7.4 Extranet Modes
7.4.1 Register and Edit User
The registration and editing of user details are almost an identical <form>. Therefore we can reuse most of the code in both cases. It is likely that you will want to create a form with several inputs.
All script within the following conditition will be displayed when in Register and Edit User modes:
<?php
if ( 'register' == $mode || 'edituser' == $mode ) { ?>
To notify the user whether or not they are in Register or Edit User mode, you should use a snippet that lives within the true status of the above condition:
<?php if ($mode=="register") {
echo “<h1>You are Editing Details</h1>” ;
} else {
echo “<h1>You are Registering</h1>”;
}
?>
You can also use an if statement to include form fields or not - for example, you may not want existing users to be able to modify a username, but of course you will want new users to choose one.
The form itself uses the following value:
<form method="POST" action="?cID=<?php echo $cID;?>&cType=extranet&mode=<?php echo $mode;?>" errorList="inputerrorlist" onSubmit="return validateForm(this);">
You then use an <input> for each of your fields. See Appendix: xHTML Documentation, Inputs.
Tribiq CMS supports both client-side and server-side validation - the “cssErrorClass” is for on-the-fly validation, whereas the last conditional PHP clause provides server side validation. We provide both methods incase a site visitor does not have JavaScript enabled.
7.4.2 Login / Default Extranet Homepage
To decide whether to display the Login or Welcome Page (post login) you should check whether or not the site visitor has been assigned an Extranet Session - if not, show the login form, or any error messages are shown if there has been a failed login attempt.
If the User has successfully logged in, you should show the default Extranet Homepage.
