Hi Support

I am really confused by the registration process!!!

To the best of my knowledge there are at least 4 ways to register…

EasySocial Login [mod_easysocial_login]
Module mod_easysocial_register
Module mod_easysocial_logbox

And then there is the registration on the community page:

In an ideal worl, what I want is simple ;-)

Quick registration with a little button at then end telling people they can go to the detailed registration if they want or skip the detailed registration for now.

What I am not getting…

A) I have a Quick registration module on the home page but it seems to take me automatically to the detailed registration… Am I missing something is there a setting somewhere for the quick registration?!! To activate it.

B) In the “BUG LOGIN” currently on the right of the site there is also a little link for registration.

This brings me straight into the Detailed Registration process!

Is there a way to get this to take me to the simple registration process?

C) Then there is the registration on the Community page is there a way to make this simple!?! As far as I can see it is always detailed and there is no way to change this…

thanks

Paul
Hello Paul,

There's only 2 ways to register via EasySocial and it's as simple as

1. Quick Registration (You choose what fields you want to require in the profile type setup)

2. Normal Registration (Which goes through the normal registration)


A) I have a Quick registration module on the home page but it seems to take me automatically to the detailed registration… Am I missing something is there a setting somewhere for the quick registration?!! To activate it.

The reason why you are taken to the full registration is most likely because you configured the "Quick Registration" to use the "Full Registration" behavior. Again, this can be configured from the back end settings of EasySocial as you can see here, http://screencast.com/t/j2WfdY3tP . As simple as that


B) In the “BUG LOGIN” currently on the right of the site there is also a little link for registration.
This brings me straight into the Detailed Registration process!
Is there a way to get this to take me to the simple registration process?

Think of this as a way for users who want to go through a normal registration process. Again, it doesn't matter which registration form they use because at the end of the day, your goal is to convert users to register on your site isn't it


C) Then there is the registration on the Community page is there a way to make this simple!?! As far as I can see it is always detailed and there is no way to change this…

This is exactly the same as (b) so again, there's only 2 types of registration and it's as simple as that

Hi Mark

Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me :-)

The thing is that on my Site the detailed registration process is really detailed and I do not want to put people off registering in the first place! Once they have registered I can send them reminder mails to do the detailed registration etc.

Having two login process is well and good but I am worried that it will be confusing for users.

This is what I am thinking:

A) Have the “Quick registration” in the middle of the home page where you can not miss it!
B) Have the link for “Register for an account” in Module mod_easysocial_login take me to the middle of the home page.
i.e. the “Quick registration”

C) Remove the Login and Register modules from the top of the community page

This way, there is only one way to register and it is quick and simple!

One of the best implemented logins that I have ever seen is here:

http://www.memrise.com/

I know that I mentioned this but before but having a big bar for completeness from a profile up top of a profile just makes sense to me. Also allowing users to do different stuff depending on how complete there profile is also makes a lot of sense to me ;-) See the screen shot for a very good implementation of this. The “bar” is actually a series of buttons inviting you to finishing filling out different parts of your profile!

I know you told me in another post how to remove the login from the community page. So I can dig that one out again.

Basically I want to know 2 things:

1) How can I replace the “Register for an account” link with a link too the home page
2) How can I get a link not only go to a page but a position on a page. Middle of home page!!!

thanks in advance

Paul

Hi,

If you are referring to the module then you can go to the file at: /modules/mod_easysocial_login/tmpl/default_vertical.php line 36 to edit the link.

To have it jump to the middle of the page, just add an anchor in the target page of where you want the page to jump to:

<a id="jumphere"></a>


And your link should looks like: http://youriste.com/page#jumphere

You should come across URL that ends with #name, and this is actually the purpose of it.

Hello Support

Maybe this is stupid but this is what I was thinking over the weekend. When I try to join a group I get the following window. Please see the first screen shot.
My idea. Link the registration button shown in the second screen shot to the window in the first screen shot. This would make the Site an all quick registration Site. Any ideas how to achieve this…

thanks

Paul

Hello Paul,

You can do that by altering the module file so that it used the code onclick="EasySocial.login();"

Hi Mark

I take it that you are talking about the Login Module file? Could you give me a clue where I would find something like that.

thanks

Hello Paul,

You need to edit the file /modules/mod_easysocial_login/tmpl/default_horizontal.php

Hi Mark

I changed the code at line 75 in the file that you mentioned. I probably did something wrong as this is a little over my head. Uploaded file via FTP but nothing changed. I cleared my browsers cache and tried multiple browsers. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

<div id="fd" class="es mod-es-login es-responsive style-horizontal module-social<?php echo $suffix;?>">
<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php' );?>" id="es-mod-login-signout-form" method="post">
<div class="text-center">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="EasySocial.login();" class="btn btn-primary">
<?php echo JText::_( 'MOD_EASYSOCIAL_LOGIN_SIGN_OUT' );?>
</a>
</div>

<input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo base64_encode( JRequest::getURI() );?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="user.logout" />
<?php echo $modules->html( 'form.token' ); ?>
</form>
</div>


Am curious to see if I figured out how to paste code into this forum

thanks

Paul
