register_user plugin

Newbie here, trying out all the plugins.
Can somebody shed me e light with the register_user plugin?
On the plugin config page I read:

User registration page:
If this option is set, the visitor login form will include a link to this page.

But there is no such a link on my /zenphoto/zp-core/admin.php page?

I am using the zenpage theme and the script point to the register page.

  • The `visitor login form` would be the one displayed on the front-end of your theme using the `user_login-logout` plugin. The link you are quoting gets the admisistrative login form.

    On the Zenpage theme the visitor login will be in the right sidebar. The register link will be at the bottom left of the form that is displayed for logging in.
  • Hi, you know what all my zenphoto pages got completely blank!
    In Chrome I get the message:

    Access to the webpage was denied
    You are not authorized to access the webpage at http://172.16.65.1/immoshots/zenphoto/. You may need to sign in.
    HTTP Error 403 (Forbidden): The server refused to fulfill the request.

    I don't know what happened..
    I managed to have the visitor login form show up in the sidebar (I had to enable the register_user plugin, otherwise it did not work. Maybe plugin conflict?)

    Anyway now on a fresh install with zenpage theme.
    I only have the password field, no username.
    When I try to login in with my password, nothing?
  • Sounds like somehow you have .htaccess denying access to your folders from WEB browsers.

    As to the logon form, please familiarize yourself with the plugin options.
  • Hi sbillard, thanks for your help.

    I think I figured out why I got access completely blocked. It was because I had the failed_access_blocker plugin active, whoops.
    Is that what happens with that plugin?

    Anyway, I installed a complete fresh copy of ZP, load the Zenpage theme, goto plugin tab and activate the user_login-out plugin and than set the Enable login form to ON (OFF doesn't doesn't display anything anyway).
    Now when I go to index.php I see the logout link.
    When I log out I get a form with ONLY the password field.
    Trying to use my password fails.
    Actually that is why after trying +10 times the failed_access_blocker blocked access and after one hour I could get in again, right?

    So what happened with the username field?

    Please try the nightly build. The login issue is a known one fixed there.

    And yes, that is what the failed access blocker does.
  • Hi acrylian. Thank you very much for pointing out the nightlies!
    In case any newbie is reading this post find info and the builds here:
    http://www.zenphoto.org/pages/nightly-builds

    I can't wait to dive into and get my hands dirty.
    Very impressed with ZP so far, kudos to you guys!

    Thanks, we like to hear that..:-) (Btw, I just realize that we mailed recently)
  • yep it's me :)
    See ya!
  • hum, I just installed the nightly, nada.
    Only the password field and login fails:

  • You do not get a user field unless you do one of two things.

    a/ have a user name associated with your guest passwoed.
    b/ check the option to show that field (option found on the gallery tab.)
  • The b option did it! Thanks a lot :)
  • Just a note: That option really belongs on the security tab. We will move it for 1.4.2
