Re: Theme my login plugin

My first thought is that you might try isolating the issue.

1.) Is password reset working without s2member and theme-my-login active? (if not, try testing again using the twentyten theme)

2.) Try with only TML running or only s2member running.

3.) Try again with both active.

Your are correct
/login/?action=rp&key=npBpL2cNzUJVQNJXWcABH&login=ebuud

I put this into the template use for login and I get the reset form, but it doesn't re-set the PW.

include('resetpass-form.php'); }else { ?>

What is the work flow for the re-set process? I thought WP usually sends a new password in a second email?

Are you using your home page as your login page?

It seems like /?action=rp&key=npBpLcNzUJVQNJXW1cABH&login=ebuud would more commonly be /login/?action=rp&key=npBpLcNzUJVQNJXW1cABH&login=ebuud if /login/ was the permalink of your login page.

I don't think that's it and I am not using ssl. The link that shows up in the email after reguesting an email re-set looks like this.

/?action=rp&key=npBpLcNzUJVQNJXW1cABH&login=ebuud

and that takes you back to the site with a form that contains 2 fields for re-setting your password....it all seems to work, but the password does not get changed.

Suggestions?

My workaround was to remove the s2member_force_ssl = yes custom post field and instead use .htaccess rules to force the login page to use SSL.

I've run into that situation when ?s2ssl=true is set on the login/lostpassword page. It's because the form tries to POST to the page URL without the ?s2ssl=true suffix, so the redirect drops the POST.

Whoah ... that is powerful stuff. AWESOME. I'm ... just in love with this.

On a personal note ... I've built 5 payment + membership systems in .NET over the past 12 years using various technologies, approaches, etc. for our business, and was one of the first to integrate with Website Payments Pro. But maintaining self-built software took me away from making money creating the "product". I know how much effort goes into creating this, and it's more appreciated than you can imagine.

Re: Theme my login plugin

2011-05-13T17:06:15-05:00

Yes, you can do this if you like.

Option #1
Remove !important declarations.
Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

Code:: add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_login_header_styles_important", "__return_false"); ?>

* This simply prevents s2Member from attaching the !important declarations. It does NOT remove the CSS completely though. This just makes it easier for other plugins to override s2Member's design options that a site owner has configured.

Option #2
Don't use s2Member's CSS at all.
Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

Code:: add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_login_header_styles", "__return_false"); ?>

* This prevents the CSS from being used at all.

Re: Theme my login plugin

In particular, it's stuff like this that's the problem:

body, body * {
font-size: 12px !important;
}

This erases the h2's font size defined in my theme. I tried to delete the setting in the "s2Member General Options --> Login/Registration Design" ... specifically, I attempted to set the "Overall Font Size" to blank, however, you require a value there, so it just gets automatically filled back in with 12px.

And yes, this is an extremely minor issue -- I've gotten much farther using this solution that I could have in this amount of time slinging code myself ... and I can work around this ... I would just put my vote in for not commandeering styles from the admin UI.

Re: Theme my login plugin

2011-05-13T16:04:24-05:00

Ok, finally got into this. Yes, Theme My Login ** MOSTLY ** works. HOWEVER s2Member still attempts to emit a bunch of CSS into your /login/ page (or whatever page you set as the login page in Theme My Login).

I've copied that CSS into a code section at the bottom -- these are the defaults (i.e., I made no changes in the "s2Member General Options --> Login/Registration Design" section).

True, depending on your particular theme you may not notice any changes to the appearance of your Theme My Login's Login page, however in my case I had a dark background that really showed through.

SO ... the question I have for Jason or Cristián: can I shut this behavior off completely? In other words, can I prevent the following code from being emitted in my login (typically the wp-login.php -- before Theme My Login changes it)? That is the crux of the compatibility issue.

Thanks!

P.S. ... here's the code that gets emitted ... in the section, right beneath ...

Re: Theme my login plugin

Wait... I'm switching sides.. I agree with johnleblanc.. Theme My Login is now working perfectly with s2Member Pro on my site.

It was user error.. i had too many different things going on in the attempt to make it work.. various functions in files, shortcodes in pages, and settings in plugins. But when i backed out, started over, and did a more careful, methodical, meticulous implementation, i found it does in fact work.. very very nicely.

Thanks johnleblanc, for inspiring me to give it another shot!!

I'm not clear specifically what the s2m/TML conflict is, but it seems to work for me with the considerations mentioned above (Additionally, I redirect /login/?action=register to my pricing page within functions.php).

Bob - When I initially replied, I didn't realize I was replying to you and not toddz88

You might also look at the following to hand-roll your own login behavior:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Ref ... login_form
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Ref ... _login_url

http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference
(in particular: login_url, login_redirect, login_errors, login_message)

Re: Theme my login plugin

2011-05-11T20:43:05-05:00

Thank you very much for the information. At the moment, I am not using Theme My Login, opting to implement a shortcode that puts the s2Member Pro Login Widget into the "loop".

So ... in my shortcodes.php ...

Code:: function bob_login_shortcode() { $options = array("signup_url" => "%%automatic%%", "login_redirect" => "%%home%%", "my_account_url" => "/account/", "my_profile_url" => "", "logout_redirect" => "/"); return do_shortcode(s2member_pro_login_widget($options)); } add_shortcode('s2login', 'bob_login_shortcode');

... produces the screenshot below ...

HOWEVER ... I keep running into the "user experience" issue as described above (i.e., forgot password, etc.) ... and I realize I may just have to bite the bullet and find a better solution. My question to you was more of a "pre-emptive strike" to figure out how much effort would be involved in using Theme My Login.

Re: Theme my login plugin

2011-05-11T20:12:22-05:00

Note: the permalink to my login page is "/login" so I'm using strpos() to test that. This would also match a permalink like "/login-at-the-beginning-of-another-page" so you might use a better conditional here with a preg_match() or similar. Be aware that the query string is often pertinent, like /login/?action=logout&_wpnonce=bh90210bs or /login/?action=lostpassword

Code:: // redirect login to ssl add_action('init', 'my_secure_login'); function my_secure_login() { if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'login') == 1 && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on' ) { $redirect = sprintf('%s%s', 'https://www.foo.com', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ); wp_redirect( $redirect, 301 ); exit; } }

Again, I'm curious what behavior you're experiencing?

Re: Theme my login plugin

Yes, I'm indeed using PRO and I'm happy to compare notes. I needed to NOT use the s2member_force_ssl = yes custom field on my login page and instead use a wp_redirect() hooked into 'init' to force SSL (I initially attempted SSL enforcement within .htaccess, but had a tough time).

My login page looks like this:

Code:: [s2If !is_user_logged_in()] [theme-my-login] [/s2If]

What's not working for you?

Hmm. I am using s2member PRO, and it seems to override anything that Theme My Login is trying to do. Are you using s2m PRO? If you are, and you somehow have TML working too, i'd love to dig deeper and find out exactly how you have them both configured.

Also, Jason (lead dev on s2m) confirms the conflict:

Re: Theme my login plugin

Please consider this another "vote" for better handling of wp-login.php / Pro Login Widget / failed login and forgot password.

The s2member pro Login Pro Widget is a GREAT user experience -- for a successful login. But unfortunately, a user can also get Failed Login, or do a Forgot Password, both of which DESTROY the otherwise seamless experience offered by s2member pro and the Pro Login Widget.

And the fields/options currently available on s2m > General Options > Login/Registration Design are better than nothing, but really not nearly robust enough to maintain the user experience.

The reason that the Pro Login Widget is so good -- so the user can login on a page clearly "in" the website, and fully integrated with the site's theme/design -- is the exact reason why the failed-login and forgot-password routines must also be integrated with a site's theme.

I need some help with my wordpress plugins on my blog. Right now, wordpress emails an auto generated password. I have theme my login and register plus on my blog. How can I change one of them so that users make their own passwords.

Also I want to make an easy access text box for users to post their own topics much like a forum. Is there a plugin for that?
