Pixelsilk User Registration Documentation

The Pixelsilk user registration features allow, among other things, for visitors to a website to self-register themselves as users, and manage their account. A registered user behaves like any other Pixelsilk User, and can be given roles to access pages and administrative functions (though this is not recommended).

The user registration features are built around a collection of Page Types, which can be used individually or as a suite.

• User Registration - The place where site visitors may enter account details and be given a user account.
• Email Verification - Optionally, when a user has registered, they may receive an email with a link to this page, providing further user verification.
• Login - A page where users may log in to the site. This page may optionally replace the default login.aspx page for all user logins.
• Lost Password - A user may visit this page to retrieve a lost password (or username).
• Set Password - After a user receives an email from the Lost Password page, they may visit this page to set a new password. Note that pixelsilk does not store user passwords, so the user's password cannot simply be sent to the user, and instead must be reset.
• Change Password - A user may visit this page to change their existing password to a new password.
• User Section - Users may be listed on this page in a similar way to list sections.

Configuration Settings

Finally, there are a number of configuration settings that are used by the user registration features. They are described on the page types which use them, but you may view a reference of all configuration settings which are used.
