J!Login provides a simple login forum that will directly log a user into another site. The other site may be any that requires a two field login such as osCommerce, SMF and other Joomla! sites.

Its important to not that it is not a bridge and in no way shared information with the other system.

This manual covers all the basics required to utilise J!Login.

Installation

Installation is done using the standard Mambo module installation. To find out more about this please refer to the official Mambo documentation at docs.mamboserver.com.

Configuration

Once installed go to Modules/Site Modules/J!Login to open the Module and define the paramaters.

Parameters

Module Class Suffix

• This is the standard suffix used for applying specific css styles to modules.

Login Redirection URL

• This is the URL that the login information would normally be passed into in the destination.
• In osCommerce this would look like...
• http://www.yoursite.com/login.php?action=proccess
• Note that the url needs to include additional variables, in this case "action". This will all depend on the system into which the login is being submitted.

User Field Label

• Simply the label that is viewed next to the input box; such as "Username".

User Field Name

• The name used for the field.
• In osCommerce what many would casually call the Username field is actually named "email_address".

Password Field Label

• The label that is viewed next to the input box; such as "Password".

Password Field Name

• The name used for the field.
• In osCommerce is "password", but just in case others needed to change it I made it configurable.

Submit Text

• The label that is viewed in the submit button. This could be "Submit", "Go" or whatever you like.
