INSTALL.txt for logintoboggan.module for Drupal
|
|
*******************************************************
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
Place entire loggintoboggan module folder into
|
|
(a) your sites/all/modules directory
|
|
(b) your sites/[my site]/modules directory.
|
|
|
|
Enable the module at Administration » Modules
|
|
|
|
Configure logintoboggan settings at
|
|
Administration » Configuration » System » LoginToboggan
|
|
|
|
The module changes the functionality of the login block AND provides a new
|
|
LoginToboggan logged in block'.
|
|
|
|
Configure each block at Administration » Structure » Blocks as follows...
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the 'User login' block for LoginToboggan functionality:
|
|
|
|
Change title if required; using <none> can make for a very neat login system,
|
|
when combined with the javascript functionality: clicking upon "Login/register"
|
|
reveals the login form in sliding fashion. To select this functionality, select
|
|
'Collapsible form' under "Block type". Selecting 'Link' under "Block type"
|
|
sends user to a login form, returning them to original page after successful
|
|
login.
|
|
|
|
2. Configure 'LoginToboggan logged in block'
|
|
|
|
Tip: by leaving the title blank, the 'LoginToboggan logged in block' is slim
|
|
and neat.
|
|
|
|
Done!
|
|
|
|
CAVEATS:
|
|
|
|
1. Use the 'Delete unvalidated users after' feature with extreme caution!
|
|
|
|
This feature can be handy, but if misconfigured can cause unexpected damage
|
|
to your user data -- specifically deleting users! Two things to guard
|
|
against:
|
|
|
|
a. Be very careful when editing the 'Non-authenticated role' setting.
|
|
If you set it to anything other than the 'authenticated user' role,
|
|
LoginToboggan will happily start deleting any users you have in that
|
|
role that were created prior to the purge interval. If you want to
|
|
avoid problems, it's best to never change that setting after you've
|
|
initially set it up.
|
|
|
|
b. LoginToboggan has mechanisms in place that prevent a user from being
|
|
re-added to the Non-authenticated role after a user has been validated.
|
|
Note that these protections are only present in core's interface -- if
|
|
you have another module enabled which does any role manipulation
|
|
(either via the user interface or programatically), you must find your
|
|
own way to ensure that it doesn't add any users back into the
|
|
Non-authenticated role.
|
|
|
|
Also note that the feature is only enabled if the 'Set password' option is
|
|
also enabled.
