Advanced Login - Pop-Up Mode Example

We are showing the Advanced Login Module for DotNetNuke (dnn) in a Pop-Up Mode. We have configured the module onto the page, and referenced the text on the page that should trigger the pop-up mode to launch the on screen pop-up effect.

We have taken the template for the Registration and Login examples from some templates we were using on our website primary site for.

NOTE: Don't Register on this site. It is an example of the look and feel only. To test the registration process, please register on our site here.

How to gain access to a site that has no template

It is technically possible to remove templates or login tokens from the module and lock yourself out of the website. The module has protection from this event in two ways.

No Template Detection

If the module detects that you are updating the module settings and have totally removed the templates, it will detect this state and use a default template when accessing the front end of the module.

Load Default Template URL

Additionally if you were to access your login page with this module on, and found that you do not have any buttons to press for access, you can revert to a login protection mode by adding some text to the URL. This will force the module to display some basic login details.

Just add: “?loaddefault=true” (without the “”) to the URL with the module on it. So as an example if you have the module on the home page you would use:

· http://www.domain.com/Default.aspx?loaddefault=true

This will load the default template shown above.

This ensures that the Advanced Login module for DotNetNuke will not lock you out of your site and prevent you from logging in.
Using DotNetNuke for Zendesk single sign-on

ZenDesk Integration

http://www.zendesk.com/
Zendesk is an online ticketing system designed to manage support tickets through a website interface. Zendesk is one of the more popular ticketing systems available as a software as a service.

We have included within the advanced login module the ability to login to Zendesk using your DotNetNuke user database. This makes it possible to manage all of your user support tickets for your DotNetNuke website within the Zendesk software as a service ticketing system, without having to have a separate database if users.

Configuration of this system is extremely easy. There are two settings required one is within the Zendesk interface, and naturally requires you to have signed up for services with Zendesk.

The other is within that advanced login module for DotNetNuke.

Some background

Zendesk allows you to configure a remake URL that is referenced logging in. There should be a URL on your website that has an instance of the advanced login module installed on the page. That instance of the module needs to be configured to work with Zendesk.

When a user clicks on the login button at Zendesk they are redirected to the URL mentioned above. They login to the DotNetNuke website with the normal advanced login interface of your choice. They will then be redirected back to the Zendesk helpdesk having been authenticated through your DotNetNuke user database.

Setup a page with the advanced login module installed. We recommend that you use the page that is the default login page the DotNetNuke. We have explained elsewhere in the manual how to configure this page with an admin only view of the normal all standard DotNetNuke login module, and included in instance of the advanced login module. You can then define in the administrator settings of your website to use this to find page as the login page for your website.

This does not prohibit you from using the advanced login module with more advanced modes like slide down or pop-up effect on other pages of your websites, but it does ensure that should anyone be directed to the normal login page DotNetNuke that they are presented with an instance of the advanced login module. This is the instance that will be used to configure the Zendesk settings.

Some of the great advantages of using DotNetNuke as your authentication provider for Zendesk, include the ability to integrate deeply your Zendesk ticketing system directly into your DotNetNuke website without having to cross over your user database.

Additional information is available from our website in the support page user manual.

DNN Google Authentication Login

Recently DotNetNuke launched the ability to configure Google authentication for login to your DotNetNuke website. This feature made its debut in DNN 6.2

we have updated the advanced login module to include the ability to use a token to display login options for the Google authentication system that is available in DotNetNuke 6.2 .

The utilisation of the token requires you to preconfigure your DotNetNuke website with the Google authentication provider. A good description of how to do this is available here:

How to enable or disable the DotNetNuke Google authentication system that allows users to login to DNN using their existing Google account to login to DotNetNuke.

Prerequisites. You will need to sign up for a Google Authentication account to complete this tutorial. This authentication system must be enabled by a SuperUser (see "Managing Authentication Systems") before it can be viewed and configured.
1. Navigate to Admin > Extensions - OR – Go to an Extensions module.
2. Expand the Authentication Systems section.
3. Click the Edit button beside DotNetNuke Google Authentication Project.
4. Expand the Authentication Settings section.
5. At Enabled?, select from these options:
  - Check the check box to enable Google authentication.
  - Uncheck the check box to disable Google authentication. Note that any ID and Secret information you have added will not be removed from these fields unless you manually remove them. This allows you to re-enable this authentication system at any time without reentering this information. Skip to Step 8.
6. In the APP ID text box, enter the information provided to you by Google .
7. In the APP Secret text box, enter the secret code provided to you by Google.
8. Click the Update Authentication Settings link. The Google login button is now displayed on the Login page and any Account Login modules.

Using the Token in Advanced Login

After you have correctly configured DotNetNuke to allow the Google authentication provider. You may use the new token within the advanced login module templating system.

The token is: [login_google_button]

Which simply places button on the login page indicating that the user can utilise the Google login system.

Nothing could be simpler.
