Improved signup page

[klok_pm]

I was not entirely happy with the default signup page of website baker. I think there are 2 issues:
- The default script makes use of the default error function of wb. This function is  designed for the backend of the website ( see bug ticket 769) and not for the front end. It gives a lot of errors/ issues such as incomplete rendering of a page.
- The form does not remember the provided values once the form errors. It gives you an option to go back to the form but all  fields are cleared and the visitors needs to fill in the form all over again.

In order to fix this i had to combine the files signup_form.php and signup2.php to one single file. please find it attached.  You can place this in the account folder of your wb installation.

Also you need to make one small adjustment in signup.php. Replace:
if(isset($_POST['username'])) {
    define('PAGE_CONTENT', WB_PATH.'/account/signup2.php');
} else {
    define('PAGE_CONTENT', WB_PATH.'/account/signup_form.php');
}
with the following:
define('PAGE_CONTENT', WB_PATH.'/account/signup_new.php');

why don't you additionally post this solution to the ticket you mentioned?

Great work!

This solves my problem with my template not displaying when one of the required criteria is not entered, and an error page displays.

BUT... when the signup form is completed correctly, the email I receive is blank.  Both the subject and the body.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

I attached it. I can't test it at the moment but maybe it helps.

I attached it at the Projekt page under the Ticked. You can't see it here.

Interesting. Are the other issues also solved?
- The default script makes use of the default error function of wb. This function is  designed for the backend of the website ( see bug ticket 769) and not for the front end. It gives a lot of errors/ issues such as incomplete rendering of a page.
- The form does not remember the provided values once the form errors. It gives you an option to go back to the form but all  fields are cleared and the visitors needs to fill in the form all over again.

My script does not have a seperation of html/ php, but it fixes the issues above.

Hello Klok,
I was aware of your solution before uploading my files to the forum.

The reason why I doesn't implement this into my patch is just because I don't wanted to be too confusing at once.
So my patch provides a straight rework and split of php and html with the oportunity to restyle those areas without touching the core files.

But I can see, that your aproach is a good idea and I guess it would be a good addition.

Stefek
