The authentication_login_form tag renders a form that allows the visitor to login as a certain Authentication Type.
The authentication_login_form tag takes the plural name of an Authentication Type as input.
It is also possible to give extra arguments as a key,value pair. These arguments are transformed into html attributes on the generated form html tag.
The authentication_login_form tag requires that the authentication_field tag is called inside of it for each of the inputs:
'email'
'password'
Accepts parameter redirect_to
, with a path that the user is redirected to after successful login.
Also accepts a parameter error_msg
to use a custom message when logging in does not work, for example when the wrong credentials are used.
Example:
{% authentication_login_form "dealers", error_msg: "custom error message", redirect_to: "/portal-page" %} {% authentication_field "email", class: "form-field" %} {% authentication_field "password", class: "form-field" %} <input type="submit" value="Login!"> {% endauthentication_login_form %}
Note: Do not forget to display the output of [request.flash], since that contains potential error messages.
