LoginBox / macmade.net¶

What does it do?¶

This extension provides a simple login box which allows you to define a different starting point for each instance of the plugin.

With the other login box systems, you have to specify a general record storage page for your frontend users. As other extensions also need such a storage place (like TemplaVoila, News, etc.), and since you are allowed to define only one general record storage page, you are forced to store everything in the same sysfolder, which can result in a confusing situation.

To avoid that, I decided to create this extension for my own Typo3 projects. As I heard of some users who where having the same kind of problem, I decided to make this extension public, in the hope that it will be useful.

In addition, a second plugin in this extension allows you to add a small login box in your template, to allow login from anywhere.

Screenshots¶

Here's what you'll get with this plugin:

Installation¶

The installation of this extension is very simple. Just connect to the Typo3 Extension Repository and download «LoginBox / macmade.net» (loginbox_macmade), located in the frontend plugin section. Note that you will also need to download the «Developer API» extension (api_macmade), as it will be needed by the plugin.

If you want to user permalogin, you'll also have to install the «FE Permalogin» extension (core_permalogin), which is suggested at the install time.

You are also encouraged to install the «TSLib Patcher» extension (tslib_patcher), so all the links and redirections will have the requested cHash URL parameter. You'll find more informations about this on the following URL: http://typo3.org/documentation/document- library/extension-manuals/tslib_patcher/current/

Then, on a page, just create a new content element, and choose «LoginBox / macmade.net» from the wizard.

Usage¶

lib.loginbox < plugin.tx_loginboxmacmade_pi2

temp.mainTemplate {
    template =< plugin.tx_automaketemplate_pi1
    workOnSubpart = DOCUMENT_BODY
    subparts.loginbox < plugin.tx_loginboxmacmade_pi2
}

Reference¶

Here's the complete reference of the TypoScript options for the plugin. Remember that you can set each one through the constant editor.

Customizing the main login box¶

You can customize the look of the main login box in your ts template (plugin.tx_loginboxmacmade_pi1.loginBox.layout). Here's the default layout that is used by the extension:

<tr>
    <td class="tx-loginboxmacmade-pi1-labelCell" width="25%" align="left" valign="middle">
        ###LABEL###
    </td>
    <td class="tx-loginboxmacmade-pi1-fieldCell" width="75%" align="left" valign="top">
        ###FIELD###
    </td>
</tr>

Customizing the small login box¶

You can use a custom template for the small login box. Here's the default one:

<!-- ###LOGIN### -->
<form action="###FORM_URL###" method="post" enctype="###FORM_ENCTYPE###">
    <input name="###USERNAME###" type="text" size="10">
    <input name="###PASSWORD###" type="password" size="10">
    <input name="submit" type="image" src="###EXT_PATH###res/login.gif">
    ###HIDDEN_FIELDS###
</form>
<!-- ###LOGIN### -->

<!-- ###LOGOUT### -->
<form action="###FORM_URL###" method="post" enctype="###FORM_ENCTYPE###">
    ###USERNAME###
    <input name="submit" type="image" src="###EXT_PATH###res/logout.gif">
    ###HIDDEN_FIELDS###
</form>
<!-- ###LOGOUT### -->
