Current behavior:
Wild Apricot pages can be embedded into other websites using our 'widget' functionality. This includes member-only pages.

Desired behavior:
'Login' widget which displays a login box and after login redirects to a particular 'target' page selected by the administrator

Workaround:
Embed this 'target' page instead - it will display a login prompt to users and then redirect to the target page.

Hi there,

I would love to have a small widget which I could put anywhere on my site which simply says "Login" if I'm not logged in and "Logout" if I'm logged in.  I currently use many of your widgets, but can't come up with a way to easily log people out with telling them to go to their member profile, scroll all the way to the bottom then hit the "Logout" button.

Any help?

Thanks,

Ben


 

Ben,

We have not found a way yet to create a logout link using the current version but we will add this to our list for the future.

We'd like to have a small member login/profile update on our home page of our non-WA web site.

While I'm on widgets, why do you have that print button on upper right of wideget boxes? It's awkward and makes no sense for the first screen (log-in). More sense if member want to print the profile data that appears AFTER login. No one wants to print the login!!!

I totally agree...

Re login/profile update - can you elaborate in more detail - what would you ideally like to see?

I agree.  It actually makes using the other widgets difficult too as it makes the page too wide to fit within my webpage without scrolling.

I'd like to see a username and password field in a small frame that I can drop into a menu.  Oddly, many of our members are disoriented without having a visible way to login, even though the way you have it set up is so easy.

I would also like to join in recommending a small member login wiget.

I would appreciate details/example.

HI,

Ideally, it would be nice to have the login be very small so an iFrame version of it could be put right on the webpage instead of having a hyperlink requiring a new webpage to open.  Can you make it look like the one below but change it so it isn't so wide, no print button, no authorization required error message and no extra text.  Just the basics to request e-mail, password, remember me cookie and the login button.  When they click login, they would be redirected to the company WA site.  Can this be done?

This would be an excellent facility, and would improve the ability to integrate Wild Apricot into other sites. If the widget recreated just the login 'box' at the bottom left of the default Wild Apricot Home Page that would be all that is needed.

All best Colin

I wanted to add my voice to the requests for a Logout widget.  As other people have noted, it is awkward to have to go back to the member profile and scroll down to log out.  Even just moving the logout button to the top of the page would be a good intermediate step.

Everyone - thanks for the feedback on this so far.

We are still struggling a bit to figure out what are the specific things people need in this area. We would appreciate any additional specific examples - explain how exactly you want Wild Apricot to function/integrate with your external site - what is the page in question, what should be shown there, what would be shown after user action etc.
