Direct login
Locked

I would like to have a static link that points directly to a login
page (i.e. http://mydomain.com/login). How can I make a url execute a command (in this case PRLogin) directly?

That works on an arbitrary Pier URL, not just on the root. You just have to add '?command=PULogin'. Or do I misunderstand your question?

For the Pier sites that I am deploying, I do not want there to be a login link on any of the pages. There is no functionality (like wiki pages) for normal users. Only two or three administrators have logins (i.e. >0.1% of people accessing the site). Since there is no login link, I need to be able to give them a URL to be able to login and I want to give them as simple a URL as possible. In fact, the URL right now is /site/login and I have been thinking about adding an Apache rewrite rule to have /login redirect to /site/login. Does that better explain what I am trying to accomplish? Now that I'm writing this email I realize that I could just use a rewrite rule to add '?command=PULogin'--which I might go ahead and do-- but it still seems to me that it would be useful to map an arbitrary URL to a command without the '?command=' and without having to resort to Apache rewrite rules. And while we are on the subject of commands and rewrite rules, I've noticed that commands post to '/' even if they are part of a longer URL (like mydomain.com/site/login). This behavior is slightly problematic given that the default page for one of my sites is not '/' and I have a rewrite rule to redirect '/' to that default page. I had to add a 'RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST' test to my rewrite rule. It would be nice if commands posted to the URL they were called from.

Yes, you could add a rewrite rule to do that. On my pages I usually use a hidden login link, so editors just have to press Ctrl+L to get to the login page (http://www.piercms.com/doc/shortcuts). If desired the login page can also be bookmarked. > Now that I'm writing this email I realize that I could just use a rewrite > rule to add '?command=PULogin'--which I might go ahead and do--but it still > seems to me that it would be useful to map an arbitrary URL to a command > without the '?command=' and without having to resort to Apache rewrite > rules. The difference between '?command=PULogin' and '/login' is minimal, but also makes other things more difficult. If commands look the same as pages, validation of page names becomes difficult and extensibility is at risk. > And while we are on the subject of commands and rewrite rules, I've noticed > that commands post to '/' even if they are part of a longer URL (like > mydomain.com/site/login).

I guess there is something wrong with your Seaside setup, that's not what is normally happening. You can check that on seaside.st for example.

Maybe I am not expressing myself very well. Perhaps I should just mess around in the code a bit and see what I can come up with. >> And while we are on the subject of commands and rewrite rules, I've >> noticed >> that commands post to '/' even if they are part of a longer URL (like >> mydomain.com/site/login).

(Maybe it has to do with setting Server Hostname and/or Server Path?)
