Creating a website with user registration feature

[winsenthil]

Hi…
I need to create a website with login form, blogs, forums etc.. I proceeded with community edition 3.3g.

By using share, I had created a site which has blog, forums as default… I found we can connect our share(site) with our active directories to login using our network account (that's for existing users). I dont need that..

I need to create a website with login form (say, first user must register their details, it will be stored in some database and then they have to login, to view the complete website which will have forums, blogs, etc..)

How can I do that??? Does share or web client provide this feature? or do I need to do proceed with any other forms or AWE. Will authentication web scripts give me a solution for this…

can anyone suggest me a solution….
Thanks in advance.

Ok, so let me get this straight…

You want to allow new users to self-register for your Alfresco Share implementation?

Exactly..

I have to admit that I don't know how to modify any of the Alfresco/Share interfaces yet, but…

If I were going to take a stab at this without having any background experience, I would start by reading up on the JavaScript People API here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.3_JavaScript_API#People_API

I haven't played around with anything like this, but I imagine that you could use Web Scripts: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts

I would try to create a form separate from Alfresco that POSTs new user information to a Web Script, and then have the Web Script handle account creation from there.

Let me reiterate that I don't know if this will work, it's just a guess!!
