About InsiteLogin
From the official readme · v0.7Description
This plugin insert the standard login procedure (login, logout, registration, password recovery) in a selected page of the site. This is made whith a few tricks:
wp-login.phpis fully processed, and his output parsed replacing all links towp-login.phpwith links to current page- an “init” hook redirect to login page when
wp-login.phpis invoked - a “login_redirect” filter send to login page on login and logout
Login page can (and have to) be customized for logged in status: this is made through configuration subpanel under the Settings menu.
From 0.6 version, the page for logged-in users contain a sidebar called “insitelogin_sidebar”, placed after the text inserted into InsiteLogin options. Note that the generated sidebar will be parsed replacing any “%%logout%%” istance, so you can leave blank the option and use only the sidebar with a Text widget.
Pay attention: the content of the page selected to run the plugin is completely ignored!
ToDo
- wysiwyg in configuration
- maybe retrieve standard CSS for login box?
- customize the layout for insitelogin_sidebar
- shortcode for registration / login / retrieve pw
If you wish any other pretty feature, you’ve to ask me!
