isn't there a proper tutorial with it ?
i mean, 70 bucks...

The standard login requires it to be on the login page, the one with form and form fields.
Handcoders submit the form to a page which checks and redirects to login ok or login fail page. The info needed is usually stored in your database, commonly used is a table Members with a Username and Password field that are checked, more advanced sites also require a Authentication level field for what a user can and cannot do on the site you're building.

A safe bet would be to apply it on your login form, if it's not correct usage then a good extension builder created a popup message with proper usage for the user or in this case... CUSTOMER.

With kind regards,

First of all brother, there is are help files which more or less gives you an idea where to put what. In your case you didn't make clear what do you want to do with this behaviour.
Ultra login 10 is to generate a random password and then mail it automatically to the user.

This SB does four things:
- Generate Random Password
- Email the password to the user via CDON NewMail
- Set Random Password To Session Var, and
- Redirect the User To Insert Page so the password can be inserted into the database.

So the user doesnot have to select a password rather it is generated automatically.

First of all create your recordset with members information regarding their password and other details.
Then make your insert page.
e-mail From: you have to write your e-mail
Password lenght: set to something 5,6 or 10 or whatever.
Redirect to insert page is your insert page.
I hope you know how to make the insert page.

What it does is it Set Random Password To Session Var, So in the insert page its already there.The user just has to put other details.

Be carefull before using the extension you have to know that if your provider or server supports cdon mail or asp mail or whatever.

I may say the help files provided are more or less no help for newcommers. They are just sort of hints.
Regards
