Simple login page

[gaz_az]

I made a very plain login page with a central logo, and a few links to login/register & recover password. Thought it was simple and keeps the riffraff out of the main site.


Firstly make backups of the files that are being replaced so you can revert back if you don't like it!

Edit the index.htm page with your site details , and copy it to   /www

Upload nzedblogo.png to /www/themes_shared/images   , you can use your own image which you will need to rename.

Upload the .tpl files to the frontend folder of your theme. I'm using alpha theme.

Upload the .php files to /www/pages  ,and overwrite the originals.

Open Admin Panel/Edit-site and change Default Home Page: to    /index.php


Thats it really !

Good idea

[gaz_az]

Updated files for the most recent DEV release which is what I am using. I am sure the php files could be easily edited if anyone is on master.

Nice addon!

gaz_az could you prepare a diff or PR for this mod, so I can more easily try importing it into dev?

I love this idea it doesn't seem to work with the newest version though, any tips on for a beginner on any easy way to get this setup>?

[gaz_az]

Haven't had a site running for a while now, but did a new install a few days ago. I have updated my login pages to work with the most recent DEV version (19-7-2015). I have only tested it with alpha theme, but it may work with others with/without modification.

Sorry - I'm a real beginner, and don't really know how to do this !
