Thanks alot for make this plugin. I was waiting ages for some one to fork that plugin.

but i have few problems.

1- when i try login, logout. it does refresh pages.
Register and lost password does work.

2- could you make the style more like this plugin. it will be very cleaner.

3- Optimize js file, the file is too big. And make the file load in the footer rather then in header. check this article:

thanks again.

I have been looking for a login plugin and this one is great!

Having said that, may I suggest a few improvements?

1) It looks a lot better in Firefox that IE7. Can you do something about that?

2) How about giving it some unique CSS properties so it can be styled?

3) How about giving the option for a widget title. I use title bars to separate widgets and there is no way to separate this one from the previous widget without some custom coding.

Other than that, great job! Thanks.

Plugin well called for!

The tables threw out the appearance of the widget for me.

Also, would love to see ability to have a user_url and description upon registration.

Cheers, and keep up the good work.

1- mmm, well u are right, but some people do not need that. so it will be bitter if you make an option in the admin area.

2- sorry about that. forgot the past button.

the best thing in that plugin styling is that, it is crystal clear. check my site.

and when you login you will see three links:
Dashboard
Profile
Logout

and also the title of the sidebar automathecally changes from Login to Welcome (USERNAME)

Thanks,
regards Iman.

This is somewhat off topic but what are you using to run this comment section? It’s fabulous. I don’t remember every seeing anything like this before.

I am not a total newbie so I looked at your page source code but wasn’t able to discover how you’re doing it. I probably missed seeing it there.

@David Underhill
Maybe an Ajax Comments plugin should be your second WordPress plugin.

well i looked into the source of inova few months ago, and found the code but didnt know how to use it so leaved it. i was looking for the Replay and Quote button.

Also searched for many ajax commenting plugin, but most of them were outdated and not working. there was one, but it was using HUGE amount of memory.

Thanks for making thew plugin it’s looks like it’s got some cool functionality! I had trouble with another plugin users could reg but not log. So i installed your plugin WP 2.7 iNove theme and when i test to reg a dumby username it gives this error. Unknown registration response.
I have mucked around for days trying to get a reg/login system for my users. Would you mind please reg or email me or come in to the WP admin to straighten it out please.

Thanks for the reply! What could be done next? I previously disabled the plugin deleting the pugin from the directory as well!

I was able to make my own template, using some stuff from Sidebar Login.
The links are now different depending on the logged in user role. The register link only appears if the “Anyone can register” options is checked.
I’m now lookin to have some kinda CAPTCHA thing on the register module.
Great stuff!

This is just what I posted in the WordPress plugin feedback. Please discard my previous comment.

Great stuff, David.
I’ve customized my own template to include the following:
- Register link only appears if “Anyone can register” options is checked
- Logged in users have different links depending on their role.
(Admin have add’l to Dashboard, Authors/Editors have add’l link to Post an article, …)
- Made the login look more like a widget by adding a title depending on the mode
Login -> Member Login
Logged in -> Welcome, Bak
Register -> Join the club
Lost Password -> Retrieve Password
- I also tried to have default text in text fields which are cleared onfocus unless you enter something in them. I then removed the focus function from your javascript when you change mode (Login/Lost Password/Register). It worked but I reverted back to the original setting.

It would be nice to request additional information upon registration such as CAPTCHA. I tried to use the “is_human()” plugin but can’t get it to work. I’ll try some more tho. Any ideas?

The Twitter idea from 3) is great idea.
I’ve also been looking for a front-end user profile plugin/page, where users can see their posts, comments, avatar, password change, links to other accounts (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and stuff like that). Any ideas?
Thanks again for such a nice plugin.
If you want to see my template, just lemme know.

I think i know what your getting at with the Twitter thing. This might be another plugin but if there was a link once logged in to ‘members’ then when at that page. Imagine a full list (long long list) of all the members if it’s 10 then 10 if it’s 500 then 500.

And have wavatar like similar to this http://TwitPWR.com/6vO/ but spread them out or even one each line then along side have the members twitter,facebook usernames if they had one. It would just be a pretty looking page with the wavator,gravatar etc and will show a community feel to it also that users might come to know to go to when they login then they look at each members. Possibly when you roll over a users member name it might open an area down below to show there twitter, then roll the mouse over facebook and you see their face book. I dunno i’m just thinking ideas.

But i would like a single page that i can insert [community-members-list] that i could put in a post or page somewhere. Even just wavatar list and a username page like in the link above would be good.

I’m not a programer at all. I’m happy to give you guys ideas. So if you ever need ideas just ask. I have dozens more for various plugin ideas as well if your a developer and want ideas. I will give the ideas i just want to be able to use the plugin It’s a Win/Win.

So, any idea when the next release is comming.

Thanks

There is a plugin competition that you may be able to enter it into! I can find the link again couple days. This is just a quick message. They want entries that are a social function…

How are you going with this David?

This is the comp not sure if it’s suitable:
http://www.socialactions.com/changetheweb

its been 2 weeks since that, still didn’t released the new version. just wondering if it going to be released soon.

Hey there!

I love your plugin, it rocks! Unfortunatelly I can’t use it; I have the same issue with it as Jaffasoft, “Unknown registration response” when trying to register. The username is created and the password sent, but this error throws people off.

Fortunately I also found the root of the problem, at least in my case. It’s the plugin OpenID. Whenever it is active, that response is given.
Plugin wordpress page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid
The tests were conducted at http://www.atheistblog.org/test/, which I set up as a mirror to my blog from an old backup for testing different plugins. I have left the conflicting plugins active so you can see the issue, maybe it can help.

I’m no programmer, but if there is any way I can further contribute, let me know.

Update… OK, I have added the widget to the sidebar now… :-0 !!!

However, I get a pop up that says ‘unknown login response’ when I try to log in. Logging out works fine. What causes this? Thanks.

Hi,
I installed your plugin in my WP, but I don’t use the widget, so I used this codex

in my sidebar, but I have an error “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_logout_url() in /membri/musicanapoli/wp-content/plugins/ajax-login-widget/alw_template.php on line 111″.
How can I fix?
Sorry for my english!
Thanks.

Sorry, the codex is add_ajax_login_widget()

Have you given up on this or did you die? I’ve got tonnes people coming to my site but they can’t register or login so they are missing out of the content because of the memberwing member levels.

Hoping that this can be a system soon!

Hello!
Very Interesting post! Thank you for such interesting resource!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I’v just started to learn this language
See you!
Your, Raiul Baztepo

on your next update, you need to support other languages. i can translate this plug in to 3 more languages.

for more info:

http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers

I’m assuming this is not a working plug-in judging by the comments? Has anyone made it work at all or figured out what breaks it?

Great work David! Really love the plugin (and so needed like everyone else here has mentioned already) however really need a CAPTCHA of some sort since i’m worried about bot signups and spam.
Not to pressure you… but any chance the update for this plugin (including captcha) will be released before next month (May)?
Thx!

awesome plugin. works great just wondering if you could add either an option to disable the register link or to only show it if “anyone can register” is enabled. I can definitely do this on my version but it would be nice to not have it overwritten when new updates come out! an associated stylesheet would be great also.

Nice plugin, very useful, thanks.

Quick question, is it possible for the widget to default to the registration section first instead of the login one? If it is can you let me know how you would do that (I’ve been searching through the php but could not find an obvious place to set it).

Michael

If you are using this plugin on an SSL page, but your URL in your WP settings is NOT the ssl site, then it will have problems since it will be trying to make an ssl request from a non ssl page.

To fix this, in ajax-login-widget.php on line 49, insert
var alw_base_uri = ‘<?php
$url = get_bloginfo( ‘wpurl’ );
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == 443){ $url = str_replace(“http://”, “https://”, $url); }
print($url);

?>’;

instead of
var alw_base_uri = ‘<?php bloginfo( ‘wpurl’); ?>’;

This will send the request via SSL for any page that is using SSL on the standard port (443).

Hello david, wonderful plugin. I am using other plugin called register-plus, and I wonder if the registration behavior on the widget could extract those extra fields from register-plus (I need this because my wordpress does not send passwords to new users with the default registration form – I can’t fix it, tried everything!) just like this plugin lets extrat those fields: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registration-form-widget/ here is my register page: http://www.re-searcher.com/site/wp-login.php?action=register

thank you!!

Is there a way to eliminate the logged in user’s ability to edit their profile by clicking on their name once they are logged in? Anyone have an idea on how I might be able to do that with this?

Does anyone know how to get this widget to the header? This is an awesome widget which i wouldnt want to slot it on the sidebar. This needs to be at the top where everyone can see!

Currently using the unstandard theme if that makes any difference…

cheers

I’d bet you have to widgetize the header.php file, although I’ve never thought of that so unsure of process or results.

Hi there, I also can log out fine, but get ‘unknown login response’ if I try and log with the widget. Is there a fix for this, or at least, what is the cause? Anyone? I didn’t quite follow Vlad Nistor’s comment about Open ID. As far as I know, I’m not using Open ID for the site. Thanks in advance!

Disregard the above. I went back to 2.7 and it seems to be working. Thanks

Hi, I set this up and had it working fine for a few days, then lo and behold it just stopped working! Seems like therer was no reason for it, so have no cue where to start trying to fix it. I am using 2.84 and this does say compatible up to 2.7 so that may be the reason, also, maybe another plugin is killing it, but I have very few plugins and nothing was added between it working and not working (over an evening).

Is this still being worked on? Any alternatives to this for 2.8?

Idea’s for future version.

1. Check if user name is available
2. Add custom fields to sign-up (Probably out of scope, but would be cool!)
3. Tested to work with WPMU

Thank you!

A logout redirect like your login redirect would be great!

This is awesome, well done!
