Using shortcode two times problem

    Hi,

    So on my site I would have on top right a Login button where a modal box pops up and with sections for registering and login. I use ajax_login and ajax_register in that modal box. That works all good and stuff.

    But I also have 2 pages for registration and login which include the same 2 shortcodes. However, if let’s say the person goes to the registration page and clicks on top right login button to login or register via there and it pops up a modalbox which have a login/register, it won’t display the registration form because the registration form is already loaded on the registration page, but the login form in the modalbox is present.

    Same would happen if a person goes to the login page and clicks on the login button to pop up the modalbox, he would be able to see the registration form but not the login form. Any idea why this is happening?

    You can replicate the same thing just by adding [ajax_register] or [ajax_login] two times on a page. it will only load 1 register form and/or 1 loginform, and not 2. However this isn’t so handy since i use a modalbox that is present on the entire site. Any idea how to get this fixed?

    I’ve sent you guys an e-mail today with my site’s address in it so you can always go to it and see for yourself if my story is a little confusing.

    John,

    You don’t need to use the shortcode twice in a page if your intention is solely to use the modal boxes.

    If you want to simply use the modal boxes, do this:

        Delete the [ajax_login] or [ajax_register] shortcodes from any pages or posts.
        Under advance usage, you can set up the modal boxes by creating a registration and/or login handle. Meaning, create your own unique css class for the login or registration pop up window.

        We give the sample of .register-link and .login-link, but you can use .register-dialog or .login-dialog for testing purposes.

        Finally, if you want to see the dialogs as menu item add the login/register modals to existing menu. Go to Appearance—Menus and follow directions below

      Use these values:
      url: # (you can even put a / here as WordPress wants some value)
      Navigation label: Login
      CSS Class: login-dialog (this should be as you indicated in your advance usage)
      Save

      add another one for registration (if you want, meaning you don’t need to have two menu options)
      url: #
      Navigation label: Register
      CSS Class: register-dialog

    Be sure to allow “Anyone can register” under your regular settings.

    Here is another tutorial Zane put on our blog. I hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Well I took that route, I know about your plugin for a long time and I have used the handlers and all that and they work all nicely.

    Just that the problem is that when a person enters the wrong information during login, he doesn’t really get a message that says that it’s wrong. There’s simply nothing being displayed except if it’s the right login details and I remember this problem being there the first time I used this plugin which is like almost a year ago. So not sure, could you guys give me a fix for that login issue?

    Hi,

    Thanks for using the plugin, glad you’ve been able to use it for a long time (and hopefully longer 😉

    I do remember the issue, and I’ve re-opened it. I can see how this can be a problem, as I’ve never tested it with that exact set-up.

    Considering a fix is found this would be available in the next update, which may be out in the next few weeks. Currently we’re updating the Pro version with a few security features.

    Again, thanks for sharing and brining this to our attention.

    Ah ok, what if I purchase the Pro version right now, would you guys be able to code that feature in for me?

    Hi John,

    This is an issue in both versions, and I’m fixing it in the free and Pro version. Currently I have a few releases scheduled for this week. So expect an update then.
