Page Template Managers

The registration template is very basic. It requires a login form and links to the forgotten password and create account pages. It is recommended a check is done to see if the user is logged in and forward them to the next step in the checkout if they are.

After creating the template, setup a page for it. Place the pageId of this new page in Settings > eCommerce tab: "Registration Page Id"

Sample content is below:


// check if user is logged in
// using the core variable isLoggedIn
// and the redirect function
// sending to the shipping checkout page
// sometiems clients want billing address before shipping, simply change to ORDER.checkoutBilling if that is the case
if($isLoggedIn) eV::redirect($iProducts['securedSiteUrl'] . 'index.php?fa=ORDER.checkoutShipping');
 
// display message (this will contain login errors, etc, if the forms point failures back to this page)
if(!empty($message)) echo "<p><font color=\"red\">$message</font></p>";
 
// output form and links
// sometiems clients want billing address before shipping, simply change to ORDER.checkoutBilling if that is the case
// note the $securedSiteURL attribute in the anchor tag - this will retrieve the value in settings for the Secure Site URL
echo "
<a href=\"" . $iProducts['securedSiteUrl']. "/index.php?fa=ORDER.checkoutShipping\">Checkout Without Logging In</a>
 
<hr>
 
Log In:
// note the $securedSiteURL attribute in the form action - this will retrieve the value in settings for the Secure Site URL
<form action=\"" . $iProducts['securedSiteUrl']. "/index.php\" method=\"post\" name=\"registeredLoginForm\">
 
<br>Email Address:
<input name=\"emailAddress\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" />
 
<br>Password:
<input name=\"password\" size=\"20\" type=\"password\" />
 
<!-- enter page id for forget your password page -->
<br><a href=\"index.php?pageId=1223\">Forgot your password</a>
 
<br><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Log In\">
 
<!-- required hidden fields for login to work -->
<input name=\"fa\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"USER.login\" /> 
 
<!-- redirect tells it where to go after a successful login -->
<!-- sometiems clients want billing address before shipping, simply change to ORDER.checkoutBilling if that is the case -->
<input name=\"redirect\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"" . $iProducts['securedSiteUrl']. "/index.php?fa=ORDER.checkoutShipping&message=You have successfully logged in\" /> 
 
<!-- redirectOnFailure tells the system where to go if login fails -->
<input name=\"redirectOnFailure\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"" . $iProducts['securedSiteUrl']. "/index.php?fa=ORDER.register&message=Login Failure\" />
 
</form>
