Can I do a registration form allowing users to login using their gmail or facebook id to login instead of making them use a password to create an account? I wanted to leave the password option only for those without the facebook or gmail login.
Also, can I do a registration form that would create a pending approval from the site manager or anyone with such authority to authorize/approve the request to create an account by the user, then a password and account ID is then released in a email to the new user welcoming them to use the site?
If that is possible how do I achieve this form?
Thanks

Hi, unfortunately Toolset isn't set up to integrate with other authentication systems to create User profiles. I think this would require a separate third-party tool.

Our Membership Site documentation describes a similar setup. It's not exactly what you described, but the experience is similar. For example, the password and login info are sent when the User registers, but the User's role is restricted so even if they log in before approval they won't have access to sensitive parts of the site. Then the Admin must modify their User role to "approve" their registration.

Thanks Christian that was helpful.
Now, if I have a premium plugin taking care of outer shell and internal protected content for various levels of roles and subscribers, is there any other attribute for toolset access usage in a membership site that host classified ads, education and agency platform in a synchronized platform? or should I just stick to views, archive template, and cred plugins from toolset platform and add some third party premium plugins to perform the protective functionality of it?
another question, can I use cred to perfom forms functionality that will not be public rather use it fin a educational content for class forums? or there is a Toolset way of doing it?
Thanks

I don't really understand the question. It sounds like you're asking if there is any reason to use Toolset Access if you have another plugin taking care of content restriction. If that's what you're asking, then the answer is "no" if the 3rd-party content restriction system does everything you need.

It depends on how you have set up the public vs private restrictions. Are you talking about using the Privately Published post status so posts are only accessible by their authors? Forms can be configured to publish privately. If you're talking about some other system of content restriction, it depends. Forms simply creates and edits posts of some type. You can specify custom field values, set taxonomy terms, and modify the post status as well. But Forms does not have anything to do with private / public access (other than the private post status already mentioned). It works independent of other restriction systems to simply create or edit post content and metadata. If you want to restrict access to the Form itself, you can manage the page or post containing the Form with your 3rd-party system. If you want to restrict access to the posts created or edited by the Form, then you can use the private post status or you can use a 3rd-party tool to restrict access to those posts. I can't tell you how that would work because it's a separate system.
Thanks Christian for the help.
I have another question in this arena of forms and registration
I am creating a educational website where I will have instructors signing up and students signing up. Is it possible to make a form using CRED where two different registration forms are created. One in the page for instructors and another one in the page for students. It will be under the same website. Can that be done? so this way I can use the form to send different notifications to different people. for the instructors there will be an office assistant to handle and for the students, they will be sent to the dean to handle.
Thanks
You can create two different Forms for this purpose. One Form for instructors, and another Form for students. This should help you manage notifications more effectively, and display different input fields for different User types if needed.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
