UI confusion between login and registration

[pierreozoux]

I have 2 ways for creating account for people:

• self service with your awesome plugin
• I create account for people with the traditional xCloud account creation, and send a mail to people

In the second case, there is an issue, I'd say 80% of people don't see the login button of xCloud, and click on registration.

Here is a screenshot: https://cloud.pierre-o.fr/index.php/s/tQkgXCzA91nohMo

I'm not a UI expert, but would be nice if we could fix that. Not sure if it is your plugin or xCloud problem.

Do you have any idea? If not, we could contact http://ura.design/

In the long term, I think I'll remove the register button from the index, and just wire the landing page to the registration form, but still think it could be a valuable feature for everybody.

This is definitely a UX problem, but unfortunately there's no way for plugins to touch the login page (except for the "Alternate logins" fields).

Wiring the landing page to the registration form requires some ugly hack (like injecting javascripts that redirects), so this should only be our last resort.

One proposal for the core might be accepted: When alternative login exists, show the original Login button to avoid confusion.

What do you think?

Ok, then, if I understand well, we should close here and open in Nc/oC?

In the mean time for me, I removed the register button, and from my landing page, I redirect to the register page.

You cna see it in action here: https://indiehosters.net

We could have this as an option in admin? Do you think it makes sense? (I can PR, I'm increasing my xCloud developing skills :) )

Oh I misunderstood you, I thought your proposal was to hijack the login page and redirect it to registration and add login button on registration, because there is no landing page for my site. Nevermind.

I would like to keep this open until the issue is solved in NC/OC.

[pierreozoux]

But we should open an issue there right? Or do you know if there is already soemthing?

[pellaeon]

Yeah, can you do it?
