Logon Box

[darbyshire]

Might be a simple but might be not.

 

Is there anyway of getting a log-on box on our schools joomla webpage when when a user types in username and password it will send that request to the kaleidos webpage and log them in?

 

Thanks

Peter

Should be.... (could be a easier way but this is how I sorted a login space on my site.)

 

using a extention that allows direct additions of html (without the pesky wysiwyg editor changing it) or putting it into your template index.php file.

 

The way go to the kaleidos login page, and look at the source copy everything to do with forms out of it (the form tags & input tags), and then start chopping bits off until it works (could only need U/N, P/W... in cpanels case)

 

It could be as simple as

</pre><form action="https://%5Bb%5Dportal%5B/b%5D/CookieAuth.dll?Logon" method="post" id="logonForm" autocomplete="no">
u/n:
p/w:
 
</for

Once its working we can look at making it pretty and putting it in Joomla

That works perefectly and got the way i want it. Just need to find out how to put it on the Module on the front page haha.

 

Thanks

Use the plugin "Jincludes" and after install go to the plugin manager and click Jincludes (to configure it)

 

Under "#1 Key" put "klalogin"

under "#1 code" put

</pre><form action="https://www.klp.rm.com/CookieAuth.dll?Logon" method="post" id="logonForm" autocomplete="no">

or the code you want!

 

After that enable the plugin and go to your module manager and create a new module with the "Custom HTML"

 

then type "{{klalogin}}" in the edit html source editor.

 

Position how you want and it should all work....

Hi I was trying to use this code but it doen't seem to be working for me,has anything change with joomla or RM's KLP login since it was written ?

The problem may lie with FCK Editor in Joomla. I created a Moodle login on our front page, but first had to disable the editor. Login to the admin side of your website and go to Site>Global Configuration, and in Site Settings where it says Default WYSIWYG Editor, select Editor-No Editor. Once you have input your code and saved the changes you can then undo the changes you made to editor selection. HTH.

Great that worked, has anybody done a similar html code for RM easymail ?
