Goto link for password assistance and account registration

Duplicate of Permanent Link to Pages Accessible from Login Page

1 Initial Problem

A common requirement of customers who wish to loosely integrate ILIAS into their website / service landscape is to "borrow" the ILIAS-login box.

This works nicely, except for the service links:

• New Account Registration
• Forgot password?
• Forgot username?

2 Conceptual Summary

Extend the currently available GOTO-link mechanism to support static URLs for the pages listed above.
 
Examples:

• goto.php?client=Foo&target=usr_0_reg
• goto.php?client=Foo&target=usr_0_nameass
• goto.php?client=Foo&target=usr_0_pwass

3.1 List of Affected Views

7 Discussion

Alex Killing, 7 May 2013: I support this as a usability improvement for 4.4. The main scenario is to support links from external web pages to these ILIAS screens. This is possible already, however due to the ilCtrl parameters the URL may change with every minor update.

Special JF, 08 May 2013: We highly appreciate these new goto links and schedule them as usability fixes for 4.4. Isn't it necessary to implement a goto-link to the user agreement as well?

Matthias Kunkel, 09 Apr 2015: There is a similar request from 2010 called Go to Password Assistance. Like the current request it did not made it yet into the trunk... Hope to find some funding one day...

Kiegel, Colin [kiegel] 2016-12-21: Updated the request to the new format.

Amstutz, Timon [amstutz] 2016-12-29: This request has already been accepted (see above). Why is it scheduled for discussion again?

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], Jan 09, 2017: Highly appreciated and scheduled for 5.3. We recommend to use the following link targets:

• goto.php?client=Foo&target=usr_registration
• goto.php?client=Foo&target=usr_nameassist
• goto.php?client=Foo&target=usr_pwassist

8 Implementation

Implemented as described/shown above.
