Login

[pinkequine]

Hi

I have created a layout in the store section to allow member login. I copied the layout below, which is a copy of the Standard Login Layout.

It does work, the customer can log in from the store section, however once the user is logged in, it blanks out all their login input and returns to the same page. The customer therefore thinks the login has not worked and keeps re-entering the info.

Can you tell me what I need to add in and where, so that - if successful - the user is bounced to the homepage https://www.mysite.com.

Your help would be much appreciated.

<form method="post" name="MainLoginForm" action="<actinic:variable name="OnlineScriptURL" value="Login Script URL" />">
<input type="hidden" name="RANDOM" value="<actinic:variable name='Random'/>">
<input type="hidden" name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" />" />

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsHostMode%22%20%2f%3e">
<!-- Hidden field when in trial mode -->
<input type="hidden" name="SHOP" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="HiddenFields"/>">
</actinic:block>

<actinic:variable name="CheckoutArea" value="Scripts for Password Encryption" />

<actinic:variable value="Standard Login Layout" name="LoginLayout" />

</form>

I have been searching all day trying to find where I can put a link to a page following succesful login. I have checked the layouts and I cannot find anything. All login layouts are as per factory settings. I have read the knowledge base and also searched all the threads here.

If there is a layout that has this link in, I would really appreciate the name of the layout I need to look at.

Thanks in advance

I'm a little confused what you're trying to do. Why not just use the normal login page that actinic already creates for you as standard?

www.mysite.com/acatalog/login.html is the page actinic creates on every site as standard. Once you log in, this takes you to the store index/shop top.

Hi

I am using that login, but I think I must have done something... unforutnately fiddled because when the user has logged in, instead of going to the homepage its going back to the same login page and not re-directing.

I am trying to find out what I have done - unsuccessfully at the moment - that has messed things up. I checked my main site and the login works fine on that, redirects etc.

So I am thinking I must have removed the bit of code that tells the login to re-direct, but I have checked the layouts and reverted to factory settings and I would have thought this should have corrected my mistake, but it hasn't.

The site is www.equine-group.co.uk - there are two logins both using the same code, both having the same problem

if you login using user: admin@pinkequine.com pass: denise you will see the problem

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I will check that, I have tested it on IE and also Slimbrowser and its ok, but have not tested Firefox. Have you a note of what it says is wrong with the Cert and I will investigate.

Could that be the reason for the problem?

Hi

I checked with my hosting company and they say the SSL is ok, its only that Firefox advises that it is self signed... so i don't think that will be the problem, thanks anyway for letting me know.

Kind Regards

if i view the site in IE6 using https the cert says

"This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store."

i can't see from the cert detail who has issued it, its not one of the big ones ie comodo, thwaite, geotrust etc.

I just purchased a Thawte SSL, this is the exact same Cert on my other site that is working correctly with login, so if that doesn't work then it must be something else.

Will post back soon.

No Luck

Hi,

The SSL Certificate is now Thawte, but it has not resolved the problem.

When you login the page still does not automatically divert to the homepage on success.

Does anyone know where the bit of programming is held that tells the website to divert to the homepage, so I can see why its not working.

Pretty please ...

maybe your site for some reason is seeing the Login page as the main catalog page, and has got a bit messed up (sorry about the grammer!! lol)

anyway, check all the settings like this in the business/site options, and the options for the individual pages

Cheers

Hi

Just an update on this problem in case anyone has something similar, I have had to raise a support request with Actinic because I have been unable to find a solution.

I will update this thread with a comprehensive answer when I have it, just in case anyone else has the same problem in the future.

Thanks

Denise

Update

Well, I managed to resolve the problem myself. I enabled the products, (none of them were enabled for purchase online) and it works.

I still don't know what the exact thing I did to fix it was, because I was generallly tidying up things, but the result is it is fixed.
