Moving the login form

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I am building a site where the login to the dashboard will be on the front page.

Is this as simple as moving the login code to the front page, or do I have to "turn off " the current single page login to do this?

There's a free add-on that lets you add a login box on any page. I don't know if it takes you right to the dashboard, though.

<form method="post" action="<?=$this->url('/login', 'do_login')?>">
<label for="uName">
  <?php if(USER_REGISTRATION_WITH_EMAIL_ADDRESS == true): ?>
      <?php echo t('Email Address') ?>
  <?php else: ?>
      <?php t('Username') ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
</label>
<input type="text" name="uName" id="uName" />
<label for="uPassword"><?php echo t('Password') ?></label>
<input type="password" name="uPassword" id="uPassword" />
<?php if(OpenIDAuth::isEnabled()): ?>
<label for="uOpenID"><?php t('Login with OpenID') ?>:</label>
<input type="text" name="uOpenID" id="uOpenID" />
<?php endif; ?>

This is basically the form. You can strip out even more of it if you don't need oath and email signin. It just posts to /login/do_login

You can basically stick a form anywhere you want as long as it has the uName and uPassword and post to /login/do_login

Like for most sites this would work fine
<form method="post" action="<?php $this->url('/login', 'do_login') ?>">
<label>Username</label>
<input type="text" name="uName" ?>
<label>Password</label>
<input type="text" name="uPassword" />
<input type="submit" value="Sign In" />
</form>


You can have as many logins as you want and I would leave the default one.

Is there a pure HTML way of doing this?

Just learning Concrete5 and not wanting to edit system files if I don't have to.

thanks,
