-------------------- Snippet: Login -------------------- Version: 1.7 Since: June 21, 2010 Author: Jason Coward Shaun McCormick This component loads a simple login and logout form. It also comes packaged with ForgotPassword and ResetPassword snippets, which allow the user to put in their username or email to receive a confirmation email which will reset their password. Example for Login: [[!Login]] You can also specify the template: [[!Login? &tpl=`myLoginChunk`]] See the snippet properties for more options. -------------- ForgotPassword -------------- To use the password retrieval functionality, first create the Resource the user will log in to should they click on the confirmation email, and put the Reset Password snippet in. Tell it what Resource the Login snippet is in - or where you'd like it to provide a link back to: [[ResetPassword? &loginResourceId=`72`]] Then create another resource with the Forgot Password snippet, and tell it what Resource the Reset snippet is in: [[!ForgotPassword? &resetResourceId=`123`]] -------- Register -------- To use the Register snippet, simply place the Snippet in the Resource where your HTML register form is. (A default one called lgnRegisterFormTpl has been provided.). This snippet also requires Activation by the User, so they will get an email in their inbox regarding their signup. In your form field names, you can use validation filters to validate your fields. They are separated with the colon : symbol. Example: will require that the password field not be empty, and have a minimum length of 6 chars. You can encapsulate validator params (6 here) with ` if the param has spaces in the name. The default validators provided are: required blank email password_confirm=`nameOfPasswordField` minLength=`123` maxLength=`123` minValue=`123` maxValue=`123` You can also do custom validators by creating a Snippet and using that as the validator name. Example: We create a Snippet called 'equalTo' and on our field, we set: Now, in our snippet, our code would look like so: Returning true will make the field valid. Any other return value will be the error message. Snippets get passed the following parameters: - key: The name of the field. - value: The value of the field. - param: The parameter, if applicable, passed to the validator. - type: The name of the validator. - validator: A reference to the lgnValidator instance.
