  1. Hello, I am looking at which template to add the code "" as I need to have the user login before adding images. I am using another plugin to control the public upload action. Could you please provide me with more information? Thanks Lynette
    • Hi, Lynette I am not completely sure what you are planning to achieve. Maybe the best way is to put the template tag into the header.php file. Please take a look at the login link at the very top of this page. Is that what you want to have? You would need to place the template tag flexible-frontend-login-modal(); in your header file. Let me know if this is answering your question.
      • Apologies - I did not see this reply before I went off to upgrade and test. I added the information to the header as you suggested but I still do not see the 'popup' information in the source code. Let me take a look at your example and I come back if I cannot get it to work.
      • I managed to get something working, however, the input fields are protected. I compared the code and they appear to be the same on your site and http://fotographicimages.co.uk/photogalleries/competitions/ page. Any suggestions would be welcome.
        • Hi Lynette, the site looks great. It seems like you changed the html code for the output of flexible frontend login. Please post it here so that I can take a look at it and I will try to reproduce the error. By the way there is a typo on the options page (to be fixed soon): please use %lost_password% instead of %lostpassword%.
          • Thanks. I fixed the password issue (a typo on the instructions). I have an external message description that looks like this: And the code in the plugin looks like this: You must register with or Click To Login to the website in order to upload images if (!is_user_logged_in() && get_option('npu_user_role_select') != 99) { $strOutput .= ""; if(get_option('npu_notlogged')) { $strOutput .= get_option('npu_notlogged'); flexible_frontend_login_modal(); } else { $strOutput .= "You must be registered and logged in to upload images."; flexible_frontend_login_modal(); }
          • It seems we did not get the whole code transmitted...? Your function call seems to be ok but I asked you to post the html code that you put into the FFL options page. The bug seems to sit there somehow.
        • OK, I found the solution! You need to play with the z-indexes in the css files. So copy the /css/ffl-style.css to a subfolder /flexible-frontend-login/ in your theme directory and make the following changes: #ffl-mask { ... z-index:100; ... } #ffl-boxes .ffl-window { ... z-index:200; } Your login input fields will be magically available :-)
  2. Also, looking at the setting on the plugin there appears to be no information saved when I update it. The "example screens" that should show what the user is seeing is exactly what I am seeing. A blank box with nothing inside. The "Klick on this link to test your settings." also does not appear to have any way that one can click on it.
  3. I am removing the greater and less-than signs so it does not get transformed: table tbody tr td %label_for_username /td td %input_username% /td /tr tr td %label_for_password% /td td %input_password% /td /tr tr td colspan="2" %send_button% /td /tr tr td colspan="2" %lost_password% /td /tr /tbody /table
    • Well, it is intended to be easy to use. But it is my first plugin and you really help me making it better with your feedback. I will try to find solutions which make it more intuitive. Any suggestion is welcome.
  7. Thanks for this great plugin - just what I was looking for. I have one issue - it doesn't work multilingually, in conjunction with language switching plugins such as qTranslate. It works fine in any one language (based on the WPLANG setting in wp-config.php). I wish I could advise on how to get this to work multilingually - the qTranslate forum might help.
    • Hi Wyn, thank you. The plugin is prepared for localization. English and German are included. What language do you miss? You might want to provide translations. If so just contact me again.
      • Thanks for the quick response Henning. Your plugin works fine monolingually. I've made a partial translation (Welsh) which works fine if I set WPLANG to cy_GB. However, I want to use your plugin in a bilingual website, with switching between English and Welsh using the qTranslate plugin. Some plugins cope well in a multilingual environment and others less so, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about php to advise what needs to be done to get things to work multilingually. The qTranslate forum has useful tips that may mean more to you than me.
        • It should not be a problem because the plugin is completely prepared for localization. Do you know the open source program poedit? You can use it to create translations from the *.pot file in the translations folder. If so I will send you a private message in order to add your translations to the plugin.
        • OK, after checking it myself on a site with QTranslate I see what you mean. But it is weird: I tried every single tip on making it work with Qtranslate and still it does not. So I openend a new thread on their support forum to get a hint. As soon as I found the solution I will post it here.
  8. This plugin works great. Except when I logout...I get this error. ============================ Not Found The requested URL /wordpress/wordpress/ was not found on this server. ============================ Seems like it's duplicating the wordpress path. Is it possible I'm only running into this problem because I'mdoing all this local? http://localhost/wordpress Seems highly unlikely but I thought I would ask.
  9. I'm testing it now. I deactivated it to fix some other things. Now I'm back on it. My useage is this: My membership site takes over the registration page and has their own. After registration it takes them to a page on my site called Welcome. They were not automatically logged in, and I can see some instances why not. But I want them to be logged in when they register. Because I do not wish to fix this issue every time they upgrade the membership plugin, I'll wait for them to fix it. Until then, I need your plugin to either place a login widget in the sidebar of that page, or have it pop up modal when that page is brought up, which is my preference. So, they register and then the screen darkens and they get the login to reveal the welcome page. The rest I have handled. So I'm off to test. When I placed the php tag begin and end around your code, it didn't place the login link. Also, I noticed with your latest update today, the plugin out of the box shows a whacky test of the login box, showing code etc. You might have a look at that.
    • To bring up the modal form on load is a very special task and we would have to determine on which page this should happen. I cannot promise to add this kind of function but I will think about it and see if there is a solution which does not make the usage too complicated. I will check the other bugs you mentioned and keep you posted here.
  10. And, good job on your first plugin! It has great potential. You might explain, like to a 3rd grader, how to place that link on the web page. and where to place that code, unless the plugin is going to do that automatically. I've tried all the placement settings and tried placing code in my theme's settings under header, to no avail.
  12. Thanks for this great plugin! It's much appreciated and almost exactly what I'm looking for. Rather than displaying a link on which a visitor has to click in order to get the login popup, I'd love to just display the login popup automatically when the webpage is loaded. Is that possible? Thanks in advance for your answer!
    • Hi Sabrina, thank you for your feedback. I put your suggestion on the todo list for further development and will add an option to choose immediate popup on page load. But did you think of unobtrusive website design? Your visitors might find it somewhat embarrassing if they want to just look at your site and the popup gets in between...?!
      • Hi, On my page the plugin seems to do just that, i.e. pop up immediately. I don't actually like that. I'm using the sidebar widget. Any thoughts? Heiki
  13. Hello, I upgraded with the latest version but I am unable to see the options where you can change the custom messages. I am currently working locally. Suggestions please? Lynette
  14. Hi Henning, Thankyou. I found what I was looking for. Integration with another plugin caused issues but they now appear to be resolved. Lynette
  15. Hello Henning, I am trying to get the Login 'box' to display and following your previous instructions I am finding a mismatch. Your instructions mentioned the following: #ffl-boxes .ffl-window { … z-index:200; } However, this no longer exists in the .css file. Thanks for your assistance Lynette
  16. I'm very sorry... pheraps it must be clear, but how to set control popups in template use? $vertical to "bottom" or "top" - -- is it mean I should write $vertical="top" or what?
  18. I am wondering, if I want to add a "Welcome" before the username, and also just shorten the username to a first name - where would I put this code? I've been digging through the files and am stumped. Any help is much appreciated as I really like this plugin and want to continue using it. Thanks!
  19. I want to show remember me / remember my password option in login box like default wordpress login. How to do it ?
  20. Hi, I have installed your plugin as it was exactly what I was looking for (thanks a lot for your work, it really helps me). I am having version 0.97.5 but I have a 404 error when clicking on "lost pw". Can you help? Thanks in advance, Silv
  21. Hello, I try to integrate your plug in with shortcode. When i try to enter my login & password i am redirecting automatically on my admin login page but it don't log. i tested many login plug-in, and have the same result each time. Do you have an idea why it don't log ? Best regards (Sorry for poor english...)
  22. Hi Henning, I am an absolute beginner in WordPress (Website).. The plugin is great !!!!! Just a little question: How can I put the plugin directly as a link in a menu .. So not only via the detour of creat a page first? Thanks for your help
  23. Hi, I had the plugin working great but at some point a conflict came up. The login box is open all the time and if I close it without logging in. it won't open again unless I refresh the page. Any help much appreciated. Great plugin. Thanks
  24. Henning, The plugin works great, but one question: If a user logs in incorrectly (for example, puts in the wrong password), it defaults to the wordpress login screen - is this supposed to happen? Is there a way to keep the user on the same login page/area? Thanks,
    • This would seriously require more skills than I have. Any help to make this possible is appreciated but I cannot do it on my own since I am a lay coder and do not always have the time to learn the things I'd like to learn ;-(
    • You might need to exclude the plugin's javascript from the minify routine of W3 Total Cache. I previously had many difficulties with that plugin and cannot give you another shorthand solution. Maybe one day I understand what W3TC does... :-)
  26. Hello, in your help documentation there is : = How to use the Flexible Frontend Login template tag on your site = In template files place: To control popups behavior set $vertical to "bottom" or "top" $horizontal to "left" or "right" For popup with overlay use: could you tell me in which file I have to put this code ? header ? it doesn't work ... Thank you for your answer. Fab
    • Yes Fab, usually the header.php would be the right place to put it. I am sorry I cannot provide you coding for your theme but I can copy the code from the theme used on this site (Wordpress Default Theme Twenty Twelve) - so here it is...
  27. Hi, Is it possible to make the "Click to login" link appear as a part of the custom menu? For example via class call or something similar?
  28. Modal dialog option - the modal overlay appears to be displayed over the top of the dialog - the dialog input boxes are not usable - this is WP 3.5 - also the options page, which I assume is supposed to be tabbed (with vertical tabs) is one big long page and breaks the normal Admin area left side menus totally - any help is appreciated
  30. With wrong credentials I get redirected to wp-login.php That is not nice. Form should handle wrong credentials without redirecting to wp-login.php Otherwise it makes no sense. Also form could have option to stay on current page (is the user is leaving a comment for example) or redirect to dashboard. Overall nice plugin.
  31. Hello Henning, I am using the Frontend Login to allow users to take a test on my site. I am able to login and take the test. I might be missing a step but when I try to click to log out, a box appears with "You are attempting to log out of career counseling. Do you really want to log out?" The "yes" or "back" click selections are missing. How can I fix that?
  33. hi this plugin is awsome, but i want to go further and enter it in "yellow label" on my theme here is my site :trendklub / dot / com i have option to put text there and i insert php code,but not working..also i add code into header and foother but nothing..in widget area doesnt work too...only works on page pls can you reply me on my mail
    • It looks like you activated the plugin but did not add the code appropriately. Find the following line in your theme's header.php: < header id="header" class="pagewidth"> and add the following on the next line: This should do the magic. Good luck and let me know if it worked... PS: Don't forget to take out the whitespace from "< ?"
  34. Hi, I translated your plugin in french. Maybe this could interest other people. Here is a link to the .mo, .po files. I saw some missing call to the translations, so I add them to your plugin. See the ffl.txt for changes locations and others files for the changes. Thank for this plugin it was really useful. Denis
  35. Hi, thanks for this nice plugin! It works fine, but saving settings doesn't work at my (new installed, not edited) version... You wrote that this issue should be removed already, but I have this problem with the actual version 0.97.5 and would be happy if you could give me a clue :) I'd like to change "Click to Login" to "Anmelden"... thanks, zan
  36. Hi! I love this plugin and want to keep using it but am having a problem. In some browsers, when users try to log in, they see pop-up messages and then can't enter their info. For example, in Chrome, they get this message when they type in their username: "Please match the requested format" In Internet Explorer (newest version), it says: "You must use this format:" Both messages stop the visitor from being able to log in to the site. :( Is there any way to work around this? I have no problems in Firefox or IE 9.0.8112. I'm not opposed to going in and trying to change code, just tell me which file and where in the file the change should be made, if you know, of course. :) Thanks! Lynn
  38. This is a great plugin, which I'd like to use on a number of websites. There is one small drawback at the moment. I use the plugin in conjunction with the qTranslate plugin for multilingual websites. Unfortunately, on the backend the Post or Page Title is adversely affected by your plugin. There is a separate title field for each language used with the website. But once this the post/page is saved the qTranslate filtering of the Title fields are interfered with. e.g. <!--:cy-->Ryseitiau<!--:--><!--:en-->Recipes<!--:--> Appears in the Title field, instead of "Ryseitiau" in the Cymraeg Title field, and "Recipes" in the English Title field. The unfiltered value would be: RyseitiauRecipes. The main text of the pages and posts is unaffected by your plugin. Any chance of a fix for this conflict?

  40. Oh dear. Code doesn't work as I expected. If you e-mail me I can explain if the problem is unclear.
  41. Hi, I use your plugin. But their are some features that I missed. Si I add them. Here they are : Add Ajax Use beautiful CSS3, with alternative for old browsers HTML5 validate Add a register form, when activated in general settings Add option for choosing modal in widget Can now change the position of modal popup Add option for redirection on log in or out ... Maybe we could merge our code. Link to the code is here. See some pictures: Ajax Look for today :) Lost password in dutch To see CSS3 in action you need to try it on a modern browser. Boulli
  42. Hi Henning, Love the plugin, would really like to see a bit more info like the gravatar as with the Sidebar Login plugin when logged in. Created a Dutch translation for the plugin. Would like to submit it to you so you can add it to the package. Where would you like me to send it to? Regards, Robin
  43. Hi Henning. Thanks for the response. I'm guessing that the problem lies with includes/markdown.php. I've had a look through the code and nothing obvious stands out - although the function encodeAmpsAndAngles($text) did attract my attention. The problem lies in the lesser and greater than symbols being replaced with the character entity references equivalents before qTranslate parses the post/page titles. What purpose does markdown.php serve, and is it possible to disable some or all of it, at least to determine if this is the cause of the problems with qTranslate?
    • I added the markdown class to parse the readme file in the backend in order to maintain one file with instructions for users. But it seems to be too complicated and might be abandoned in the next release. Once again I have to apologize for not being quicker with my replies (and the next release) - I am just a little to busy in my life.
