Feature Request: Make the Pro Login Widget function like login pop up on s2Member site #905

Closed renzms closed 8 years ago

renzms commented 8 years ago

Many customers have requested and have asked how to make the Pro Login work just like the pop up login at s2member.com

It would be nice to have this as a built in option for the Pro Login Widget or an option for s2Member Pro.

Current Workaround

The popup at s2Member.com is powered by Bootstrap Modal windows. Docs here: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals

We provide the Pro Login Widget, and you can integrate this either via the Dashboard → Appearance → Widgets panel in WordPress, or via PHP: http://s2member.com/kb-article/pro-login-widget/

How the Pro Login Widget is introduced by a given theme is something that is a part of implementation; i.e., it is very theme-specific. If you are looking for a specific type of login box presentation, you might want to seek assistance from a developer.

I can certainly see why there is a desire for something like this, but I feel that it's best left up to a theme or to the developer working with a client that is using the s2Member plugin.

As of right now, we have:

Then, there is the WP Admin Bar (shown to users also), which:

Then, there is the /wp-login.php page which is common to all WP installs.

Anything above and beyond those choices is going to be theme-specific and maybe even require custom design work; i.e., there is no one-size fits all approach that s2Member Pro can offer, because every theme is different; e.g, different navigation bar, different layouts, different z-index stacks, etc.

The closest I see us getting (in any formal way) is with the shortcode, and we already provide this. Using the shortcode a site owner can integrate the login form into a popup-style overlay provided by theme functionality already, or by any number of other plugins.
