Snippets

Login form for extranet user should look something like this:

{{ request.alert }}
<form action="{{ extranet_user.login_path }}" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" />
  <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
  <button>Log in</button>
</form>

The tag {{ request.alert }} will display an error message if the credentials is invalid. We can use site translations to set what message should be used. Add a key called extranet.invalid_login.

To log out we need a link like this:

<a href="{{ extranet_user.logout_path }}">Log out</a>

When logged in users can view protected pages if they're assigned to the correct extranet group that the protected page requires.

To redirect user when login use:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="/page-url" />

A full example would look something like this:

{% if extranet_user.logged_in? %}
  <a href="{{ extranet_user.logout_path }}">Log out</a>
{% else %}
  {{ request.alert }}
  <form action="{{ extranet_user.login_path }}" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" />
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
    <button>Log in</button>
  </form>
{% endif %}
