Using Login

The Login application comes as part of the standard FastFrame distribution. Mostly it takes care of showing the login page and authenticating the user (Screenshot), but there are a few advanced features you can utilize:

• If you want to alert your users to a temporary problem or announcement you can create a new Login Status by clicking on the “Login Status” link in the left-hand menu. Your message will show up on the login screen until you delete it.
• If you want a more permanent message to be displayed beneath the login box you can edit the motd.php file in the config/ directory of the login application.
• If you want your users to be able to create an account and retrieve a forgotten password you can edit login’s conf.php file in the config/ directory. Change the create_account setting to profile_app.
• If you want the username and password encrypted when they are submitted you can set the secure_login setting to true in FastFrame’s conf.php file.
• If you want users to be logged out after a certain amount of inactivity you can change the idle seting in FastFrame’s conf.php file.
