The commands in this section are only available in the Pro edition of WebSite X5: they define how users are registered and set the parameters for the registration process.
First of all, you need to define the Registration Mode, choosing from:
|
Manual Registration: the website administrator creates the users and sends them their credentials for accessing locked pages. There may be a registration form on the website, but the actual registration is completed by the administrator working on the project in WebSite X5. This is the default option in the Evo edition. |
||
|
|
If you choose Manual Registration you can enable the following Settings:
| ▪ | Registration Page: this option takes you to the website Map and you can specify which page is to be displayed when the user clicks on the Register link to enter his e-mail address and password for accessing locked pages. |
|
This option is also available in the Evo edition: in this case, it appears under the Groups/Users table. |
If you choose Automatic Registration, these Settings are available:
| ▪ |  Admin e-mail address: enter a valid administrator e-mail address. This parameter is required since all password reset requests made by registered Users will be sent to this address. This address is also the one from which e-mails are sent to users asking them to validate their e-mail addresses (Enable E-mail Address Validation), and that receives new registration e-mails (Send an e-mail to notify new users subscription). |
| ▪ | Send an e-mail to notify new users subscription: the website administrator will receive an e-mail each time a new user registers. |
| ▪ | Enable 'Captcha' anti-spam filter: adds the Captcha anti-spam filter to the end of the registration form. |
|
Use the command in the Privacy and Security | Security window to choose the captcha system that is to be used. |
| ▪ | Enable E-mail Address Validation: enables user e-mail address validation, to make sure the e-mail addresses are correct, especially if they are to be used for sending letters of a commercial nature (the double opt-in procedure for subscriptions to newsletters). In practice, when a user completes the registration procedure, an e-mail is sent to the address he has indicated in the registration form. The e-mail asks him to click on the link in the e-mail to confirm he has received the e-mail and, consequently, authenticate the e-mail address. If the user does not confirm the e-mail, his registration cannot be completed. The user name is added to the Automatic Registration group, but a yellow dot is shown next to his name, to indicate an incomplete registration. |
Whichever Registration Mode you choose, you can then define the Login and Password Page Settings:
| ▪ | Welcome message: you can write the text of the warning message to be displayed when a user tries to open a locked page without having logged in. In this case, the visitor is re-directed to another page, created automatically by the Program, that includes the following: |
| • | Introduction: the welcome text, specified here. |
| • | Login form: registered users can log in with their e-mail and password. Moreover, if you are using the Automatic Registration, a link for recovering the password if the user has forgotten it will be reported. |
| • | Registration form: new users can fill in the form to register. If the e-mail address has to be confirmed, a message is displayed after the form has been filled in, asking the user to check his e-mail for new messages and confirm his e-mail address. |
|
This option is also available in the Evo edition: in this case, it appears under the Groups/Users table. |
