Reply To: Add login form to template?

@ David

Connections does not have a login feature as of yet. Not sure I’ll be adding one yet because there are some many freely available feature rich plugins that can handle this already. I would suggest finding one that has a configurable frontend login widget.

If you install the Code Snippets plugin, you can add the following code as a new snippet. Once saved and activated, you can use the [connections_login_form] shortcode on a page or in a Text widget to add a login form to widget that can placed in the theme’s sidebar.

function cn_login_form_shortcode( $atts ) {

	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) return;
 
	$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
		'echo'           => FALSE,
		'redirect'       => get_permalink(),
		'form_id'        => 'loginform',
		'label_username' => __( 'Username', 'connections' ),
		'label_password' => __( 'Password', 'connections' ),
		'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me', 'connections' ),
		'label_log_in'   => __( 'Login', 'connections' ),
		'id_username'    => 'user_login',
		'id_password'    => 'user_pass',
		'id_remember'    => 'rememberme',
		'id_submit'      => 'wp-submit',
		'remember'       => TRUE,
		'value_username' => NULL,
		'value_remember' => FALSE
	), $atts, 'connections_login_form' );
  
	return wp_login_form( $atts );
 
}
add_shortcode( 'connections_login_form', 'cn_login_form_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

I hope that helps!
