yeah that's the login form itself. stores the info in varables. What I'm looking for is a panel I can modify the size and color and put it in the right side of my index page. That's where I stuck. I have a panel with rounded edges where the login textboxes are on the left side and I want to put a copy of just the panel on the right side.

Here the URL of my sie. I fixed it so you can login and check it out.

has your canvus..page elements  etc. etc  ---  mod custom_index is where you would call your page element including two_column_left_sidebar_maincontent  make a table in maincontent relocate the call the the login to the maincontent table, annotate out the left_sidebar call to the login or remove it.  This would be only but one possible way, there are many depending on who you may talk to.

I'm sorry, somethings missing in the translation here. I don't understand what you've said : (

Sorry,

".. a panel I can modify the size and color and put it in the right side of my index page..."
What content do you want to put on the right hand side ?
static or dynamic ? if dynamic, from what source..?
e.g. http://hrea.ensci.us/ ==>
look at the RHS dynamic content ;-) I coded that :LOLZ ;-)

( there's more if could login, but closed site )

Well as for content right now all I want is a mediumsize( about 200 X 200 px rounded corner box on the right side of the large yellow panel with the top edge being even with the login panel. I will put a png image and/or some text in that spot. No widgets. Thanks for responing Dhrup! Here is the latest of what I tried to do. Somehow I think content.php is involved too. css.php was the only place i knew where I could describe a box:

I created what I hoped was a box in css.php

#newbox {
    margin:200px 10px 0 10px;
    padding:0 10px 4px 10px;
    background: green;
    -webkit-border-radius: 8px;
    -moz-border-radius: 8px;
    width:200px;
    }

I added this to index.php:
$newbox = #newbox;

I also included it in:
$body = elgg_view_layout('new_index',$login, $files, $newest_members, $blogs, $groups, $bookmarks, $newbox);

i had previously commented out the vars $files, $newest_members, $blogs, $groups, $bookmarks.

I didn't realize it at the time but I could just have eliminated them from $body.

I assume that elgg_view_layout() is the function that displays the content on the screen. God knows where that resides!

But...all that happened was that my page dissapeared!

I'm beginning to think that the whole thing is an exercise in futility!

OK I guess this is a dead end here. I haven't gone about this in the right way at all. I'm going to start all over with a clean install on another site. And this time I will start out with customindex plugin. I'll put file I think is modifiable in a seperate text file and compare them all at the same time.

Thanks alot to everyone who's been helping me!

Hi P3aul,

  I just spent the last 4 days editing a socializeme theme on one of my projects. You can see the result at http://www.mamiwelt.com. I can help with information for editing the theme if you still need it.

Hi Wolfepk1!

Thats a nice looking theme you have there.I have been working with wordpress trying to modify it. I just deleted Elgg from y server because I crashed it. I am now uploading Elgg 1.6 and I guess I'll have  new can of worms involved with it! I'll keep you updated and maybe you can help me out. You obviously know what you'r doing. Right now I have to back my head out Wordpress and get my noggin wrapped around Elgg again!

Thanks for responding, sorry for the delay. I just read your post.
