mod_login Modification hide/show link

[pgruhn]

The mod_login username & password box is ugly. And one of my clients didn't want it shown, but to be able to link to it So I made a modifcation to the default.php as follows Works cleaning to hide & display the login box, there may be a better way to do this, but this one worked for me ... you can see it at http://www.oldhamstudios.com/site click the "login" link

I just wanted to offer something to the group since folks here have helped me in many ways.

Thanks,

Works Great!

Spent Hours Looking For Something Like This

You can do this :
Go to Menus item
choose a menu type (Top menu for example)
click Add to add a menu link
Choose Internal Link > User > Connexion > Default Login Layout
...

It will add in the menu a link to a new page with the login box.

NB : Joomla 1.5

The last suggestion to create a menu item worked great!

Take a look at Beez and you will see an example of using layout overrides. This allows you to do something similar, but you don't have to hack the core files. You can provide a new file in your template and then you are resistant as well to changes in the core code base.

That being said, you can also just use CSS to style the module.

There are lots of options, and by no means do you have to have the module on your home page anyway.
