Custom Login and Logout Page

To make activeCollab easily accessible to your team and clients, it is possible to set up a custom login form to match your website. You can also set the page where the users will be redirected after logging out.

Custom Login Page #

If you wish to provide a Custom Login Form (from your website or any other web page) you can do that by creating a form that submits a POST request to the login page with the following fields:

  • login[email]
  • login[password]
  • login[remember]
  • login[interface]

and following the hidden fields:

  • submitted with value submitted
  • external_login with value 1

Here is a simple form that you can use to enable logging in from another web page:

<form action="http://domain.com/path/to/activecollab/public/index.php?path_info=login" method="post">
Email: <input type="text" name="login[email]"/><br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="login[password]"/><br/>
Remember me: <input type="checkbox" name="login[remember]"/><br/>
<input type="hidden" name="login[interface]" value="default"/>
<input type="hidden" name="external_login" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="submitted"/>
<input type="submit" value="Login"/>
</form>

Logout Redirection #

After users finish their work and log out of activeCollab, you can redirect them to a specified page on your website. To enable this, please follow these steps:

1

Visit Administration and click the General Settings button.

2

Enable the option When User Logs Out: redirect them to a custom URL.

3

Set the URL that you wish to redirect your users to.

Can I apply this setup on my Cloud account?

Unfortunately, it is not possible. Embedding the login screen and redirection to a specified page after logging out is available for self-hosted version users only.
