Where can one find some decent tutorials for website x5 evolution 10? I downloaded the user manual but it's very vague on how to use some of the more advanced features like setting up the access management and step by step instructions

Hi Claudio
from my post "how to use login/logout/ widget
"Can anyone please help me with how to use the login/logout widgets in webx5 10, after some serious searching(read the manual, can't find any advanced tutorials anywhere, not in english anyway) and fiddling around in the program I can't get it working, I need to make a registration page where new users can register and a login where said new users can log in to the site, also do I need to make a database on the host side to store the information?"
Hello Alex,
The login widget in Step 3 in the HTML&Widget Object needs only to be added in your page and then it will automatically work. This can be found also in the Header editor in the HTML Code Object so yuo will be albe to provide the login logout widget directly in it.
About the registration of the users the Evolution Version has no automatic functionality to add new users and you will need to setup with the Email Form Object a registration form where the users sends you the requests and then you add them in Step 4 - Access Management and then you export the project online so the new user will be able to login. It is working without any database.
Many thanks!

Hi Claudio,
Thanks for the info, I have another quetion though, Certainly I need a registration page with a form so that new users can send me an email to create logins for them? is the widget linked to that? I noticed the program created a page called "automatic registration" why is it there? also it is fine that it is not automatic as I want to review possible user applications before I give them access

I have now got the login/logout thing to work, however I am faced with another problem, after logging in to the site it takes the logged in user to a alternate home page I designated for that that then allows the user to log out again, but if the user goes to any other page and then goes back to the home page they must log in again and the logout option i put in is now missing, this is because the home page is index.html and the logout page is home_page_logged-in.html, how can I make it so that once the user is logged in the home_page_logged-in.html acts as the home page and index.html only acts as the home to users who are not logged in?
Hello Alex,
The automatic registration page needs to be a page where you add an email form where the user will send you the request and you need to review it. It will not create any automatic login without your action.
About the login/logout you cannot set the project to use a different index page once logged in. What you can do is to add in step 1 - Edit Graphic Template - in the Header, by clicking on HTML code and then selecting from the widget list LOGOUT this function, which will be visible only if an user has previously logged in.
Many thanks!
