more difficult to tell when (s)he leaves. If (s)he logs out, you can say that (s)he leaves… but (s)he can leave without logging out and you then have to perform some sort of magic to determine whether (s)he is still here or not.

But let me first fix this stupid last access bug.

Hi…
Yes it is, I was trying to find a way around that issue, but if your plugin get the info from the same lace, guess it would not resolve it….
It is weird, it works on some logins, but not others.. I created an account to test it, made sure I logged on and off, multiple times, but never shoes any last logon info…

Not the biggest deal really, wanted to keep tabs on users, but can live without…

Thank you for the help..
Fidel

V0.9.5 can now be downloaded. It fixes the bug described above (last login date not set in database).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

For those who want to know :
As Stef mentioned, I use core functions. The one which stores this date is txp_validate() but it was called with the last parameter (whether to store login date or not) set to FALSE o_O and I really don’t remember why.

ETA, Apr 7: it is v0.9.6 now, another bug has been reported.

Hi Claire:

It will be nice if you could add a param (perhaps named “placeholder”) to cbe_frontauth functions to define placeholder params for de inputs. I don’t find the way to this with the plugin:

<input type="text" name="p_userid" placeholder="enter your username here" ... /> 
<input type="password" name="p_password" placeholder="enter your password here" ... />

Anyway it’s a super nice plugin! Thanks a lot.

Why wouldn’t you just insert it with etc_query:

<txp:etc_query data="cbe_frontauth tags"
	replace="//input[@name='p_userid']@@placeholder=enter your username here;
		//input[@name='p_password']@@placeholder=enter your password here" />

You can alter any attribute of any tag this way.

Nice method! I have hardcoded my inputs but I’ll give it a try, thanks.

Hi,

Does anyone tried to use aks_header with cbe_frontauth?
I had a problem with the cbe_frontauth_logout tag when gzip was set to 1 in aks_header.
Both Firefox and Chrome display an encoding error when “logout” is clicked.
I removed the link but I thought it could be useful to report that…

Another thing is that when I logged out, the protected content continued to be display untill the page was refreshed. Is it normal?

Anyway, thanks Claire for this useful and easy to use plugin.

Is there anyway to restrict access to a specific email address within the frontauth tag please? So one a single specific user can access something? Thanks!

I must admit that I didn’t…

I’m planning to host the plugin on GitHub, so that anyone can fix bugs and improve it. I don’t have time for plugins at the moment :(

Not sure. Have you tried the <txp:cbe_frontauth_redirect /> tag ?

<txp:cbe_frontauth_redirect
    for="login | logout | login,logout"
    value="after_login_url | after_logout_url | after_login_url,after_logout_url" />

A user can login with his username or his email and it is automatically detected.
Then you can retrieve his name and restrict access on content using:
(warning :) untested!)

<txp:cbe_frontauth_protect name='<txp:cbe_frontauth_whois type="name" />'>
  What to protect
<txp:else />
  What to display if not connected
</txp:cbe_frontauth_protect>

Thanks Claire! :) You are a legend for this plugin, it’s so handy!

CeBe · 2015-04-23 20:09:17

Huhu… Thank you :)
And thanks to Pat64 too, who had the idea.

The plugin is now hosted on Github.
