Front-end user plugin

This plugin adds front-end user management features to OctoberCMS.

Session component

The session component should be added to a layout that has registered users. It has no default markup.

User variable

You can check the logged in user by accessing the {{ user }} Twig variable:

{% if user %}
    <p>Hello {{ user.name }}</p>
{% else %}
    <p>Nobody is logged in</p>
{% endif %}

Signing out

The Session component allows a user to sign out of their session.

<a data-request="onLogout" data-request-data="redirect: '/good-bye'">Sign out</a>

Page restriction

The Session component allows the restriction of a page or layout by allowing only signed in users, only guests or no restriction. This example shows how to restrict a page to users only:

title = "Restricted page"
url = "/users-only"

[session]
security = "user"
redirect = "home"

The security property can be user, guest or all. The redirect property refers to a page name to redirect to when access is restricted.

Account component

The account component provides a user sign in form, registration form, activation form and update form. To display the form:

title = "Account"
url = "/account/:code?"

[account]
redirect = "home"
paramCode = "code"
==
{% component 'account' %}

If the user is logged out, this will display a sign in and registration form. Otherwise, it will display an update form. The redirect property is the page name to redirect to after the submit process is complete. The paramCode is the URL routing code used for activating the user, only used if the feature is enabled.

Reset Password component

The reset password component allows a user to reset their password if they have forgotten it.

title = "Forgotten your password?"
url = "/forgot-password/:code?"

[resetPass]
paramCode = "code"
==
{% component 'resetPassword' %}

This will display the initial restoration request form and also the password reset form used after the verification email has been received by the user. The paramCode is the URL routing code used for resetting the password.
