The document discusses user registration and login functionality in Ring. It describes classes for users (Model, View & Controller), form views for registration and login, and code to handle registration, login, and checking authentication. It also summarizes classes for database access (Database), model objects (ModelBase), and controllers (ControllerBase).

1. Ring Documentation, Release 1.2
41.21 Users registration and Login
We have the users classes (Model, View & Controller) to deal with the users data like username & email.
The next code is stored in ex25_users.ring
Class UsersModel from ModelBase
cSearchColumn = "username"
Class UsersController From ControllerBase
41.21. Users registration and Login 290

2. Ring Documentation, Release 1.2
aColumnsNames = ["id","username","email"]
Func UpdateRecord
oModel.id = aPageVars[cRecID]
oModel.updatecolumn("username", aPageVars[:username] )
oModel.updatecolumn("email", aPageVars[:email] )
oView.UpdateView(self)
Class UsersView from ViewBase
oLanguage = new UsersLanguageEnglish
Func AddFuncScript oPage,oController
return oPage.scriptfunc("myadd",oPage.scriptredirection("ex26.ring"))
Func FormViewContent oController,oTranslation,oPage
return [
[oTranslation.aColumnsTitles[2],"textbox","username",
oController.oModel.UserName,oPage.stylewidth("100%")],
[oTranslation.aColumnsTitles[3],"textbox","email",
oController.oModel.Email,oPage.stylewidth("50%")]
]
Class UsersLanguageEnglish
cTitle = "Users Table"
cBack = "back"
aColumnsTitles = ["ID","User Name","Email"]
cOptions = "Options"
cSearch = "Search"
comboitems = ["Select Option...","Edit","Delete"]
cAddRecord = "Add Record"
cEditRecord = "Edit Record"
cRecordDeleted = "Record Deleted!"
aMovePages = ["First","Prev","Next","Last"]
cPage = "Page"
cOf = "of"
cRecordsCount = "Records Count"
cSave = "Save"
temp = new page
cTextAlign = temp.StyleTextRight()
cNoRecords = "No records!"
In the file ex25.ring we load ex25_users.ring then create an object from UsersController class.
Using the created object, we call the routing method.
#!c:ringbinring.exe -cgi
Load "weblib.ring"
Load "datalib.ring"
Load "ex25_users.ring"
Import System.Web
website = "ex25.ring"
New UsersController { Routing() }
