How to display Login Form

Hi,

I am brand new to S2 and have a very newbie question.

I have a site with 3 levels of access. All levels are free. I have gone ahead and set up levels 0 – 2 and protected the various pages. However, when I go to a protected page the login screen does not display. What i do see is the blank page I created as my “Member” page. How would I go about just having the login screen displaying when a user tried to access a protected area?

Thank you very much,
Michael

Hi, did you ever get this sorted Michael, as I have the same problem.

thanks

s2member seems to always redirect users to the page you have set as your “membership options” page. However, if you go to “API / Scripting > Membership Options Page / Variables in” s2member, you will read that you can make use of something called MOP(Membership Option Page) variables, which in short, you can use to tell s2member what the user was trying to access when they were redirected to the membership options page. Based on those variables, you can will need to use PHP conditional tags to include the s2member login form(pro version only). This will require PHP skills though…

I haven’t used the variables yet, but if you try to access your content without being logged in, take a look at your address bar and notice how there are a lot of extra parameters there. That’s s2member giving you info about what you tried to access. If I said anything wrong, someone pleas correct me. I am a newb too :)

You can have a login form in the Membership Options page using the s2Member Pro Login Widget via PHP. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Pro Login Widget (via PHP)[/hilite] ;)
