Started by svarrer.dk (v. 0.1-1.7), maintained by ge-webdesign.de (v. 2.0-2.3), and starting with version 3 further developed by Svasti (3.1 with some hints from cmb to improve security, and 3.2 with code from cmb to show who is logged in.).
Memberpages can store user name, password, access level, email address, full name and membership expiration date. After login members can change their password, email address and full name.
A log file of all login actions is kept.
Usernames, passwords and full name accept accented letters, non-european scripts and special signs (like apostrophe), but no " nor \.
Main changes compared to version 2.3:
Install the new version on top of your old version. Go the plugin backend and click "activate plugin". Old members' list and log file can be imported. However, settings for going to special pages on log out, error etc. have to be entered again. Changed entries in the stylesheet will also be lost.
Check where and under what name your members list is stored. Install new version on top of old version and activate plugin. Go to file details via the link below the config settings. Select the correct file type for your members file (csv or php) and enter address and name of your old members file, starting from the cmsimple base.
Save and go to members list to check, if the list has been found by the plugin.
You may want to remove all memberpage-CMSimple-scripting from your text and set memberpages instead via pagedata tabs. Uncheck "use #CMSimple member()" in plugin config.
Unzip the zip file and upload the folder "memberpages" into the plugin folder of your CMSimple installation. Then add a login form either to your template or to some page of your site.
Open the template file and put this php code where the login form should be located:
<?php echo memberslogin();?>
Add this code to your page:
#CMSimple $output.=memberslogin();#
or this: {{{PLUGIN:memberslogin();}}}
If you have the login form on a normal page, you should add a logged-in-notice to your template so that members see that they are logged in. Otherwise there is no way to know if one is logged in or not. The logged in notice is only visible if you are logged in.
To add the logged-in-notice to your template open the template file and add the following php code where the logged-in-notice should be located:
<?php echo membersnotice();?>
… memberslogin();
… will produce a login area like this:
After login members will see a changed login area like this:
If you don't use Memberpages to hide pages, uncheck both methods to hide pages.
If you use Forum_XH 1beta1 and want to display the full name of users, change line 170 in plugins/forum/index.php from
return isset($_SESSION['Name']) ? $_SESSION['Name'] : (
to
return isset($_SESSION['fullname']) ? $_SESSION['fullname'] : (
Set method to make memberpages in config. Uncheck unused method for better speed of your site.
Set pages as memberpages via the pagedata tab "M" above the editor menu. There you can also set the access level, except when your access mode is "members see all memberpages". The data you enter will be stored in the pagadata.php. Unchecking the pagedata tab method in plugin config will clean the pagadata.php of all memberpage entries.
#CMSimple member();#
in the textPut the code #CMSimple member();#
or {{{PLUGIN:member();}}}
anywhere in a page that you want to convert to a memberpage.
To add an accesslevel put the number of the level between the parentheses, e.g.
#CMSimple member(3);#
or {{{PLUGIN:member(3);}}}
for level 3.
Memberpages without access-level (= level 0) are visible to all members. Concerning pages with access level you can choose between the following modes:
The line "Password forgotten" can be displayed under the Login button. A click will ask for the members user name. IF the user name and an email address is found in the members list, the forgotten password will be send to that email address.
For sending an email the plugin needs a sender's address, which
has to be entered in plugin config under Site e-mail address
. Without sender's address
"Password forgotten?" will not be displayed.
An admin email address must also be entered in plugin config to inform the admin of password requests, where no email address or username is found in the members' list.
From Version 3.5 on the members' list is saved by default in userfiles/plugins/memberpages/, however
a different folder can be chosen in plugin config. The entry in the config starts from the CMSimple_XH base.
You can even, for high protection, choose a folder which is below the CMSimple_XH base,
e.g. ../my_folder
.
When you change the folder of the members' list, a new members' list and new log file will be generated. To get your old lists back, copy them via ftp to the new location.
