Setting up a login page

Some of this extension's features require a FE user to be logged in, for example the event registration, the event management in the FE or access to the attendee lists. If you are not using any of these feature, you can skip this chapter.

Selecting which login plugins to use

There are two possible scenarios for the login page:

1. You have (recurring) visitors that log in to your site in order to register for events, to unregister again, or to manage events. In this case, you will need regular login form using the felogin extension that comes with the TYPO3 Core.

2. You want people to register for your events, but you do not want bother them with having to create an account. In this case, you will need the onetimeaccount extension.

If you want to cover both scenarios, you can also use both plugins (on the same page.)

Allowing users to create an account with a double-opt-in process before they can log in is not, supported, though. (In that case, the redirect parameter to the registration page in the link to the login page will get lost.)

Selecting which onetimeaccount plugin to use

The onetimeaccount extension comes with two plugins:

One-time FE account creator with autologin

Do not use this version anymore. (It was needed for the legacy seminars registration form that got removed in seminars 5.0.

One-time FE account creator without autologin

Use this version with the the rewritten seminars registration form that was introduced in seminars 4.3.0.
