1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In last video, we fixed one of the user interface issues that we had with the

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
people who are logging into this Web site.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So now when you scroll down at the bottom of the screen, and you click the

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Login button, and you log in to the Web site, let's say Joe, with a Password of 123456,

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
you're logged in, and you have a nice little Log out button located over here on

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
the side, which will stay with you throughout the Web site.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
But the flip side is, once you log in to the Web site, you wind up on this page,

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
and then you have to go to the For Distributors link up here on the top.

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Wouldn't it be nice if the For Distributors link just happened to come up

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
while you were logged in?

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Well, that's actually completely possible.

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
You just have to configure it.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go here to the For Distributors page,

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
and I'm going to go up here to the top of my screen, and I'm going to copy the

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
URL that happens to appear there right now;

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
so Ctrl or Command+C to copy that URL.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Now, we are working locally on our computer that's here in front of us.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
This URL is going to change after we launch this Web site,

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
and so what that means is, when we launch the Web site, as part of our testing

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
process, and we log in, we're going to need to make sure that we remember to

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
change this URL after we've launched this Web site on a Web host.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
I'll show you how to do that in our Web hosting video that will be coming

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
later in the course,

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
but don't forget that this is something that you're going to have to do. All right.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
So, I've copied the URL,

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
and now I'm just going to go ahead and log out of the Web site.

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I'm going to come to the back-end of the Web site.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to find my menu item for the login.

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So under Menus, that's in the Footer Menu, here is my Login link.

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
I'm going to click on that, and here inside of this Login, under Advanced

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Options, I have some additional things that I can set;

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
most notably, my Login Redirect.

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So, once you've logged in to the Web site, where should people be redirected to?

34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Well, they should be redirected to the distributor's page.

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So I'm going to Ctrl or Command+V to paste this URL right here into this blank.

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
There are some other things that I can configure here.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
For example, I can show a login description; something like Welcome

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:25,000
distributors! Log in to see your special area of our website, and that text will

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
show up on top of that login on the Web page.

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I can also specify a Login Image.

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
I can also change the way the redirect is happening for logout.

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
So, when you log out of the Web site, where are you going to go?

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
But remember, this interface here for Logout Redirect assumes that you've

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
scrolled to the bottom of the page, clicked on the word Login in order for this

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
redirect information to occur.

46
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
If you want to change the redirect information associated with the Log out

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
button that we just created, that will be in the module.

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
These have very similar screens with the module.

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
You'll have to go there, and configure that to go to a different screen on log out.

50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And if you're going to configure the log out, you should probably configure

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
both this one, and the module, just to make sure that they're both going to the

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
same places, and that you have the same behavior no matter which log out button you click.

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
But for right now, I'm just worried about the Login, and there is only one way

54
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
to log in, and that is through the Login link down at the bottom of the screen.

55
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
So I'm going to go ahead and say Save & Close.

56
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And now when I go back to front-end of my Web site, I am just going to scroll on

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
down, and click on my Login link one more time.

58
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
So you see here that I have my text that appears here at the top; Welcome

59
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
distributors! Log in to see your special area of the website.

60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
So, that's additional text you can put there.

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
And when I log in as Joe, 123456, and Login, I'm immediately directed to the

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
For Distributors page.

63
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Isn't that awesome?

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I don't have to see that information about modifying my account anymore, and I

65
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
see my For Distributors link at the top of the page. Oh!

66
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
But I don't see my editing my account information anymore. Oh no!

67
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
What if you do want to still offer the option of editing your

68
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
account information?

69
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Well, you can add that link to your menu bar,

70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
and that is a very straightforward thing to do as well.

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
So all I need to do now is if I go to Menus, and I go to my English menu; I'm

72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
going to add a new menu item.

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And my Menu Item Type, when I click the Select button, under the User Manager, will

74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
be at Edit User Profile.

75
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And that will still give me the interface, so that Joe would be able to go in,

76
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
and change his Password for sure; change his User Name if I'm permitting that.

77
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,000
We'll give this a title of Edit your profile, and I can put this at the root

78
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
of the Web site, at the same level as For Distributors, or I could make it

79
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
sub-navigation. I'm just going to leave it up there at the top of the page,

80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
and be sure to set my Language to English, and be sure to set the Access to Registered;

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
very, very important.

82
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And if I go ahead and say Save & Close, now when I come back to the front-end of

83
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
the Web site, and I refresh, I'm still logged in,

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I have a link here to edit my profile.

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
When I click that, I can see my profile information.

86
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
I can change my Password, change my Email Address, and make these other updates

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
that are very important.

88
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And so that might be a good thing to do,

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
if you're going to improve the user experience, so that you can't edit your

90
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,000
profile the moment that you log in, you wind up going to a specific page on the

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Web site, I think that that's an improvement, then you should definitely still

92
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
provide a way that people can edit their profile.

93
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Otherwise, you're going to be bombarded with requests that say, well, my e-mail

94
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
address has changed, or I need to change my password, and you're the one who is

95
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
going to have to do all of that stuff.

96
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
So by providing this Edit your profile link, you're allowing your users to go

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
ahead and make those changes and you're reducing your own workload. Just fewer

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
things you have to do to maintain this Web site.
