Every application needs to manage users. The Registration package contains everything to let users register, login and retrieve forgot passwords.

The Registration package adds 3 Add-on scripts to the PageBuilder. You will find those add-on script in the Registration tab of the Add-on list.

To setup a registration process you will need to create a number of pages. In order:

1. Registration thank you page
2. Forgot password page
3. Users page once successfully sign-on
4. Registration form page
5. Login form page

Some of those pages just contain text other will need Add-On.

Display in the page a form to add a new users. Optionally it offer the option to send a welcome email. You will find the content of the welcome email in the email template table, the template is called regthank.

This add-on display in the page a login form with 2 links to the registration page and forgot password page.

In the add-on property you can define all the different pages the users can go to.

 
  - Page after successfully signing on
  - The page that contains the forgot password Add-On
  - The page that contains the Registration form Add-on.

This contains a simple text field for the users to enter their email address to which their password will be sent to.

Their is one script that note in the Add-on to put in the pages, but to include before the HTML of the page is output.

That include script is called:

 includes/onlyloginusers.script.inc.php

When you include that script in a page it will block the access to that page. Only registered and sign-in users will have access to the page.

The package install sample PHP pages ready to be used. Those sample pages illustrate a typical usage of the Registration package and provide a fast start.

  login_sample.hide.php
  registration_form_sample.hide.php
  registration_thank_you_sample.hide.php
  registered_user_page.hide.php
  forgot_password_sample.hide.php

You can edit those pages with PageBuilder

This page is the password protected page. You can access it only when you are a registered user sign-on.

The protection is done by an include script.

 includes/onlyloginusers.script.inc.php

You can modify this using the include manager.

You can make any page protected by including that script.
