Login Link
 

How would I create a link to the login page instead of using the auth box form?

I have the same issue.

I tried creating a login.php, which calls Auth.tpl and it works, its just the page doesnt include the rest of the site...

it loses the header, footer, etc

what do i need to do to get this working?

edit [skin1]/common_templates.tpl and add something similar:

Note, place your login form from, auth.tpl in customer/main/login.tpl

Now just create the login.php file, with something like:


Should do the trick ;)

AWESOME

Thnx Boomer :twisted:

Sorry Boomer you totally lost me in the middle somewhere!
 

I have done the following:

Added

{elseif $main eq "mainlogin"}
{include file="customer/main/login.tpl"}

to the [skin1]/common_templates.tpl file


I have cut the login form from auth.tpl and pasted it onto the customer/main/login.tpl

I have the php file you kindly supplied, but where do I put this and how do I call it?

Tye

Re: Sorry Boomer you totally lost me in the middle somewhere
 

Php file goes in your /customer/ folder the one with the .php files in it (not the customer in skin folder) you just call it by going direct to mainlogin.php

eg http://www.youdomain.com/xcart/customer/mainlogin.php

Ahh! Got it!
 

Thanks

Hi there! I added the code and it works fine, but all of my categories disappear when the login.php page loads. Any ideas where they went? They appear on all other pages, just not login.php.

Thanks!

I see that you posted this question about 2 weeks back or so. If you didn't find the answer for this, it is suprisingly easy.

Your login.php file should read like this:

It was the ../include/categories.php that was missing. Also, now that we're at this point, don't forget to remove the if/else code in skin1/customer/home.tpl that calls "auth.tpl".

It might also be noted that by doing all of this, I had to change the paths in the original auth.tpl form to reflect a slightly different directory location, and then pasted into my new login.tpl page. at first the form action used "../../../include/login.php" and I had to change it to "../include/login.php"

Thank you! The client didn't seem to care so I kept it on the hush-hush. :) But, I'll fix it with this lil' snippet. Thanks again!

Can we take it a bit further..?
 

Does the link change if the customer logs in? For ex. if you put the link that says Sign In, does is say Sign Out once they have signed in?

If not, can we make it so that it does? The one good thing about the auth box is that it lets the customer know that they have successfully signed in by saying logoff. I know the customer can see on the login page that they have signed in but once you go to another page the customer may see the Sign in link and think that they are not signed in.

Also, does any one know of a "my account" mod where the wish list, profiles and the orders history links from the shopping cart have been moved onto a "my account" page?

Thanks,

elab

can anyone please tell me how I can make this work for version 3.5.3 ?

i get a 'parse error' on 'line 3'

anyone, please?

i figured it out myself...

login.php

I tried this but placing changes in common_templates.tpl file disables webmaster mode functionality. ANy ideas?

I tried different approach and created login.php with this in it:

<?php
require "./auth.php";

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";

$smarty->assign("main", "mainlogin");
$smarty->display("main/login.tpl");

?>

I copied login_incorrect code and created tpl file called login.tpl.

Now I get what I want: http://216.93.188.234/shopping/customer/login.php

But how do I get that to display within the regular page with header, footer etc...?

Thanks,
Predrag

Getting the following error with this mod...

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "shop/home.tpl" in /home/httpd/vhosts/shopgspot.com/httpdocs/Smarty-2.5.0/Smarty.class.php on line 1042


Can anyone help me out???

version: 3.5.4

I just get a blank page of nothingness!

Here is what my code looks like for my custom login.php

help! 8O

Are you on v3.5.5 by any chance?

Try this:

<?

require "./auth.php";
require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";
$smarty->assign("main", "mainlogin");
$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl");

?>

You will need to have something like this in your 'common_templates' file:

{elseif $main eq "mainlogin"}
{include file="customer/main/mainlogin.tpl"}

hope this helps

Hiya!
i am somewhere between 3.5.4 & 3.5.5 - xcart is doing funky mods.

i did exactly as you said: results are here:
http://shop.mpartworks.com/login2.php
and here is my blank page of nothingness:
http://shop.mpartworks.com/login.php

*grumble*
:)

I will post full code and instructions shortly.

Hi,

Creating a seperate 'Login' page:

Step 1 - Create a file named 'myaccount.php' in the folder '[xcart]/customer' in the root x-cart directory. i.e. NOT [skin1]/customer.

In the file 'myaccount.php' paste the following code, ensuring you leave no 'white spaces' at the bottom of the file.


Step 2 - Creating a page to inform Smarty of which template to use:

In [skin1]/common_templates.tpl add the following after the
first if statement:


Step 3 - Creating the 'login' page

Create a new template 'myaccount.tpl' in [skin1]/customer/main. Then simply copy the login code from: '[skin1]/auth.tpl, inbetween the '{capture} and {/capture} tags as we don't want smarty to base the login page on the 'menu.tpl' template place it between the tags ' and which should give you something that looks like:


You will need to create a link to call 'myaccount.php' and that is pretty much it.

This has been tested on v3.5.5.

You can of course change modify the template to your liking and should form the basis of a 'seperate' login page.

Any comments appreciated!

A much easier approach is to copy paste the <FORM>...</FORM> of the login source on your site and make small minor adjustments to images, and the action location of the form if need be, and paste it into a static page and just call it via pages.php?pageid=1 or such. :)

But this looks groovy :D

BOOMER, if you try my code, the navigation trail only shows the 'site name' and not 'sitename > My Account'. Am I missing something somewhere?

Cheers BOOMER

:wink:

Thanks BOOMER - your code worked a treat!

I got this code here from x-cart - hopefully it can help someone else!
(amazing, they did something fast & free!!)

FYI - i'd use the script by laureon

x-cart's version left much to be desired after i implemented laureon's version.

just an FYI for everyone! :)

this is all good stuff, but is there anyway to have a button that says login if the user isnt logged in and logout if the user is logged in, kinda like the way it works on the real auth box.

this would make the mod perfect.

any information would be greatly appreciated.

If you insert this code: {if $login eq "" } before the table tags as below:

{capture name=dialog}
{if $login eq "" }
<TABLE border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=100%>
{if $config.General.use_https_login eq "Y"}

then paste this code after the closing </table> tag and just above '{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title="My Account" content=$smarty.capture.dialog
extra="width=100%"}'


Hope this helps.

P.S - Tested and working on 3.5.6

Just wanted to add those running 3.5.5+ can just use the link customer/secure_login.php if they have a secure HTTPS server, its secure and a seperate login from customer/home.tpl.

Kudos.

Thanks B00mer! 8)
wish i woulda known that earlier :lol:

Separate Login Page help please
 

I would love to have a separate login page as well but I get a Runtime Error when I try to login from the new page. Login from old method which still is using auth.tpl works fine. I know this looks very simple but I can't figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Secure_login.php
 

Thanks for this "shortcut"

Problem is I after I log in, the page still displays the "secure login form"

How do I get rid of that.

My site: https://www.hrpolicyanswers.com/xstore/home.php

Click on "Your Account"

Help, I get an error
 

I am using x-cart 4.0.6 GOLD and when I follow the steps that laureon has given I get the following error:

ERROR: Can not initiate application! Please check configuration.

Can anyone explain, or fix the script to run with my version?

Thank you

Hello,

I believe that my walk-through may need to be adjusted to work on v4.x.x. I am currently using v4.x.x so might have a look at this myself at somepoint in the near future.

Cheers,
Leon

You anyone be interested in getting this to work? Or if it could be purchased? I need this asap. Someone on here must be able to get this to work

Why not use customer/secure_login.php or customer/error_message.php?login_incorrect

Either that or just copy the form into a static page. vwhalla ;)

If use the customer/secure_login.php... how can I make it so that its not secure, or both?

Can you post the code that I would need to place into a page? Can I make a myaccount.php page and past the code from the login form?


*note: I don't have a customer/secure_login.php page?

Here is mine from cart-lab [3.5.5]


secure_login.php in 4.0.x is in the root /

My hair is starting to fall out. Maybe, I'm just being stupid, but I am running out of time here.

This is what I am trying to do.

I copied the code from the home.tpl and made a myaccount.tpl:


Then I made a myaccount.php file and copied some code from the home.php file


I made a login_form.tpl to include the login form.

I when I do this I can't get the location to display or the categories, why?

Its this to intense? Can I just make a myaccount.php page, copy the code
from the home.tpl and change some stuff?

[/code]

Has someone made Leon's mod work with 4.013?

I got openning failed errors...
