Customize Login Page

Ok, I have my site allllllllmost ready to go. I am using SiteAccess and Externalpages. How can I add a block of text to the middle section of the login page? With Externalpages I can easily add content to the left and right columns. I also have Vazco_Mainpage which allows me to add HTML content blocks, but I can't just have a specific block for non logged in users. Making any sense? Here is my current page, I just want a nice block in the middle. Suggestions? Thanks for a GREAT community tool!

  • Peter, the simplest solution is to enable caching in the vazco_mainpage, create a text block with the use of HTML widget, go to vazco_mainpage/cache.php, find the block and put if (isloggedin()){ YOURBLOCK}

    I can also create a dropdown on each plugin that would allow to define wether it's for logged in/ logged out/all users as a custom development. If you're interrested in this feature, please contact me.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I did end up doing what you recommend above (good to know I was on the right track) I may want to future proof this down the road with your assistance. I will certainly keep you posted.
