Author Login
A login event + $author-id parameter
Description
Synopsis
This extension repackages the Login Info event as an extension and adds an $author-id parameter to the parameter pool.
Please note that this extension is no longer necessary as of Symphony 2.3. According to Brendan Abbott (@brendo) in his comment in the thread Exception after upgrading: 'Could not find Event':
Login event from the 2.2.5 /workspace was replaced with Logged In Author event.
You'll find in the README for the Symphony Default Workspace the following information:
If you are updating your default workspace to 2.3, please note that you will need to remove the
Loginevent from your pages and instead attach the the Logged In Author datasource.
So, as of Symphony 2.3, this extension has been deprecated in favour of using the Logged in Author data source.
Installation
Information about installing and updating extensions can be found in the Symphony documentation at http://www.getsymphony.com/learn/.
Usage
This extension adds an $author-id page parameter that can be used to filter data sources. It also provides an Author Login event that can be attached to pages to provide login info for logged in authors.

Acknowledgements
The credit for this extension goes to Alistair Kearney for the original event on which this extension was based. I merely repackaged the Login Info event as an extension in order to add an $author-id parameter to the parameter pool.
