The log in template
Below is an example shopping cart template:

<source lang="php">
// kick if logged in // recommended to place in 'pre process' code of template - no reason to waste processing power if we just gonna kick to home.
eV::authorizeIsLoggedOut('index.php?message=You cannot create an account while logged in');

// here is the global message
if(!empty($message)) echo "<p>" . $message . "</p>";

// the form
// note that the form CAN exist in the page copy of page management, it does not need to be hard encoded into the template
// most integrators will just create the above kick/message code and call it a "cannot be logged in" template, then use this template to control all pages that should only be seen if the visitor is not logged into a user account
echo "
<form name=\"loginForm\" target=\"index.php\" method=\"post\">
";
// email address, password and the hidden fa field are the only required fields for this form
// the fa field tells the system what to do when this form is submitted, in this case USER.login means attempt to login with the passed information
<br>Email Adddress:<input type=\"text\" size=30 maxlength=100 name=\"emailAddress\">
<br>Password:<input type=\"password\" size=20 maxlength=50 name=\"password\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"fa\" value=\"USER.login\">
";

// the redirect field is optional. If used, this field tells the system where to send the user once the successfully login. We suggest the "you account" page.
// this field can also be dynamic, so visitors who log in during the checkout process are brought back into the checkout process, etc.
// if this field is not passed, the "default login success location" as set in Settings:Users, will be the destination page upon successful login
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect\" value=\"index.php?pageId=555&message=You have logged in!\">";

// the redirectOnFailure field is optional. If used, this field tells the system where to send the user once the fail to login. We suggest sending them right back to this login page with a failure message. You may also develop a second login form page with a different title, subtitle, and copy and forward visitors to that page upon failure.
// if this field is not passed, the "default login failure location" as set in Settings:Users, will be the destination page upon failed login
// note that we are using the dynamic $pageId attribute here, therefore this part of the form must exist in the template copy and cannot exist in the page management copy. 
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirectOnFailure\" value=\"index.php?pageId=$pageId&message=Invalid login, please try again.\">";

// submit button
echo "<input type=\"submit\" value\"LOGIN!\">";
echo "
</form>
";
