User authentication
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Is it possible to use this module with a more robust authentication system? For instance for crowdsourcing projects, checking that the email exists and gathering genuine information about the user?
Off hand, not that I know of. Perhaps there are some third-party modules that enable these features?
I'm looking into the Guest module, when I manage to install it I hope I'll be able to do what I need.
One solution is to create Omeka S user accounts for the users and track them that way. If a user is logged in while using Collecting, any contributed item is owned by that user.
Great, and yes, the Guest module should be able to help me achieve that.
Is there a way of telling Collecting to only work/show if a (guest) user is logged-in?
No, but you could not add the collecting form to navigation and give users with accounts a direct link.
Excellent. I'll play around with it tomorrow and will confirm it's doing what I want to achieve.
No, but you could not add the collecting form to navigation and give users with accounts a direct link.
In this respect (and I realise this is off-topic): is it possible to show an extra menu item only for logged-in users?
It may be possible if you modify the theme directly. But this is beyond the scope of this module.
Thank you. But is it at least posible to add an option 'prevent not-logged-in users to submit form' to this module? A 'require registration' sort of thing.
