Thanks mikecron, it did help me!

Topic: Embed Username + Password Fields in my own site

Hope no one minds me resurrecting an old thread, but I thought I’d post for anyone doing a search later, as the instructions linked above seem to be lost:

To get a Basecamp login on your own site, all you have to do is copy the form from the source of the basecamp login page from your account. Paste it into your own web page, and update the URLs found in there to match the one you’re using for your account (https://yourdomain.projectpath.com, for example). The HTTPS is important, otherwise you’ll end up at your traditional login screen with a username/password error.

Hope that’s helpful to someone else!

I notice that the instructions for creating a custom login page are no longer accessible.
Is this no longer something that 37S recommends?

Topic: Polls

The biggest issue with polls is lack of responses. If the polling feature has the ability to show the current results as soon as someone completes a poll, this may actually encourage team members to respond to a poll. Hence a polling feature with an ability to immediatrely show the current results would be a wonderful feature. In fact we evaluating Basecamp against another product, lack of polling feature seems to be the only major drawback of Basecamp.

Be sure that you are posting to https: and not http:. We changed the login system to be SSL-secured, so you’ll need to make sure that when your form submits, it goes to a secure URL.

I’ve taken the html exactly as instructed and I’m getting the same problem I reported before. Putting in the right username and password just gets me an error The username and/or password you entered is invalid and I’m directed to the /login page of course. If I enter exactly the same username and password there, I get in.

Nick – does it still work for you?

Here it is

Now to see if it works.

I have it on my site. I just followed the instructions on everything basecamp.

Scott – I imagine the problems are due to the new SSL encryption on all login screens.

For now, you could simply put a link through from your homepage to the BC login, just to get it going.

Topic: Embed Username + Password Fields in my own site

Does anyone have any experience adding the actual Basecamp username and password fields to their own site? I’d like my clients tobe able to get to their own work from my homepage. There was once a post that had a string of code that supposedly provided this capability, but two web designers later, that has not worked. Please advise if you have successfully added this entry boxes to your own site. Thanks!

Or, you could just post that as a message, and have everyone comment w/ a “Yes” or “No”, or “1”, “2”, “3”. Personally, I think a polling feature would be additional clutter.

Yes, Jason, it is a wonderful service … if you want detailed feedback. But what about that last PDF we sent to our team of 10 creatives? I want them to be able to quickly weigh in and visualize their responses … Sure, comments work … but they aren’t the fastest way to visualize are they?

Could be as simple as a formatting option

:Poll
* This is great, but read my comment
* Option Two
* Option Three

Fun polling times! We would use it, but it wouldn’t be an every day kind of feature.

We recommend SurveyMonkey for polls. It’s a wonderful service.

Would not need to be its own thing – could just add Polling to the Message section
