Member Login Form

When you are creating password-protected content in your Govstack CMS, you need to link to a login form page that users who have been given member access will use to view the content.

Create a login form for password-protected content

You can create a login form directly on a page in the Govstack CMS. To do this, you need to:

1. Navigate to your Govstack CMS from the Govstack dashboard
2. Under the 'Content' tab in the Govstack main menu, add a new page
3. Enter a name for the page that members will see when they open the form (i.e., "Login Page")
4. Select the 'Add content' button under the 'Main content' area of the page 'Content' tab
5. This will open the 'Add content' slide-out panel
6. From here, select the 'Form' component
7. Next to 'Form type', select 'Login Form'
8. Next to 'Login success page', click 'Add'. Select the password-protected page you want members to arrive on if they successfully log in
9. Next to 'Reset password request page', click 'Add'. Select the password reset request page you want members to arrive on if they are unable to log in
10. Toggle the 'Hide local login' slider as required. If you are using the members section as an intranet and your secure pages are only available to members or your internal team then this should be set to 'Yes'. If the secure pages are being used by people who don't have access to the SSO for your organization then this should be set to 'No'
11. Toggle the 'SSO' slider as required. If you are using secure pages as an intranet for your organization and your team can login using their SSO credentials this should be set to 'Yes'. If your secure pages are intended for access by members outside your organization this can be set to 'No'. Note that to use the SSO login options users must be added to your site through the user management portal
12. The login form will have a username and password field, but you can add additional details such as a heading, secondary heading, introduction text and a button field
13. Click 'Submit' when you are finished
14. Select 'Save and Publish' to activate the login form
