Please describe your problem. I created a new PHPbb for a private forum. I want to set it up so that when people 1st arrive at my forum, they see absolutely nothing but a (black) screen with the Username & Password login boxes.
This is so visitors cannot see anything about my forum at all, not even the name and description. Then, only after they log in with a user name & password, do they see the forum at all with the Prosilver (Dark Edition) template, forum name, topics, etc.
Is this possible to do? Again, it's a private forum for people I want to help me with my project so I don't want visitors to see anything at all until they have logged in. How can I do this?

Login Required will do most of what you require.

These 'one click' installers are known to give you problems sooner or later. I suggest that you used the files from here updating your board as described in the Updating Instructions

install that extenions, activate it and then to create your login page the way you requested
copy the following into a text file and name it login_body.html
then upload it to your prosilver_dark/template folder.
then to the the admin panel and purge the cache
then see what you get when you try to access the board when not logged in.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html dir="{S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}" lang="{S_USER_LANG}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
{META}
<title>LOGIN</title>

thank you vey much for this .....here are the results :
I did exactly what you told me and uploaded the file in the right directory....Cleared cache in the Admin board....
then I tried to login to the forum:

that came out.....some info regarding the site and the picture board...Then I clicked the login bottom and this came out

this login is the one Im looking for is there a way to center the login boxes in the middle of the screen? so it wont be in the top left corner
About the first picture is that normal? for people to see the first time? it is possible to have just the login boxes in the center ?

thank you very much again for the attention and I wish all your family and friends a nice holidays!!

ok, I missed the part about wanting just the login page when a guest goes to the board.
I am working on that and on getting it centered on the page.
right not I have to get some sleep it is after 1 a.m. here.
oh, I suggest you undo what I said in the first post above.

I will get back to you tomorrow.
