Setting up e-mail login on webpage

[jollygreengiant]

How is this done? I have looked for tutorials and posts on it and couldnt find it in my welcome mail. I wanted to be able to set up an e-mail login on my webpage for users to log in to webmail from. Can this be done? and how?

Yes, it can be done, heres the info you will need.

Set the action to: "http://www.yoursite.com:2095/login" (I beleive that is the correct link, its been a couple years since I have made one of these forms, so I don't have a copy to check on anymore).

You will need two fields for the form, the username and password

Set the name for the username field to "user"
Set the name for the password field to "pass"

So the html should be like...

<form action="http://www.yoursite.com:2095/login" method="POST">
Username: <input type="text" name="user" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="pass" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>

Hope that helps

When you create a form there is a "action". It is where the form goes when you submit it.

If you are using bluevoda right click on the form and its one of the buttons at the bottom. Someone who uses BV might come along and tell you exactly how to edit the form action.

Simply create a link from one of your pages, to http://www.yoursite.com/webmail

Then the user will be asked to provide his email address and his password

This worked for me. However, is there a way to make it go directly to the webmail without clicking horde, then clicking login again?

Hi, I tried Wadaflip's method, but 1. it would not accept "pass" as password.
Also, I assume you meant that one should enter that address ...2095/login, which is what I did.

Re: Setting up e-mail login on webpage

best thing you do, use xoops CMS and use webmailfx. you would love .its not the best one but ok, better then horde.i can't find and CMS where you can use webmail like stuff,there are some webmails on Drupal but nothing for current version.
i am planning to get email hosting or if someone can make a software for me to check email like yahho or msn.
i mean to integrate webmail/horde with website.
hope it will help.i tried so many things on horde nothing worked.
