What are we building

Your company wants to provide a few

whitepapers covering important developments.

They do not want to give these away freely and

want to track who is downloading them.

So, they decided to have the visitors register firstand then log into the site to download.


3/26

A possible approach

Create a form with required data.

As soon as the user enters the data, store that in a database.

Store these values in a local variable.

Construct a customized mail using the local variables and send.

Registration process


4/26

A possible approach

Login process

Provide a login form.

Check DB to match user name and password input by the user.

If the login is successful, send them to the download page.

If they click on forgot password, send them to a page with a form where they can

provide their email ID.

Check the corresponding password for the email ID and send that as a mail to thatemail address.


5/26

Ready, steady, go

Login to your Celeroo Builder account.

Use the hot key on the right hand

side to quickly create app Registration.


6/26

Adding user types

Celeroo Builder greatly

simplifies user creation,authentication and permissions.

For this project ignore the other

features there and move to Build

pages.

We need to differentiate some

users as Registered users.

So, let us create a user type

called registered users. We

do this in Reqn Spec module.


7/26

Build Pages

Click Build Pages Design Pages.

Add a new module registration and a new page regform.

For the time being, ignore the other features on this page.


8/26

The Work Area and The Block

As soon as a page is created, a workarea is created for that page.

In any work area, you will first design

a block.

Block is a collection of elements that

perform a single action. For example, a

page with Header, Footer and a Form hasthree blocks.

You can drag a block to change its size

and after creating multiple blocks can be

moved around in the work area.

You need a bit of practice to move andorder the blocks. Use the Float and

Clear properties to lay the blocks and

elements as needed. More help on these

properties is available in Build Pages.


9/26

Assign properties to the block

Open the properties popup by right-clicking the Block.

Name is mandatory and you can define the size here too.

Set Block Type property.

As this is a registration form, select Inputs New Data.

This enables you to create a new table or insert data into an existing table.

Elements in a block

After a block isdefined, you can addany content to theblock.

Elements can beadded using the iconor a hot key.

Celeroo Builderenables you to add avariety of elements.


11/26

Element properties

Celeroo Builder enables you to add a lot of properties just with a few clicks.

Some of the things that you can quickly create include Size, Input type

(text, email, password etc.), allowed input (text, numbers, etc.), and whether it is a

mandatory Field, etc.

You can define the corresponding label and assign it a class.

12/26

Completing the form

Add all the fields as shown above and define their properties.

There is no need to add Submit button for Forms. Celeroo Builder

automatically creates the Submit button and the logic for adding the

submitted data to the DB .


13/26

Sending a mail after registration

As soon as the data is inserted, you need to send a mail thanking the user for

registering with you.

You do this by defining a logic called Send Mail in Build Logic. There are two

steps here.

First you need to retrieve the data of the userfrom the DB and then send a mail.

You use Search and Retrieve logic for getting the data.


14/26

Search and retrieve

Select a table, select

the required fields and

click on Add.

If you want most fields

in the table, select all

and delete what

you do not need.

Then click on the +

sign to add a condition


15/26

Search and retrieve

The purpose of the

condition is to identifythat record whose ID

is equal to the last id

added in the DB.

The last_id is

selected because this

will be the ID of the

user who justregistered and who

now needs to be sent

a mail.

Note how the

condition is added


16/26

Assign the value to a variable

You can add a redundant filter to fetch only 1 record.

Once you retrieve that record you need to store those values into a variable. As this

record is needed only for the page that sends the email, store it as local variable and

give it a name.


17/26

Send a confirmation mail

To the same rule, add a newsub-rule.

Using the list of local

Variables, compose a

mail.


18/26

That completes the Registration logic

Why dont you review the last five slides again to understand the flow


19/26

The login logic

In Celeroo Builder, you do not need to write user authorization logic.

Just select from a few dropdowns and it automatically creates the

login logic.


20/26

Forgot Password page

Forgot Password is not a data input type block. This block needs to verify a

business rule and take an action based on that. Hence, select the relevant

block type Web form calls business logic.

After creating the block, create an email field as in the registration form.

Remember the name you gave to the email field.


21/26

Forgot password

c

This time you need

to retrieve therecord from the

table where the

email matches the

email entered by

the user in the

forgot password

box.

c

Notice how the condition

is written

Rest of the search and retrieve issame as before (select a table,

select fields and select only one

record that matches this condition,

and assign the values

to a local variable.

Then write a send mail rule as

before.


22/26

Assigning rules

Now that you created

multiple rules, you

need to assign them

to the relevant

blocks.

You can do that

easily from

Browse/Assign

Rules.


23/26

Assigning rules

Authorize Registered Userand Require Registered User authorization are

created by the system for the login pages. You need not do anything about them.

Rest of the rules must appear as shown above after you complete the selections.
