[clef_render_login_button] doesn't offer WP login option on hybrid mode sites #181

Open sandieann opened 10 years ago

sandieann commented 10 years ago

Is it possible to include the option to flip to a non Clef login? Whilst I'd love to switch off default WP login on all my sites, for some it's just not going to be possible currently. For those, it would be far preferable to keep the Clef option highly visible and keep trying to persuade as many folks as possible to use it. For a front-end login form on a hybrid site I currently need to add a WP login form and a Clef option. I suspect combining the two (the same or along the lines of wp-login.php page) so that the login fields are available, but not the first thing that someone sees might be helpful.

Just to clarify, you're asking for the [clef_render_login_button] shortcode to output the standard login WordPress login form as well?

sandieann commented 9 years ago

When you put it like that it does sound silly :-) Yet, two forms on the frontend is messy and leads to users defaulting to using the fields option that they're already used to. I'm suggesting (but have no data to back it up) that users presented with the same hybrid experience we're able to use at wp-login.php (primarily shown Clef, but a link to get the wp login fields) would be more likely to try Clef.

I could be in the minority on this (it's happened before)!

Discuss ;-)

Oh, I see what you're saying now — that makes much more sense. I have to think a little more about whether this is possible. If it helps, I'm pretty sure that if you set embed=true in the shortcode, you'll get that embedded wave view, it just won't have the quick switcher to passwords.

Ah I didn't know about embed=true I'll give it a whirl. I could add a plain text link for a standard login popup below the wave myself, or try popping them on tabs with Clef on the front tab, I'll give it a bit more thought. Clef doing this for folks might be nicer going forward, WordPress has a large user population that won't be using Clef right now because they don't know that all they need to do is implement a shortcode to be able to use it on the frontend ;-)

jessepollak commented 9 years ago

Yeah, we're working on better documentation for the shortcodes etc as well :)

@sandiehughes you may be able to accomplish what you are asking with one of the modal login in plugins along with wpclef.

Also, fyi, we're begining to push the shortcode (and other WP q's) in the Knoweldge Base: http://support.getclef.com/article/56-what-shortcodes-are-supported-in-clefs-wordpress-plugin. A refresh of the documentation in the WPClef repository is in the works too.
