Login And Registration
The Forum ☛ Components ☛ Login And Registration administration panel is where you can configure your User Login and Registration options. You can control whether you want to show the Login and Register links, whether the Login forum is displayed in-line or on another page and how the Login page is style (SPF style or WordPress style). You can also optionally set redirection of the Login/Logout/Registration pages.
Member Login
Show Login/Logout Links
This option enables you to hide the login button from the forum pages. This is most useful if your site already displays these items elsewhere, such as on a sidebar.
Use In-line Login Form
The quickest login form drops down from the login bar at the top of the forum. However, if you have skinned your login forms or use a custom login plugin, you may prefer to turn this off and force the built in forms.
Skin Login Forms
The forum will remove the ‘WordPress’ badge replacing with a generic forum image if this option is turned on.
User Registration
Show Regsitration Links
This option enables you to hide the registration button from the forum pages. This is most useful if your site already displays these items elsewhere, such as on a sidebar.
Spam Detection
Simple:Press Forum can use the effective ‘math question’ query to prevent spam posts being made automatically. This option is set up in the User Group Permissions. However, the same tool can also be used on the user registration form to help counter bogus registrations which are a general nuisance. Please note that if this feature is invoked it applies to both Simple:Press Forum’s registration form and the standard WordPress form.
Login Strip Display
You can optionally show the current members avatar beside their name and last visited date.
Login/Registration URLs
These are the URLs that will be used by the forum to handle Login/Logout, New User Registration and Lost Password.
Some users prefer a different redirect or do not wish to return to the forum after one of these actions and can alter the URLs to suit their own requirements.
RPX 3rd Party Login
Using the RPX Web Services you can allow users to use third party sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, OpenID, etc login credentials to access your site. To utilize these services, you must have an RPX Web Services Account. This account is free and will allow your users to access your site utilizing existing credentials. To utilize the service, after creating an RPX account, please enter the RPX API key to begin utilizing their service.
URL to Redirect to after RPX Login 
Force a redirect to a specific page after RPX login. Leave blank to have Simple:Press/RPX determine redirect location.
Sneak Peek Statement
If you are using the ‘Can view forum and topic lists only’ permission for guests or users, they will only be able to see the Group View (list of groups and forums) and Forum View (list of topics in a forum) and not any actual Posts. This message is a customizable message that can be displayed to these guests and/or users when they try to view a Post. If that permission is not being used, this message will never appear.
Admin View Statement
If you are inhibiting User Groups from seeing Admin posts, this message is displayed to encourage them to sign up.
