Hello,

Quick question, does Simplex need to install the S5box extension for the Login to work?  I've tried making it work without S5box and also with S5box, it doesnt seem like the Login link goes anywhere.  Where or how would I go about setting it up?

(this is for making a customer sign in)

Hello,

If you don't use the S5 box you would need to set the link up as a URL redirect to a different page. This would be beneficial if you wanted to include a form of Captcha that isn't supported in the S5 Box. The way its coded is its designed to appear in the S5 box popup.

Make sure the vertex.json CHMOD settings on the server are set to 777 then try again.

Also, try a different browser such as Firefox to see if the issue still occurs.

Hello,

I would contact your hosting company if you have already verified that the vertex.json is set to 777 and tried all other browsers. It might be a permissions setting on the server they have to fix. Just tell them that you are using the Joomla! CMS and it isn't saving any changes in the backend to the server.

Hi Mike,

I got in touch with our web hosting company (Midphase) and they turned on allow_url_fopen to attempt to solve the problem, but ultimately the fields still couldn't save.  So they said to contact you and further investigate the template. 

I've tried replacing the Vertex folder with the original downloaded folder, but the fields still won't save.  I have added modules and such in Index.php in the past so I switched it out with the original to see if anything would change, but still the same.

This is really an issue with the hosting or Joomla server permissions but if you PM me the FTP and Joomla credentials I can take a look for you.

Hello Mike,

So I finally come back to the login issue.  Now that vertex.json is resolved and works, the login button still doesnt show anything.  I assigned a login form to the login module of simplex, also tried to assign custom url to the login from vertex framework, but neither made the button clickable.  Am I missing a step to make the login button work?

Hello.

The login button activates the S5 Box popup that loads the "login" position within that popup box. So you need to make sure the login position is published on all pages and the S5 Box is also on all pages. The S5 Box should be loaded in the debug position.

Hi Mike,

In short, I just want the sign in button to link to a different web page because the login is for a separate program on a different website.  But its not working from vertex.json even though the file saves the link correctly.

At this point I want to prioritize linking to a different website because i need to get it working asap. 

But I still want to figure out what went wrong with the s5box setup so if i need it in the future, I would know how to activate it.  When i tried to use the S5 Box it didnt work.
I placed the positions in XML,
the classes in index.php,
published s5box on all pages debug,
published login to login module on all pages.

Ok, I resolved the linkingt by putting a little code in index.php to direct the Sign In button to a different website.
