Hi, I’ve been going over this for a while now without much success. For some reason, this tag keeps telling me my syntax is incorrect. I’ve been using the tag example from the docs, but when I load the template it’s in, I’m told the syntax is wrong. I’m not really sure what to try, as I’m kind of new to ee. Any push in the right direction would be hugely appreciated.

My code from documentation:

{exp:member:login_form return="site/index"}

<label>Username</label>

<input type="text" name="username" value="" maxlength="32" class="input" size="25" /></p>

<label>Password</label>

<input type="password" name="password" value="" maxlength="32" class="input" size="25" /></p>

{if auto_login}
<input class='checkbox' type='checkbox' name='auto_login' value='1' /> Auto-login on future visits
{/if}

<input class='checkbox' type='checkbox' name='anon' value='1' checked='checked' /> Show my name in the online users list

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></p>

<a href="http://{path=member/forgot_password}">Forgot your password?</a>

{/exp:member:login_form}

The error:

Error

The following tag has a syntax error:

{exp:member:login_form}

Please correct the syntax in your template.

It looks like the member module is missing? You are not trying this with EE Core, by any chance? Take a look at the CP footer to make sure.

ahhh weird. I have entered the product key… But it still says the eecore message. How can I be sure I’ve registered the product properly? I sent the key to Lisa Wess, which is why I’m posting here (At her request)... All I need to do is enter it in the field under general preferences, correct?

No, you actually need to re-download a fresh set of files to get the missing modules. There are instructions in the docs for upgrading from Core.

haha, no way. That’s ridiculous that I missed that… Thanks for being so fast. I think you just saved me another hour or so of goofing around. Incredible.

I can’t get over how fast the support is on this forum. Thank you!

Glad it was an easy one 😊 Let’s call this one “Resolved”, but please don’t hesitate to post again in case you run into any more problems.
