4.4 Generate HTML Forms

Next, you need to generate the needed HTML forms for your program, such as the new user signup form, and login form. To start, go to the Setup->Generate HTML Forms menu of the Admin Control Panel, and a list of three different forms to generate will appear.


4.4.1 Newuser HTML Form

This form allows the public to join from your self replicating web site. This form asks for their contact information, and once submitted, will automatically add them to the database, and create their self replicating web site.


4.4.2 Member's Only Area - Login Form

This form allows members to login to the Member's Only Area, by entering their username and password. You only need to generate this form, if you selected "HTML login form" for the authentication method, during First Time Setup.


4.4.3 Member's Only Area - Home Page

This page is used as an example, for the home page of the Member's Only Area, and contains links to all actions, which members can perform. By default, every Member's Only Area you create will start with this default page, so there's usually no need to generate this page.


4.4.4 HTML Results

Once you have selected the HTML form to generate, submit the form. The next page will contain the results of the generated form, which you can then copy and paste into a web page. Alternatively, you can have the results saved to a web page using the form located on the bottom of the results page.
