Hello,

I purchased your Pro package – and I want to have a login widget for my wordpress website that allows new people to register using the Forms plugin and they can create their own user account once the ADMIN has approved it. Is this possible to create with the Pro Package, can I get some help?

Yes, but you would not use Form. The Form extension is to allow site visitor, not site users, to submit entries to be listed in the directory.

What you would do is use a user registration plugin, there are many freely available ones out there.

After a successful user registration, you would have the redirect setup to the “Edit My Directory Entry” admin profile page that the Link extension for Connections add.

From there you newly registered user can submit and entry which you can decide if that submission should be moderated or not.

Hope that makes sense and helps!

Thanks for the reply, I don’t think I was clear in what I am looking to do.

I want the new user to have a login | Register Widget on the homepage and I want the Register Link to work with the connections, but I do not want the end user go to the admin page of Word Press, I want it to bring them to a page on the actual website.

When they register it will be sent to the admin for approval and once approved they are able to login through the widget?

Make sense? I do not want the new user to see anything to do with the Admin Panel of WordPress.

Is this possible with your Connections Solution?

I don’t think I follow … Connections, nor any of its extensions handles, processes or creates user logins. The registration plugin would have to handle all that and it would also be that plugin that would send you email notification for registrations that require approval. I’m not certain what you want to do with Connections … if you want it so your approved registered users can submit/add an entry to the directory, you must use Link, which at present requires that they visit their “Edit My Directory Entry” admin profile page to add and maintain their entry. Later in the year, Link will integrate with the Form extension to allow frontend submissions for registered users and will allow them to maintain their entry in the frontend too, but that is not available now.
