User account block with log in functionality

[lordmark200]

Hi all,

 

By default the User Account block only displays when a user is logged in. I wanted to adapt it so that if a user isn't logged in it will display a login form. I managed to get this working by modifying the myaccount block but I'm not sure if I approached it in the right way and would welcome any advice.

 

Firstly I edited modules/blockmyaccount/blockmyaccount.php:

 

Changing:

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params)
{
 global $smarty;

 if (!$params['cookie']->isLogged())
  return false;
 $smarty->assign(array(
  'voucherAllowed' => (int)(Configuration::get('PS_VOUCHERS')),
  'returnAllowed' => (int)(Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_RETURN')),
  'HOOK_BLOCK_MY_ACCOUNT' => Module::hookExec('myAccountBlock')
 ));
 return $this->display(__FILE__, $this->name.'.tpl');
}

 

to

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params)
{
 global $smarty;

 if (!$params['cookie']->isLogged())
  return $this->display(__FILE__, $this->name.'2.tpl');
 $smarty->assign(array(
  'voucherAllowed' => (int)(Configuration::get('PS_VOUCHERS')),
  'returnAllowed' => (int)(Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_RETURN')),
  'HOOK_BLOCK_MY_ACCOUNT_LOGIN' => Module::hookExec('myAccountLoginBlock')
 ));
 return $this->display(__FILE__, $this->name.'.tpl');
}

 

Then I created a copy of blockmyaccount.tpl and called it blockmyaccount2.tpl and replaced the contents with the form from authentication.php

 

<div class="block myaccount">
<h4>Account Holders</h4>
<div class="block_content">
 <form action="authentication.php" method="post" id="login_form" class="std">
  <p class="text">
<label for="email">E-mail address</label>
<span><input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" class="account_input" /></span>
  </p>
  <p class="text">
<label for="passwd">Password</label>
<span><input type="password" id="passwd" name="passwd" value="" class="account_input" /></span>
  </p>
  <p class="submit">
<input type="submit" id="SubmitLogin" name="SubmitLogin" class="button" value="Log in" />
  </p>
  <p class="lost_password"><a href="password.php">Forgot your password?</a></p>
		<p class="registerforaccount"><a href="authentication.php"><strong>Register Here</strong></a></p>
</form>
</div>
</div>

 

I have since edited more of the php file and config file to make it a completely separate module from blockmyaccount so that my changes aren't overwritten if I update Prestashop.

 

It all seemed a little too easy, surely there's something I've done wrong?

 

Many thanks

Hello!

 

Seems to be correct, but you will know for sure when you test it.

Hello, I have proved the modifications that lordmark200 wrote.

 

Apparently it works correctly, but not shows correctly. I have attache 2 pictures to show it.

 

First pictures shows when I click on "Enter" in the top-right of Prestashop.

 

Second pictures shows when I´m in the index.php of Prestashop.

 

Do you know what could be the solution ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello!

 

You need to set up the CSS styles correctly and check if the HTML code is correct.

Hi.

Thanks for your adaption!

I'm trying it and when I log in with correct user and password, it goes to autenticacion.php and it doesn't log. So I have to log in the standar page.

Why doesn't log in correctly from my block?
