collective.pluggablelogin 1.2.1

Turns the login form into a portlet manager for easier customization

Introduction

collective.pluggablelogin overrides the standard Plone login form with a template using a portlet manager, so that various login components can be configured.

Configuration

Go to the Addons control panel and activate “Pluggable Login Page.”

Now if you go to /login while logged in as a Manager, you’ll see a “Manage portlets” link which you can use to manage the available login portlets. By default, the standard login portlet and a registration form portlet are enabled (the latter is only shown if self registration is enabled for the site).

As well as manual assignment via the web interface, the pluggable login page can also be assigned portlets via GenericSetup, in the same way as Plone’s other portlet managers can. For example, to register a custom porlet on the pluggable login page, use this an example within portlets.xml inside a GenericSetup profile:

<portlets
    xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
    i18n:domain="plone">
 <assignment
    name="navigation"
    category="context"
    key="/"
    manager="collective.pluggablelogin"
    type="my.product.portlets.CustomLoginPortlet"
    insert-before="*"
    visible="True">
    <property name="title">string:Login portlet title</property>
    <property name="description">string:Example property</property>
 </assignment>
</portlets>
