In the add-on property you can define all the different pages the users can go to.
- Page after successfully signing on - The page that contains the forgot password Add-On - The page that contains the Registration form Add-on.
This contains a simple text field for the users to enter their email address to which their password will be sent to.
Their is one script that note in the Add-on to put in the pages, but to include before the HTML of the page is output.
That include script is called:
includes/onlyloginusers.script.inc.php
When you include that script in a page it will block the access to that page. Only registered and sign-in users will have access to the page.
The package install sample PHP pages ready to be used. Those sample pages illustrate a typical usage of the Registration package and provide a fast start.
