Login window customisation, Do not allow signup?

[gazzer82]

I am using the latest dev build in my iOS app, and i would like to restrict the ability for users to sign up and only allow login, before i start hacking into the code, is there a way to do this that's built in?

I would also like to customise the colour of the login window text, again, is this possible using anything built in, or do i need to modify the code?

Was hoping i could do it using delete methods so i don't have to re-do the mods every time i update the framework.

Thanks

Hello @gazzer82,

You can fully customize the screens by subclassing SPAuthenticationViewController.h, and mapping the authenticationViewControllerClass / authenticationWindowControllerClass properties to your own subclass (see: https://github.com/Simperium/simperium-ios/blob/develop/Simperium/Simperium.h#L189).

There, you should be able to override the behavior in any required way.

Please, let me know if i can further assist you with anything related!

Hi @jleandroperez i will look into this, makes sense.

Where is the logic that decides whether to display the login or signup view to the user located?

Thanks

@gazzer82 the entire sign-in vs sign-up logic is handled by means of the 'signingIn' property (Ref: https://github.com/Simperium/simperium-ios/blob/develop/Simperium/SPAuthenticationViewController.h#L27)

You could potentially hack the setter, so it's always stuck in 'Sign In Mode' (See: https://github.com/Simperium/simperium-ios/blob/develop/Simperium/SPAuthenticationViewController.m#L76).

Plus, hiding the 'Change' button, so there is no signup-toggle option (Ref.: https://github.com/Simperium/simperium-ios/blob/develop/Simperium/SPAuthenticationViewController.m#L169)

Those changes feel a bit hacky, but i'd say it's the super quickest way to nuke Signup.

Hi @jleandroperez i have managed to "hack" the flow to enable this, but yes, i think some sort of delegate method to set these sort of things might be useful in the future?

@gazzer82 although the only way to customize the auth screens is subclassing (for now) we definitely plan to add several options, so this could be easily solved by flipping a couple flags.

Ref. Issue #162

Let's add this requirement there!
