Login box at the top

[rapt0r2]

I wanted to to have login box at the overall_header like in iamge 1, but I cant get it to work properlly .. when I am logging in from my forums index every thing works great but when I am viewing a topic and want to login nothing happens.. :eh:
And how to hide the login box when on login page? (Image 2)
P.S.- I used Ctrl+U in Firefox to view a pages source code that has such a login box and tried to apply the changes to my forum... the changes I did look like this-

Code: Select all

					<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN and not S_IS_BOT -->
					<ul class="linklist leftside">
						<form method="post" action="{S_LOGIN_ACTION}" style="float:left;width:90%;overflow:visible;">
							<fieldset class="quick-login" style="float:left;white-space:nowrap;">
								<label for="username">{L_USERNAME}:</label>&nbsp;<input tabindex="100" type="text" name="username" id="username" size="10" class="inputbox" style="min-width:100px" title="{L_USERNAME}" />  
								<label for="password">{L_PASSWORD}:</label>&nbsp;<input tabindex="101" type="password" name="password" id="password" size="10" class="inputbox" style="min-width:100px" title="{L_PASSWORD}" />
					<!-- IF S_AUTOLOGIN_ENABLED -->
						<label for="autologin">{L_LOG_ME_IN} <input tabindex="102" type="checkbox" name="autologin" id="autologin" /></label>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
								<input tabindex="104" type="submit" name="login" value="{L_LOGIN}" class="button2" />
							</fieldset>
						</form>
					</ul>
					<!-- ENDIF -->

phpBB only supports the login box on the index page. You can however get around this by moving one line of code to a different file.
Open: index.php; Find:

Code: Select all

'S_LOGIN_ACTION'            => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}ucp.$phpEx", 'mode=login'), 

Copy and remove this line, now:
Open: includes/functions.php; Find:

Code: Select all

'T_STYLESHEET_NAME'        => $user->theme['theme_name'], 

On the next line past the copied line.

Thanks a lot Erik Frèrejean Works perfect..
And so remains only one little problem.. how to hide the top login box when you are in the login page.. just like this forum has- http://rmcgirr83.org/ucp.php?mode=login

Ok it turns out to be a problem after I did the changes- I cant login to the ACP (!!!) I get redirected to the forums index..

As I stated in the topic that you posted on my forum, that is from this mod

Thank you.. I think everything now works fine.. ..exept that the bouth logins are displayed like in the image 2 (in my first post)... any clue? how did you RMcGirr83 get it to work?

Well the easiest way probably would be, by enclosing the html for your "top" login box with:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_LOGIN_ACTION -->
[Login box code here]
<!-- ENDIF -->

I haven't tested this, so I'm not sure whether this creates a conflict somewhere. I think however that it doesn't .

That reminds me...currently with that mod if clicking on a forum link from a notification in an email and not automatically logged in, you get both "login bodies". That is you will get the usual login box (that redirects upon successful login to the topic) as well as the login box at the top of the forum.

So could a, eg, <!-- IF not S_LOGIN_ACTION and not S_REDIRECT -->, I know that's not correct btw I did say "eg", be used? Otherwise, you get two login boxes. Yes?

BTW, I know questions concerning a mod belong in the mods topic...more of a discussion purpose.

With this the login box is displayed everywhere you need it exept in the index page.. and I have already removed the login box at the bottom of the page in index_body..
