Joomla Registration and Login on the same form

HaughtonLab 03 Sep, 2009
I just started using CF and am very happy with the product, but I have a question. I have searched the forum for a solution to this, but did not find exactly what I was looking for. I have set up CF as the default registration for my joomla site and everything is working smoothly. I am currently using Joomla's default login form, but would like to switch it to a CF form. What I would like to do is have one page that has both the login and the registration form on one page, so if the user is registered already they can just log in and if not-- they can go ahead and register. So my questions are, first is there a way to create a CF form that does both registration and login? Second, if not, what is the best way to accomplish the above task? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi HaughtonLab,

You can have a single form with two submit buttons and sort our the work-flow after submission - but this is likely to confuse the user and make validation difficult.

You could put the login form in a separate form and embed that using a module or the ChronoForms Plugin at one side of the main registration form.

The main thing to watch here is going to be getting the UI really clear.
