Custom Login
By VinceK
Hello,
I'm running Elgg 3.3.12 and attempting to create a custom login page. I've created the plugin as per Elgg 3.0 recommended structure, but I'm having problems with redirecting the action to use the login script in my_plugin > actions > myplugin. I have read many pages of documentation and looked at other plugins, but I cannot get it work. Either it defaults to the Elgg login script or says "You don't have permission to view the requested page" or the "action/login cannot be found". I'm now completely lost.
Could someone please point me in the right direction or to an example?
Many thanks.

The mentioned code means you have your own custom login action in /mod/YOUR_COOL_PLUGIN/actions/login.php

You must log in to post replies.Have you defined 'action/login' in your plugin?
In elgg-plugin.php:
You're a star! I needed both your suggestions.
The problem was I had read so many different examples and docs relating to earlier Elgg versions I ended up with a muddle of actions, routes and calls to registers. i.e. in elgg-plugin.php I had tried:
'actions' => [ 'login' => [], ],
'login' => ['path' => '/actions/my_plugin', 'resource' => 'actions/my_plugin', ],]
'actions' => ['login' => ['access' => 'public', 'filename' => __DIR__ . '/actions/login.php']
I was also a little confused about the correct directory structure, I had incorrectly placed the login script in my_plugin/actions/my_plugin
Thanks again.
