Registration page [message #1840539]

Good day,

I would like to have a registration page that is accessible with the /register URL.

I have tried to create RegisterRequestHandler which reads the Pac4J session data to prepopulate the form with userName, firstName, lastName and so forth.

The problem I am faced with, is that I do not know how to activate the PersonForm on the Desktop.

I have tried the following with and without a RunContext.

PersonForm form = new PersonForm();
 Desktop.CURRENT.get().activateForm(form);

Is there other mechanism to get this to work?

Kind regards,
Mark Ashworth

Hi Mark

You could work with deep-link handlers. Check the interface IDeepLinkHandler and the OutlineDeepLinkHandler as an example. These handlers are built to do something in the Scout model when a certain URL-pattern is called. The handler for the outlines activates the correct outline in the Scout model for instance when this URL is called:

/contacts/?dl=outline-22561&i=search

You could do something like that for your registration page, implement a RegistrationDeepLinkHandler and call it like this:

/contacts/?dl=registration

The typical code to open a form, depends on whether you want to open a modal dialog or a view, but usually you simply use the start() method of the form, which handles all the details with the desktop:

PersonForm form = new PersonForm();
form.setHandler(form.new RegistrationHandler());
form.start();

Cheers,
André
