sorry, guess at this point you are right.
backend would be for publishers who aren't admins.

as far as I'm concerned with, I'd try to grant access only to/as FE user and once they are logged in, the hidden structre level/pages should appear.

this is the way I understand the login panel...

You almost scared me

Glad you have the same understanding as me/us
regarding the frontend login mechanism.
Otherwise, there would be no need for this.

Exactly !

And this is what I am striving for now...

I guess only Oliver will be able to shread some light on this...

To correct login check against "frontend" marked user in backend user administration do this small change:

Open front.func.inc.php and change line 2981 to:

Code: Select all

$sql .= "usr_aktiv=1 AND usr_fe IN (0,2) LIMIT 1";

Other points!!!
FE Login URL is NOT the redirect link AFTER login. This is where users trying to open secured structures are redirected too - so this normally is the page contais login form.

As I told this is just a very simple solution - not the final FE solution. Put your links to LOGIN_IS section of fe_login template.

Is or will it be possible to give certain user access to special sites?

E.g. : User A and User B have access to site 0701
and User C to G have access to site 0702
and User H has access to site 0701, 0702 and 0703

I think, what 'Nordlicht' wrote is what 90% of us were waiting for...

why do you not read carefully what I write! It's not possible at the moment! I have told this very often.

Hi all

the FE login works - thanks everybody for clarifying.

What I don't find out yet is how to redirect a user to a specific page after the login was successful - e.g. to "{SITE}index.php?aid=287"

Where and how in the template code would I have to put it?

Code: Select all

<!--LOGIN_IS_START//-->
<div class="feLoggedIn">

	<h3>Nice to see you again.</h3>
	<p>You are logged in under {LOGIN}</p>
	
	<form action="{FORM_TARGET}" method="post" name="feLoginForm" id="feLoginForm">
		<p class="button">
			<input type="submit" value="Logout" name="feLogout" id="feLogout" />
		</p>
	</form>

</div>
<!--LOGIN_IS_END//-->

Thanks a lot

This is not recommend at the moment!!!! And there is a simple reason for it!

As I always told - this is just step one of "frontend" permissions. For me redirecting after login makes no sense. I recommend to put links to such access restricted content inside template section "LOGIN_IS". Then there you can also set some javascript based redirection if necessary.

Code: Select all

<!--LOGIN_IS_START//-->
<div class="feLoggedIn">

   <h3>Nice to see you again.</h3>
   <p>You are logged in under {LOGIN}</p>
   <p>Access restricted section now: <a href="index.php?restricted">Members only</a></p>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
// OPTIONAL IF YOU STILL WANT TO HAVE 
// AUTO-REDIRECT AFTER LOGIN
window.location.href='index.php?restricted';
//-->
</script>
   
   <form action="{FORM_TARGET}" method="post" name="feLoginForm" id="feLoginForm">
      <p class="button">
         <input type="submit" value="Logout" name="feLogout" id="feLogout" />
      </p>
   </form>

</div>
<!--LOGIN_IS_END//-->

Is there a registration form for FE?

No, not yet. Coming within next days (or weeks).

This FE login is really starting off very cool

Hello everybody,

I read this thread and I must say it's not quit clear to me.

So I don't understand the difference between the following to user databases;
(you can select these in the Content Part frontend login)

validate login against:
• user profile database
• backend user database

And where can you define them?

Further when you are logged in how can I show the restricted sections?
I really gave my best to understand this in this thread, but without succes.

And how do you define a (article?, content part?) as restricted?

I see I'm not the only one struggling with this so maybe there is someone
who want to give his/her best shot to explain this to me (us).

Many thanks in advance… ; )
